What channel is Tennessee basketball vs. Kentucky on today? Time, TV schedule for Vols' game

Tennessee basketball has a tall task on Saturday in Rupp Arena, facing Kentucky following mid-week losses by both programs.

The Vols were upset at home by South Carolina on Tuesday, a team that had beaten Kentucky the week prior in Columbia. It was the Vols' first home loss of the season and set them back in the SEC race.

Kentucky (15-5, 5-3 SEC) also had a setback in the SEC standings with a OT loss to Florida on Wednesday. A loss Saturday would put the Wildcats two losses behind the top four in the loss column heading into the second half of conference play.
