In contrast to football, where scarcity rules the day, college basketball has multiple hundreds of teams in action twice each week. You can rely on the network promos to help you decide what to give your attention, or you can come here and see what’s of interest to Vols fans in particular.

Here’s our list of games worth watching this weekend, specifically curated for fans of the Tennessee Volunteers.

Home Away Time TV
SATURDAY, 2/9/19
#19 Wisconsin #7 Michigan 12:00 PM FOX
#5 Kentucky Mississippi State 1:00 PM CBS
Auburn #21 LSU 2:00 PM ESPN2
Florida #1 Tennessee 4:00 PM ESPN
#2 Duke #3 Virginia 6:00 PM ESPN
SUNDAY, 2/10/19
#25 Cincinnati #12 Houston 4:00 PM ESPN

Your headliner for the weekend is the Vols hosting Florida at 4:00 on ESPN. But the rest of the nation will be salivating over No. 2 Duke at No. 3 Virginia immediately following on the same network, and we should watch that one, too.

Earlier in the day, we want Michigan to lose and both Kentucky and LSU (future Tennessee opponents) to both win to strengthen the Vols NET ranking.

Do we want UK and LSU to win? I’m all for SOS, but I’m also all for having some cushion to win the league.

I was cheering for Mississippi State on Wednesday, but they couldn’t get it done, letting LSU escape in OT. LSU has now won 3 league games in OT and lost by 1 to Arkansas last weekend. They could just as easily be 5-4 as 9-0.

UK seems to have put the pieces together. That’ll be a real tough game next Saturday in Rupp.

All fair points.

Let’s just beat everybody, win the league, AND get the top overall seed. Then we’ll all be happy!

I will always root against Kentucky, even when we are on the bubble and theoretically want them to win for SOS. I just can’t help it.
