    Tennessee Cancelled

    With this matchup cancelled, wonder if there’s any chance of a replacement or if they just don’t play that day.

    Somebody must be available.

    Eastern's close by, WSU's close by, Idaho, Montana, Montana State. Maybe even a late "exhibition game," if allowed, against a regional D2 team. Hate to see a lost chance for more game experience even if it's not Tennessee caliber.

      They have a week to schedule another opponent, so I think it can be done.

        The bigger problem maybe lining up a broadcaster at this late date.

          Let's get Notre Dame (who also had their game against Tenn cancelled) on the phone and make something happen.

            Yes.

                Montana always plays us tough - always.

                I would love them, and it's 3 hours down the street.

                  It's going to be like this all year.

                      ?

                      Gonzaga vs Tennessee game was 1 of 2 games comprising 2020 Jimmy V Classic. ESPN has announcers already lined up; it’s essentially the network’s most important college hoops programming...if not in matchups/significance any given season certainly in terms of sentimentality. I’m expecting a marquee team will step in to replace the Vols.

                        Me, too. ESPN (and Gonzaga) are working hard to find a replacement. Something tells me Zag fans will be happy with whatever matchup happens.

                          Well, if Baylor is still on pause, Illinois will be available.

                            Sources: West Virginia is expected to replace Tennessee and face Gonzaga in next week's Jimmy V Classic in Indianapolis.
