While plenty of people were still celebrating the football win over Kentucky, there were countless eyes on Tennessee basketball on Sunday night going up against the Duke Blue Devils. In the end, Duke posted an 83-76 win in Knoxville, but this was just an exhibition matchup and Rick Barnes surely liked what he saw out of his team for the most part.
In the loss, there were moments where 5-star freshman Nate Ament looked fantastic, with a monster two-handed jam getting everyone off their seats. However, Ament also struggled shooting the ball, going 5-of-19 from the floor.
