What time is Tennessee basketball vs Florida today? Time, TV schedule to watch SEC Tournament championship game

[ASFN Admin]

Tennessee Vols basketball can continue to build its claim for a 1-seed in the NCAA Tournament in Sunday's SEC Tournament final against Florida in Nashville.

Tennessee held on for a 70-65 win over Auburn in the semifinal Saturday, its best win of the season to this point. The race for the final 1-seed figures to be down to the Vols and Gators, with Alabama on the outside looking in after Saturday's loss to Florida.

UF's non-conference schedule is the only weight to its resume after recording a long list of quality wins in SEC play. Saturday's dominant victory over Alabama is the latest Quad 1 victory.

The Vols and Gators played twice in the regular season, splitting the series with the home teams winning in blowout fashion in each matchup. The tiebreaking game takes place Sunday on a neutral court.
