It is Tuesday and tonight we have men’s basketball on tap as the Florida Gators host their Southeastern Conference rivals, the No. 10 Tennessee Volunteers. Why waste time with the introduction? Let us jump right in.
The Vols are far and away the best team in the SEC so far this year entering the 2020-21 campaign the preseason favorite to win the league, having won three-straight games since getting stomped by the Alabama Crimson Tide back on Jan. 2. Meanwhile, the Gators have lost three of their last four and have struggled through their SEC schedule so far.
Suffice to say, it is not looking good for the Gators, but it is still a game worth checking out with tip off scheduled for 7 p.m. EST. We will have you need to know here on Gators Wire as the day progresses.
