"Ament is a projected top-10 pick in the upcoming NBA draft and is Tennessee's second-leading scorer behind Ja'Kobi Gillespie. Ament, a 6-foot-10 forward who has impressed with his versatility and shooting stroke, is averaging 17.4 points, 6.4 rebounds and 2.4 assists per game."
"His return looms large for Auburn, which is on the NCAA tournament bubble. While a flurry of results in other conference tournaments Wednesday helped Auburn's case for a bid, a win would loom large for the Tigers' NCAA chances."
