Honor Huff was asked Friday night, after the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga’s 81-71 win at Louisville, how he and freshman point guard Myles Che complement each other on the court.
Huff started laughing before responding: “Myles is a problem, man. Myles is a problem.”
For other teams. Not for the Mocs — except maybe when one of them is trying to guard him in practice.
Che’s performance, which included 22 points in 26 minutes, was no surprise to Huff, a sophomore guard who also impressed with seven 3-pointers and a career-high 25 points as the Mocs improved to 2-0. Along with junior Florida transfer Trey Bonham (who as a two-time transfer likely has to sit out this season due to NCAA rules), Huff had battled against the 6-foot-3 Che during the preseason.
So he knew what his teammate was capable of on game night.
