How to watch: Tennessee vs. Louisiana

The NCAA Tournament tips off today, and Tennessee fans have a long day of waiting ahead to see the Volunteers play. Tennessee and Louisiana will tip-off at 9:40 p.m. ET in Orlando, with the winner set to advance to the round of 32 to take on the winner of Duke-Oral Roberts.

Louisiana is coming off of a championship run through the Sun Belt Tournament, while Tennessee limps in still trying to figure things out after losing point guard Zakai Zeigler to a torn ACL two weeks ago.

The Volunteers are favored by eleven points tonight, per DraftKings Sportsbook.

The Ragin’ Cajuns are no slouch. They have a former five-star big man holding things down in the middle, as Jordan Brown is averaging nearly 20 points and nine rebounds. They’ve also got a couple of guards connecting from long range at 40+ percent.

Tennessee will be leaning heavily on Santiago Vescovi and Josiah-Jordan James tonight offensively, while their four bigs will each share responsibility defensively on Brown. The Volunteers certainly have a challenge ahead of them tonight.
