The second round of the NCAA Tournament is here and all eyes are on the Tennessee Vols going up against UCLA on Saturday night. Fans still remain pretty upset over the tip-off time for this one, as things are set to get started at 9:40 p.m. ET.

Despite that, Rick Barnes and his players are going to be laser focused on getting the job done against the Bruins in order to move on to the Sweet Sixteen. With this game being played at Rupp Arena too, the expectation is that plenty of fans will be on hand from Knoxville. If you won't be watching things at the arena, we've got TV info for you in this piece.

Tennessee vs. UCLA is scheduled for 9:40 p.m. on TBS and truTV

Tennessee is favored for this one, but Mick Cronin and his players were quite impressive in the first round, taking down Utah State without breaking much of a sweat. Tennessee also looked sharp in the first round against Wofford.

Chaz Lanier and Zakai Zeigler were downright sensational in the win on Thursday night. Lanier was on fire, scoring 29 points. Zeigler added 12 points, but he also chipped in with a head-turning 12 assists. On top of that, not a single turnover for ZZ. If the Vols want to advance and keep their Final Four dreams alive, those two will need to be at their best once again.
