Tennessee basketball snapped its losing streak by beating 11th-ranked Louisville, thanks to an all-around effort. Even with a minor slump going on, Nate Ament has still found ways to impact the game for Tennessee. He makes smart passes and is always active defensively. Ament hustles after loose balls and never lacks effort.
Ament may have been a victim of Rick Barnes' demanding schedule. By no means has Ament been bad, but he has had a little bit of a slump versus high-major competition. This is not uncommon, especially for a skill set like Ament's, a lanky combo forward.
