September 16, 2016 | Men's Basketball
The Tennessee basketball team will be presented with a custom-made, eight-foot, hand-crafted surfboard during Saturday's football game against Ohio at Neyland Stadium to celebrate its participation in the 2016 Maui Jim Maui Invitational.
The surfboard presentation will take place following the first quarter at the 20-yard line on the northwest side of the field. The Tennessee cheer squad and mascot, Smokey, are also scheduled be part of the presentation.
Sun, surf and hoops make for an outstanding Thanksgiving vacation on the beautiful island of Maui, and travel packages are available for fans interested in joining the Vols at the Maui Invitational this November. Games take place Nov. 21-23.
