Why Opponents ‘Should Be Worried’ About Tennessee Basketball Freshman Nate AmentScoring just two points on five shot attempts in the first half, Nate Ament appeared to be facing a setback with his recent emergence for Tennessee basketball. Ament has now scored 17-plus points in five straight games for Tennessee and is averaging 21 points per game over that stretch. The five-star freshman is figuring it out, finding consistency and starting to play like one of the SEC’s best wing players. Ament is doing a better job of attacking space and not getting lost in an often crowded area around the rim when Tennessee plays two-big men. It’s not the most analytically efficient shot, but Ament is a plus shooter from five-to-15 feet, and can get it off almost whenever he wants.
