TUCSON, AZ – Returning to McKale Center for a marquee showdown, No. 9 Arizona Basketball (9-1, 1-1) takes on No. 6 Tennessee (9-1). 

Arizona Basketball got the dominant win over Texas A&M-Corpus Christi earlier this week but now the challenge is on as the Wildcats take on No. 6 Tennessee.

Returning to action inside the McKale Center, Arizona will have another huge test as they welcome the Volunteers to town.

Coming in, Tennessee is an elite defensive team with tremendous size, talent, and athleticism. They are well-coached, and this will be one hell of a showdown!

Overall, this should be an interesting game that the Wildcats will be challenged in greatly! If Arizona is to win, they are going to have to play like they did against Indiana and bring the intensity!

So with Arizona Basketball preparing for No. 6 Tennessee, here is how you can watch and follow their game.
