Tennessee and Memphis will take 2020-21 off, thanks to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, but they’ll be back in action next season. Part three of the series was set to take place in Nashville this December, but neutral-site games quickly became difficult to organize.
With so much uncertainty, both programs have agreed to simply push the date back a year and try again during the 2021-22 season. The new date for the matchup is set for December 18th, 2021, per an announcement on Monday morning.
“This was the right thing to do, and it’s the best thing for both teams’ fanbases,” Tennessee associate head coach Michael Schwartz said.
