Back-to-back Southeastern Conference games at home have been great to the Georgia men’s basketball team, but a much tougher task awaits the Bulldogs this week as they venture away from the friendly confines of Stegeman Coliseum.

They travel Wednesday to Thompson-Boling Arena in Knoxville to face Tennessee (15-1, 2-1), the nation’s No. 1 team before a loss last week to Florida. After that road trip, they return home for a Saturday meeting with Auburn (15-1, 3-0), the team expected to slide into the No. 1 ranking nationally — though the Tigers are expected to be without star Johni Broome, a national player of the year frontrunner who suffered a serious ankle sprain in Saturday’s win at South Carolina.
