The men’s basketball team will face the Florida Gators on Wednesday in the first SEC home game of the season.
The Gators will be led by Billy Donovan’s replacement, and first year head coach Michael (Mike) White, the same Mike White from Louisiana Tech that rejected the Vols offer to take the job that was given to former coach Donnie Tyndall. Who knows where the Tennessee program would be right now if White accepted the job, but Tennessee fans will get their first look at their new rival.
The Gators come in with a four-game win streak over Tennessee, and won last season’s contest by a score of 66-49.
