How to watch today's Tennessee Volunteers vs Florida Gators NCAA Men's Basketball game: Live stream, TV channel, and start time

The Florida Gators (18-2) are set to battle the Tennessee Volunteers (17-4) in a highly anticipated SEC matchup on Saturday.

Riding high off their dominant 73-43 victory over then-No. 1 Tennessee just weeks ago, the Gators are looking to repeat history when they visit Knoxville. Florida has remained rock solid, holding onto the No. 5 spot in the AP Top 25 rankings for three straight weeks, proving they’re a force to be reckoned with.

Meanwhile, the Volunteers are aiming to secure their fifth conference win but have struggled to assert their dominance in the SEC. Sitting at 4-4 in league play, Tennessee has endured some tough battles, including a loss to this very Florida squad last month. They picked up a solid win over Texas but faltered against No. 1 Auburn over the weekend. Their most recent outing saw them suffer a 78-73 home loss to a ranked Kentucky squad on Tuesday.

Here, GOAL brings you everything you need to know about how to watch the Tennessee Volunteers vs Florida Gators NCAA Women's game, plus plenty more.
