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.
