Tennessee vs. Florida Men: How to watch, TV channel, streaming, start time, predicted lineups and stats

The No. 8 Florida Gators (13-1, 0-1 SEC) recently suffered their first loss of the season, and things don't get easier when they host the No. 1 Tennessee Volunteers (14-0, 1-0 SEC) on Tuesday.

The SEC has emerged as by far the best conference in the 2024/25 season, and this game features two of its 10 ranked teams.

Florida's recent loss was on the road against the No. 10 Kentucky Wildcats by a 106-100 score. That was the Gators' first game against a ranked team, but they've beaten storied programs such as Virginia and North Carolina this season.

The Vols have been dominant all season. This is their third matchup against a ranked opponent in 2024/25, having beaten then-No. 13 Baylor by 15 in late November and then-No. 23 Arkansas by 24 this past weekend.
