Tennessee basketball released the game time and broadcast details for nearly its entire 2023-24 schedule Thursday afternoon. Only one SEC game on the schedule doesn’t have a set game time while a handful of others have flex television options.
A number of early season non conference games, particularly ones against lesser opponents, have yet to set a game time or broadcast details.
The Vols play a challenging out of conference schedule which includes true road games at North Carolina and Wisconsin, a home game against Illinois and a neutral site game against North Carolina State and three more challenges at the 2023 Maui Invitational.
Rick Barnes’ ninth Tennessee team is one of the top favorites to win the SEC which leads to a back loaded conference schedule. The Vols face Missouri, Texas A&M, Auburn, Alabama and Kentucky in the final three weeks of the regular season.
Tennessee is a near consensus preseason top 10 team after returning super seniors Josiah-Jordan James and Santiago Vescovi from last season’s Sweet 16 team while adding talented redshirt freshman Freddie Dilione (who early enrolled and redshirted last season) and transfers Jordan Gainey and Dalton Knecht to the roster.
Here’s a look at Tennessee basketball’s schedule and game times.
