Tennessee will play Michigan State in a charity exhibition game to benefit Maui, Hawaii wildfire relief efforts.
The game will take place at Breslin Center in East Lansing, Michigan on Oct. 29. All proceeds will be donated to the Hawaii Community Foundation’s Maui Strong Fund, which provides financial resources to the relief efforts for those impacted by the Maui wildfires.
Further details and ticket information will be announced at a later date.
“First, I appreciate coach (Tom) Izzo and Michigan State for hosting this game, which will benefit a community that means so much to the world of college basketball,” Tennessee head coach Rick Barnes said. “While we certainly need to continue to pray for the families in Maui who have been impacted, this benefit game will enable us to offer tangible support toward the restoration of Maui and its beautiful spirit.”
The Vols will play in Hawaii during the regular-season.
Tennessee is one of eight teams scheduled to play in the 2023 Maui Invitational. The event will be held Nov. 20-22 at Lahaina Civic Center in Lahaina, Hawaii.
