How to watch the Kentucky basketball game vs. #5 Tennessee

Here's how to watch the Kentucky basketball game vs. #5 Tennessee.

The Kentucky Wildcats are set to host the Tennessee Volunteers for a top-ten showdown in Rupp Arena. 

Despite both of these teams losing early in the week, this will still be a highly anticipated basketball game that will have massive implications in SEC Tournament seeding and March Madness seeding. 

The biggest key in this game for the Kentucky Wildcats will be trying to slow Tennessee star Dalton Knecht, who is averaging 20.1 points per game this season and more than that in SEC play. Kentucky's defense has been a struggle all season long, so it will be interesting to see if the Wildcats are able to stop the frontrunner to win SEC Player of the Year. 

Kentucky is desperately looking to win a Quad 1 game, so there is some extra motivation in this ball game on top of the dislike shared between these two basketball programs. 

The Wildcats have played well against top-ten teams this season and will look to continue that trend against the Volunteers. 

Let's take a look at how to watch Kentucky's matchup with the Tennessee Volunteers.
