Tennessee vs Florida Atlantic preview

As one of the only remaining Cinderella stories still playing out at March Madness 2023, Florida Atlantic's historic run sells itself. However, head coach Dusty May going out of his way to insult the rampaging bull that is the Tennessee basketball – yes, basketball – program has turned this clash into the must-watch contest of the Sweet 16 round.

We're not sure how much his players would have appreciated May likening a robust Volunteers team to an Aussie rules outfit, but Madison Square Garden is certainly an appropriate setting for what's now likely to be a deeply bruising encounter.

Rick Barnes' Vols have every right to feel a little hard-done by. Sure, they didn't play too much expansive basketball against Duke on Saturday, but it's the only way they were going to beat one of the NCAA Division I basketball tournament's most successful programs. The game plan worked, and if nothing else, May has provided plenty of incentive for the Vols to progress even further.

The Owls, who had never won a March Madness game before this year, are the second lowest-ranking team to reach this stage. Their 3-point shooting has been a major weapon throughout the first two rounds, and it could prove more vital than ever if the Volunteers choose to sit deep and frustrate. 

Follow our guide below to tune into a Tennessee vs Florida Atlantic live stream and watch March Madness online from anywhere – including some great ways to catch all the NCAA hoops action for free.

If you don't already have cable, by far and away the best deal for watching March Madness is pairing Sling with Paramount Plus.

March Madness 2023: watch every game for $20.

TBS, TNT and TruTV are all available with Sling Blue, which normally comes in at $40 per month, but new Sling customers can get their first month for half price and then you can cancel when you're done. There are no long contracts.

While you can't get CBS on Sling, streaming service Paramount Plus will be showing every CBS March Madness 2023 game. Given that you can get a 30-day free trial of Paramount Plus with the code 'PICARD', that adds all the missing matches for nothing. Just don't forget to cancel – or keep it if you like it.

Outside the US? For those away from home, remember that you can use a VPN to access Sling and Paramount Plus from abroad.

How to watch Tennessee vs Florida Atlantic from outside your country

If you try to watch Tennessee vs Florida Atlantic coverage from anywhere outside your home country, you'll soon find a problem - geo-blocking. That's where your home broadcaster prevents you from watching your usual feed from abroad. It's a common problem for sports fans all over the world. 

But by downloading and installing a VPN, you can effectively trick your computer into thinking that it's back at home, even when you aren't.
