The updated details.
After a couple tough games on the road, Tennessee returns home tonight to face the Florida Gators. The original tip-off time of 7 p.m. ET has been moved up two hours, due to the winter weather that has hit the Knoxville area.
The new tip-off time is set for 5 p.m. ET.
The Volunteers split last week, losing a tough one to Mississippi State and coming back to beat a hot-shooting Georgia squad. They get the Gators tonight at Food City Center — a place where they rarely lose.
Florida is 1-2 in conference play so far, losing a tight one to Kentucky and getting blown out by Ole Miss. They rebounded with a blowout win of their own over Arkansas over the weekend. The Gators have dropped their two true road games so far — Ole Miss and Wake Forest. They’ve got a tough assignment in Knoxville, but perhaps a potentially lighter crowd could ease the noise.
Tennessee is a 9.5 point favorite tonight. KenPom has the Vols now ranked eighth overall, while Florida checks in at No. 40. The metric favors Tennessee by ten points.
