Tennessee Battles Without Ament vs South Carolina

0:00On March 3rd, Tennessee wraps up its road games in the regular season tonight against South Carolina. The volunteers face a Gamecox team sitting near the bottom of the SEC conference. But the big news is that star player Nate Aement will miss the match up due to an ankle injury, as confirmed by the school today. Aement had been on fire this February, sparking a strong run for Tennessee. His hot streak helped the team grab four wins in a row, and eight out of nine games overall. This absence hit hard for the volunteers, who were riding high before the injury sideline their key contributor. Fans and analysts see it as a major setback heading into this final road test. The ankle issue started last Tuesday against Missouri, and got worse, just days later versus Alabama. Aement tried to push through, but couldn't make it work in time for tonight. With Aement out, Tennessee will lean on his depth to close strong on the road, and shift focus to the postseason ahead.
