Florida vs. Tennessee

When/where: 6; O'Connell Center, Gainesville.

TV/radio: ESPN2; 620-AM

Records: Florida 13-15, 6-9 SEC; Tennessee 14-13, 6-9.

Notable: Both teams have lost six of their last seven games. Florida junior F Dorian Finney-Smith has been reinstated after a three-game suspension for violation of team rules. He hasn't played in two weeks, and missed one week of practice, so how well he'll assimilate remains to be seen. Leading scorer Michael Frazier, who has missed the last five games with a high-ankle sprain, is still in pain and his status is unclear. The Gators will try for the third time to get coach Billy Donovan win No. 500. "We know it's on everyone's mind,'' freshman G Chris Chiozza said. "We're trying to get that 500."
