Tennessee will open its postseason this afternoon in Nashville, set to take on Steven Pearl’s Auburn Tigers, who are desperately looking for another win to lock into the NCAA Tournament. Auburn’s transition year to Steven hasn’t gone as planned, with the Tigers sitting at 17-15 overall and squarely on the bubble.
Today they run into Tennessee again, which is likely set to get star player Nate Ament back from an ankle injury. The 5-star freshman was on a tear before suffering the injury, pushing his average up to over 17 points per game. It remains to be seen if he’s anywhere close to 100 percent, however.
Ament scored 22 points in Tennessee’s win over Auburn back on February 1st, going to the free throw line 15 times. The Volunteers won that matchup 77-69.
Today, Tennessee and Auburn will fight for the right to advance to Friday, where the winner will take on Vanderbilt.
