The coronavirus pandemic halted Tennessee basketball Volunteers activities.
With its season-opener against the Charlotte 49ers just two days away, Tennessee basketball has had to halt team activities. The program revealed Monday that multiple people had positive COVID-19 test results.
One of those to test positive was head coach Rick Barnes, and he has begun quarantining.
