The Tennessee men’s basketball team tips off its 111th basketball season with a Tuesday night clash (tonight, December 8) against Colorado. The opening jump is slated for 5 p.m. central time. The pre-game show starts at 4:30 p.m. on WJLE and the VOL Network.
Fans can listen live on WJLE to hear Bob Kesling and Bert Bertlekamp describing the action.
Tuesday’s tip will be the Vols first game in 276 days and UT’s first matchup with Colorado since 1981. Tennessee leads the all-time series with the Buffaloes, 2-0, dating to 1980.
A win would give the Orange & White a 31-3 record in home openers inside Thompson-Boling and head man Rick Barnes an 18-1 record in his last 19 season lid lifters.
Up next, Tennessee will remain at home for a Saturday contest with Cincinnati. Tipoff inside Thompson-Boling Arena is set for 11:30 a.m central time with the pre-game show at 11:00 a.m. on the VOL Network.
