Cheridene Green Nets Career-High for Unbeaten Tennessee

By Bradley Gains on January 8, 2018

Cheridene Green netted a career-high 17 points to help University of Tennessee remain unbeaten on the season as they move to 15-0.

The redshirt junior went 7-of-8 from the field and also added five rebounds along with two assists in the 86-73 SEC victory for the No.7 ranked Lady Vols over Vanderbilt.

“From my perspective, I told myself we just have to have energy, and we just have to communicate,” Green said post-game.

“We have to listen and have effort. That’s what I mainly focused on. If something wasn’t going well, I focused on something else.

“I just made sure that I was communicating with my teammates and going for every rebound. My main thing was just focusing on the little things.”

“I’m always ready, no matter how many minutes I get. I’m always going to be ready to go in even if it’s just grabbing rebounds or talking or playing defence. I’m always ready and excited to play.”

Green is averaging 6.3 points per game so far this season having returned from a long-term injury.

The former GB Under-20 surpasses her 16-point total against Troy last month, which also saw Green collect a career-best of 13 rebounds.

Do you like our work?

We have a tiny favour to ask. In 2018 we set out to make Hoopsfix sustainable by building our relationship directly with our readers. Up until now, Hoopsfix has been creating editorials, videos and podcasts to provide sorely missing coverage of the British game and its distinct culture and community.

We have funded Hoopsfix with our freelance work creating basketball media, but sadly that means not only does it fall behind our client’s priorities, but some of those clients are the same organisations we need to report objectively on putting us in a conflicted position.

We want to devote more time to our mission of helping British basketball reach its potential, and produce even more content for the basketball community by making Hoopsfix a sustainable 100% independent business funded directly by our readers through Patreon.

If everyone who enjoys our content chose to support us, our future would be much more secure. For as little as $3 per month, you can support Hoopsfix – and it only takes a minute.

We are tremendously honoured and humbled to have a community of people who value what we do, and we look forward to being at the forefront of the British game as it continues to evolve.
