In a nearly last-minute agreement, the 2-0 CU Buffs’ men’s basketball team is hitting the road to take on the No. 13 Tennessee Volunteers on Tuesday at 4 p.m. MST. Colorado was initially set to face Colorado State on Dec. 8, but the Rams withdrew due to COVID-19 issues. Head coach Tad Boyle’s Buffs were nimble and replaced CSU with the Colorado School of Mines but on Saturday, the Buffs pivoted again to the SEC’s Tennessee Vols.
Tennessee, however, has had significant struggles with COVID-19 and yet to play a game this season. To learn a little more about the Vols, the CU Independent reached out to University of Tennessee journalism undergraduate and Colorado native, Delaney Tureson.
