Tennessee will play in the Regional 3 - Birmingham and its first round matchup against the Bulls will take place in Columbus, Ohio. The Tennessee-South Florida winner will play either No. 4 seed Ohio State or No. 13 seed Montana State in the second round.

March Madness will conclude with the 2025 Final Four being held, April 4-6, at Amalie Arena in Tampa, Florida.
