What to Know

The Tennessee Volunteers haven't won a game against the #17 Auburn Tigers since Jan. 31 of 2017, but they'll be looking to end the drought Saturday. Tennessee and the Tigers will face off in an SEC battle at noon ET at Thompson-Boling Arena. Tennessee should still be feeling good after a win, while Auburn will be looking to right the ship.

Tennessee beat the Kentucky Wildcats 81-73 on Tuesday. Tennessee's forward John Fulkerson did his thing and had 27 points in addition to six boards.

Meanwhile, Auburn entered their contest against the Texas A&M Aggies on Wednesday without any home losses -- but there's a first time for everything. It was close but no cigar for the Tigers as they fell 78-75 to A&M. If the result catches you off guard, it should: Auburn was the far and away favorite. They got a solid performance out of guard Samir Doughty, who shot 5-for-9 from downtown and finished with 25 points; unfortunately, it just wasn't enough for the victory.

Tennessee's win brought them up to 17-13 while Auburn's loss pulled them down to 24-6. Tennessee is 8-8 after wins this year, and Auburn is 2-3 after losses.
