Start time, TV set for Tennessee Basketball's charity exhibition game against Indiana
Tennessee Basketball‘s charity exhibition game against Indiana on October 27 will be a 3 p.m. Eastern Time start at Food City Center, according to Tennessee’s official online schedule. The game can also be streamed on SEC Network+.
Proceeds from the game will go to The John McClendon Foundation, which provides minorities access and opportunity through a scholarship program and leadership initiative.
“We are thrilled to host one of the best programs in the nation and support a worthy cause at the same time. I have a great deal of respect for Coach (Mike) Woodson and I look forward to sharing a sideline with him for the first time,” Tennessee coach Rick Barnes said in a press release when the game was announced.
“Indiana’s first visit to Knoxville provides an excellent test for our guys before the season officially begins. Most of all, though, it is a great way to raise money for an impactful organization whose mission I fully support.”
The Vols went to Michigan State last October for a charity exhibition, winning 89-88, and beat Gonzaga in a charity exhibition in Frisco, Texas, two years ago.
