Trump's "State of the Union" speech is at 9pm on most channels. (Spoiler: the state of our union is "emergency," and the "emergency" is Trump.)
But wait! The #1 UT men's basketball team takes on Missouri and the return of Cuonzo Martin to Thompson Boling Arena, 9pm on ESPN2.
I know which one I'll be watching. If I'm still awake.
