MEMPHIS -- The Memphis and Tennessee men's basketball programs jointly announced Monday that the Tigers and Volunteers neutral-site showdown initially scheduled for this December has been rescheduled for Dec. 18, 2021, at Bridgestone Arena in Nashville.
The contest was postponed one year due to the programs' shared belief that the game should be contested in a sold-out arena—unfeasible this winter given the current pandemic.
"The University of Memphis is looking forward to continuing what is a great intrastate series against Tennessee," Memphis head coach Penny Hardaway said. "The neutral-site game at Bridgestone Arena will provide an incredible atmosphere, and I know our fans will be excited about going to Nashville to support the Tigers.
