TENNESSEE VOLS BASKETBALL: Trip to Georgia set for Wednesday cover image

The Tennessee men's basketball team (13-6, 3-3 in Southeastern Conference) is set to continue the 2025-26 slate Wednesday, as it travels to Athens, Ga., to face the Georgia Bulldogs (16-4, 4-3). Tip-off is set for 7:00 p.m. ET.

The Volunteers' 100 wins over Georgia are their second-most against any school, trailing only their 132 against Vanderbilt.

The Vols are 7-1 in their last eight versus Georgia after going 2-9 in the prior 11, including dropping five in a row before the current eight-game span. Tennessee was ranked in all seven wins in this stretch and unranked in the loss.

UT has won two in a row in Athens after losing the previous six there.

Last year's game was first in series history with both sides in the AP top 25. Tennessee's 13 matchups with Mike White are its fifth-most against any active head coach, behind only John Calipari (40), Rick Pitino (22), Frank Martin (18) and Andy Kennedy (16).

After going 20-13 (8-10) and making the NCAA Tournament last year, Georgia was picked No. 14 in the SEC preseason poll. Jeremiah Wilkinson, a sophomore guard, paces Georgia with 17.7 ppg and 1.8 spg.
