Ament's Status Uncertain for Tennessee vs Auburn

0:00On March 12th, the 15th-seated Auburn Tigers take on the 5th-seated Tennessee Volunteers in the second round of the SEC Tournament this afternoon. Tennessee's standout freshman Ford Nate Oman is listed as questionable with a right leg injury, but he's expected to suit up despite the uncertainty around his minutes. Oman first got hurt in late February against Alabama and sat out the last two games. He got back on the court for practice with the team in Nashville yesterday, which has coaches optimistic he'll contribute. Fans and scouts can't get enough of this true freshman, whose second on Tennessee and scoring at 17.4 points per game, along with 6. 0.4 rebounds in solid playmaking. He's even projected as a top 10 NBA draft pick, and he dominated Auburn earlier this season with 22 points and 8 boards in their win. While Oman could return, no one knows for sure how much he'll play, and his two-way impact makes him tough to replace. If he's not at full strength, Auburn might exploit that inside. The game tips off at 2 p.m.
