Jason James Head Coach • First Season

2009-10 UT Martin Men’s Basketball


2008-09 OVC Champions


2009-10 SEASON OUTLOOK SKYHAWKS OUT TO PROVE LAST YEAR’S OVC CHAMPIONSHIP WAS NO FLUKE First-year head coach Jason James has heard it all. One year after The University of Tennessee at Martin captured its first outright regular-season Ohio Valley Conference title, several national publications are picking his 2009-10 Skyhawks near the bottom of the OVC. No more Lester Hudson, who led last year’s squad in scoring, assists, blocks and steals and since has moved on to the active roster of the NBA’s Boston Celtics. No Marquis Weddle, who eclipsed the 1,000 career point mark in just his sophomore season, for the team’s first seven games. Throw in the nation’s second-youngest NCAA Division-I men’s basketball coach, and the Skyhawks are in trouble, as all the national media are predicting. James wouldn’t have it any other way. “It really doesn’t bother me,” said James, who trails only Indiana-PurdueFort Wayne’s Dane Fife as the nation’s youngest Division-I men’s basketball coach. “If anything, it motivates our guys.” “I tell the guys all the time ‘performance counts’,” James said. “Everybody is judged on their performance, rather that’s fair or not. If we can show up and perform night in and night out, the wins and losses will take care of themselves.” Without the services of Weddle for the fall semester, the Skyhawks will need to rely heavily on strong guard play, which has been the Skyhawks’ strength over the last several years. Manning the point guard slot this season will be senior Delrico Lane, whose steady leadership and outgoing personality was an overlooked ingredient to last year’s championship run. Lane, who recovered from an early-

Head coach Jason James feels confident with senior Delrico Lane running the point in 2009-10. season injury to start 26 games last year, recorded an assist-to-turnover ratio of 2:1 while the team went 20-6 in games he started in 2008-09. Last year also gave Lane the opportunity to showcase his all-around skills, as he was one of only 12 NCAA Division-I players to average 5+ points, 4+ rebounds, 4+ assists, and 2+ steals per game. Backing up Lane will be sophomore MJ Brown, whose promising freshman season was derailed by a stress fracture in his leg midway through the season last year. Although Brown did come back from the injury, he combined to play only 11 minutes over the season’s last 20 games. However, with the injury fully healed, James has proclaimed Brown as one of the most pleasant surprises of the preseason. “We are solid at the point guard slot,” James said. “Delrico is preparing himself for a strong senior year and it was good to get MJ some games under his belt last year. We’re going to be

ttough.” Walk-ons Cataurius Taylor and Marquis Richardson will vie for the M tthird-string point guard position. Taylor spent the last two seasons at T East Mississippi Community College E iin Scooba, Miss. while Richardson prepped at Munford High School in p Atoka. The two will duel it out for a spot A tthat James is not taking lightly. “Both CT and Marquis have worked hard and we’re going to need a third h point guard to give us some added p depth,” James said. “I expect both of d tthem to contribute when they are called upon.” u On the wings, the Skyhawks appear tto have a good amount of experience aand size to keep the opponents’ defense on their toes at all times. Junior Reuben Clayton took advantage of teams cheating towards Hudson and Weddle last season and emerged as one of the team’s top slashers. His potential was put on display in back-to-back conference road games last season, when he combined to go 15-for-20 from the floor to score 18 and 20 points, respectively against Austin Peay and Tennessee State. Also returning is junior Benzor Simmons, whose ability to drive the ball to the rim also was evident last season. The Miami native cracked doublefigures in the scoring column eight times in 2008-09, and attempted the third-highest amount of free throws on the team last season despite averaging only 17.6 minutes per outing. “At the wing we are very deep,” James said. “Ookie had a good season last year and he paid the price in the gym this offseason. Benzor has done the same thing - he has conditioned his body and trained hard as well. Both of those guys have honed their games to

2009-10 SEASON OUTLOOK

Marquis Weddle will look to make an impact once he returns for his junior season in the spring semester. get ready for big seasons.” A pair of freshmen will battle for playing time as well from the shooting guard/small forward position in Terrance Coleman and Zach Jones. Coleman enters the season with an impressive amount of prep accolades, as he led his Northridge High School team to its first-ever regional title last season. In Jones, the Skyhawks look to be getting a swingman whose competition at Craigmont High School in Memphis can only help him prepare for collegiate competition. “Zach and Terrance are both coming on strong,” James said. “They are young but they are athletic and talented and they are buying in to what we are selling. I expect both of them to play a lot as the season goes on.” Heading into the regular season, the fifth starting slot is up in the air between veterans Daron Hood, Andres Irarrazabal, Dominique Mpondo and newcomer Ron Spencer. A redshirt junior, Hood has battled injuries during his time at UT Martin but appears fully healthy for the first time in two-plus years. Hood played sparingly in 2008-09 and is expected to

have a more consistent season. h Irarrazabal also saw his minutes drop llast season, but did show several signs of turning the page, including one start, o iin 2008-09. Irarrazabal scored eight points, grabbed three rebounds and p sswatted three shots in only 11 minutes of action against Elon on Nov. 22, and o sshot just over 60 percent from the field ((14-for-23) last season. The tallest player on the team, Mpondo also showed breakout signs on M tthe defensive end in 2008-09, snatching ffour defensive rebounds and two blocks against Tennessee on Nov. 18 b aand pulling down seven boards in only 115 minutes on Feb. 21 against Missouri State. S That trio will also be challenged by the 6-foot-9 freshman Spencer, who averaged a double-double while leading Nia Prep (NJ) to a national ranking last season. “We are expecting a lot of production from our post players,” James said. “Those three guys have game experience in the past - but maybe not as much as they need. I’m confident Andres and Daron will contribute and Dominique has slimmed down and he is learning the right pace he needs to play at to be consistent.” “With that said, Ron has a chance to be a really good player in this league and we’re excited about what he brings to the table as well.” The potential wild-card in the whole mix is junior shooting guard Marquis Weddle, who is academically ineligible for the fall term. An obvious differencemaker with his ability to stretch out opposing defenses with his outside long-range stroke, Weddle will have to earn his spot once he is eligible to return to action. “We suffered a big loss with Marquis not being eligible for this first semester,” James said. “But we told our guys you have to get it done in the classroom to be able to play. Marquis’ grades are improving and we still expect great

things from him this year.” The schedule looms as a steep challenge to the Skyhawks, but James feels games against traditional powers like Southern Illinois, Missouri and Florida State will give him a good chance to evaluate his squad heading into conference play. Road matchups at Arkansas State, Evansville and Misouri State are also featured, as well as home dates with Central Arkansas, Harris-Stowe, Westminster, and future OVC member SIU Edwardsville late in the season. “We’re very excited about our nonconference schedule,” James said. “We are not facing a shortage of good basketball teams I can tell you that. It will be important to see where we are and where we need to go to improve every day. I feel our schedule will do that for us.” The OVC is looking as deep and talented as ever in 2009-10, a trend that has not gone unnoticed to James, who has gotten plenty of chances to scout the league during his seven seasons as an assistant coach at UT Martin. “We wanted our non-conference schedule to prepare us for the tough games we will face in the OVC,” James said. “We know we will be up against the best the league has to offer and we will do our best to try and survive.”

COACHING STAFF

JASON JAMES Head Coach • First Season Graceland, 2000 After spending the last seven seasons as an assistant coach at The University of Tennessee a Martin, including the role of associate head coach during the 2008-09 Ohio Valley at Conference championship season, Jason James was named the program’s eighth head C ccoach on June 5, 2009. James, a native of St. Louis, Mo., is the nation’s second-youngest NCAA Division-I men’s basketball head coach, but his experience in the UT Martin program has James rearing and b rready to go. “This h “Thi has always l b been my goal, ever since I was 10,” the 32-year-old James said. “My dad introduced me to basketball and he always coached me and my brothers. He had such a joy in coaching that he made me want to coach and influence young men just like he did.” James came to UT Martin from Forest Park Community College in St. Louis, Mo., where he was an assistant men’s basketball coach for two years. The team finished second in the region James’ first year, and many FPCC players during James’ tenure went on to play Division I and Division II basketball. Before his stint at Forest Park, James taught physical education and health for one year at Ritenour Middle School in St. Louis, while also coaching a high school all-star team from the state of Michigan that placed third out of 54 teams at the USA Junior Nationals. Over his tenure at UT Martin as an assistant coach, James was directly responsible in the recent resurgance of the Skyhawk program over the last several seasons. Since his first season on the Skyhawk bench in 2002, James recruited two of UT Martin’s all-time great Division-I players in Jared Newson and Lester Hudson. Newson ranks fourth in all-time program history in points scored after playing just three seasons with the Skyhawks. Newson ranks in the top-10 in seven different all-time career UT Martin categories, including points (1,347, fourth), field goals made (452, fifth), field goals attempted (1,016, fifth), free throws made (378, second), free throws attempted (526, first), rebounds (535, seventh), blocks (43, 10th) and steals (128, seventh). After he exhausted his eligibility at UT Martin, Newson attended training camp with the Dallas Mavericks before becoming an overseas fan favorite for his acrobatic slam-dunks in Germany. In Hudson, James found a diamond in the rough that became one of the best all-around players in the NCAA and eventually would be chosen by the Boston Celtics in the second round of the NBA Draft. In Hudson’s collegiate debut, he torched eventual national runnerup Memphis for 35 points, but the legend of Hudson was just getting started. Just eight days later, Hudson grabbed national headlines when he became the first-ever NCAA Division-I men’s basketball player to record a quadruple-double (25 points, 12 rebounds, 10 assists, 10

steals) vs. Central Baptist on Nov. 13, 2007. Later that season, Hudson became the first-ever UT Martin player to be named an All-American since the program joined the Division-I ranks in 1992. That season, James helped guide the Skyhawks to a school-record for OVC wins in one season (11), as UT Martin finished above .500 in conference play for the first time in program history. The Skyhawks also hosted and won a firstround OVC Tournament game for the first time in UT Martin history, before falling to eventual-tournament champion Austin Peay by a single point (78-77). With Hudson at the helm, the Skyhawks received national attention from preseason publications to win the OVC, a feat which had never been done before. The Skyhawks lived up to the hype, breaking or tying 12 team or individual game/season records, including most wins in a single season (22), and longest winning streak (11 games from Jan. 10 through Feb. 18). After winning its first-ever outright OVC regular-season championship, the Skyhawks earned a trip to the National Invitation Tournament (NIT), the first postseason appearance for a UT Martin team in its brief Division-I history. In that game, the Skyhawks hung tough with SEC member Auburn

on Auburn’s home floor before falling 87-82. This season, James will look to keep much of the playing style the same as it was last season, when the Skyhawks ranked 13th in all of the NCAA in points per game (78.8), while also emphasizing defense and hustle. “I like a fast tempo and I like to score a lot of points, but my dad always taught me that it was playing defense and rebounding that made a difference,” James said. Off the court, James is an intense scholar of the game. He spends countless hours watching tape, studying other coaches and reading. Most recently James read Louisville head coach Rick Pitino’s book, “Rebound Rules: The Art of Success 2.0.” He also currently read former Notre Dame coach and current ESPN analyst Digger Phelps’ book “Undertaker’s Son: Life Lessons From a Coach”, but he claims Adrian Wojnarowski’s “The Miracle of St. Anthony” is the best basketball book he has ever read. In fact, James has instilled legendary coach Bob Hurley’s philosophy in the Skyhawks: “It’s not about winning and losing, it is about your performance. If you perform to the best of your ability, winning will take care of itself.” James earned his bachelor’s degree in physical education and health with a coaching endorsement from Graceland University in Lamoni, Iowa in 2000. For two seasons he served as captain of the Graceland University basketball team. He was voted Graceland Freshman Basketball Player of the Year for the 1996-97 season and was named First-year head coach Jason James was featured on the front page of ESPN.com’s Men’s College Basketball section in July. the team’s MVP during the 1999-2000 season.

2008-09 OVC Champions


2008-09 SEASON RECAP SKYHAWKS SET SCHOOL RECORD FOR WINS AND NET FIRST POSTSEASON APPEARANCE IN HISTORICAL SEASON The most highly anticipated season in The University of Tennessee at Martin men’s basketball history didn’t begin quite as planned. The Skyhawks, who had been picked as the preseason No. 2 team in the Ohio Valley Conference – the highest they had ever been selected – found themselves sitting at 2-5 overall and 0-2 in the OVC after their fourth straight loss at Eastern Kentucky on Dec. 6. The schedule wasn’t going to get any easier, as four of the next five games were on the road against two teams from the Sun Belt Conference, and one each from the Atlantic 10 and Southland Conferences. But amidst the 2-5 start, there was one thing head coach Bret Campbell was looking forward to – fielding a full rotation of players. Junior point guard Delrico Lane had played sparingly in the first six games before getting one start under his belt against Eastern Kentucky and finally appeared healthy from an offseason stress fracture surgery. Also due

Marquis Weddle became the school’s 14th member of the 1,000 point club with a 3-pointer at Auburn in the NIT.

to join the mix was senior power forward Olajide Hay, who had to sit out the first seven games because he was academically ineligible. Throw in those two players with Preseason All-American Lester Hudson and Preseason All-OVC honoree Marquis Weddle, and Campbell thought the Skyhawks would look like a different team. The first test with the “new look” Skyhawks came on the road in a historically-tough matchup with Middle Tennessee State, who was fresh off a Sun Belt Conference Championship appearance in 2007-2008. UT Martin came out hot early – shooting 60 percent in the first half – and never looked back, leading for all but 3:10 of clock time in a 72-65 win. After that game, the Skyhawks knew that if they played like that, few teams could beat them. For the rest of the season, that was just the case. UT Martin took care of business to close out the 2008 calendar year, earning yet another road victory at Central Arkansas on New Year’s Eve behind a 41 point effort by Hudson. b Entering 2009 with a 7-5 overall record, E the t Skyhawks were about to face the bulk of o their conference slate – with the first three OVC games coming at home in a t one-week span against the preseason No. o 1, No. 3, and No. 5 teams, in that order. UT Martin downed the preseason No. 1 team M in i arch-rival Murray State, 75-71. Three days later, the Skyhawks suffered a defensive letdown in an 85-76 loss against Austin Peay, but little did anybody a know that the agonizing feeling of a loss k wouldn’t be felt by any member of the UT w Martin squad for another 44 days. M What UT Martin did over the next 11 games had only been done two other times g in i the program’s history – which was win w every single contest. The Skyhawks’ 11-game winning streak – all over OVC opponents by an average scoring margin of +15.1 points per game –

Lester Hudson ended his outstanding two-year career ranking in the top-ten of 10 all-time UT Martin categories. put the Skyhawks square in the middle of the OVC title hunt, culminating with the last win of the streak, a 76-60 road win at Eastern Illinois on Feb. 18. That win put the Skyhawks in first place in the OVC for the first time all season, as the Skyhawks had dug out of an early 0-2 OVC start to build up a 12-3 conference record. The Skyhawks streak ended just three days later in the ESPN BracketBusters game, as a 10-foot floater at the buzzer resulted in a 79-77 loss to Missouri State of the Missouri Valley Conference. Perhaps still feeling the effects of a heartbreaking loss, the Skyhawks then lost at Murray State just two days later, 74-59, evening up the conference race with Morehead State heading into the final week of the regular season. A convincing 74-55 win over Eastern Kentucky on Feb. 26 coupled with a Morehead State loss at Murray State gave the Skyhawks at least a share of the regular season OVC championship. UT Martin then had to face the very team that

The Skyhawks knew that their With his 33-point effort, Hudson also season wasn’t yet over, as the regular season title guaranteed a spot pushed his season point total to 880 points, breaking the all-time Ohio Valley in the National Invitational Tournament. At the NIT, the Skyhawks drew the Conference mark for most points in one Auburn Tigers, an SEC member. The season, set by Western Kentucky’s Jim Skyhawks hung tough with the Tigers for McDaniels in the 1970-71 season. Sophomore guard Marquis Weddle also the full 40 minutes before falling by an 87-82 tally. Hudson ended his stellar two- joined an elite group of UT Martin players year UT Martin career with a 33 point, 12 in the Auburn game, scoring his 1,000th rebound and seven assist effort against the point of his career early in the second half, Tigers. Hudson finished just two points becoming just the 14th member to accrue shy of breaking the all-time UT Martin that many points in his career after only 65 scoring mark held by Mike Meschede career games. On the eve of the semifinal matchup (1984-88). against Morehead State, the OVC named Hudson their Player of the Year for the second consecutive season. The 6-2 guard became just the 11th player in the history of the OVC to repeat as back-toh back Player of the Year, and the first since b Murray State’s Marcus Brown did it in M 1994-95 and 1995-96 seasons. Hudson finished the regular season with a 27.3 point per game average, trailing only p Davidson’s Stephen Curry for the NCAA D Division-I scoring title, as he also was the D only NCAA Division-I player to score at least 20 points or more in every game through the season’s first 26 games. Hudson wasn’t the only UT Martin member honored, as Lane was one of m five players to be named to the All-OVC Newcomer squad, and Campbell also was The Skyhawk players, coaching staff, and fans huddled around to learn its tabbed as OVC Coach of the Year.

sat atop the OVC standings since Dec. 4, 2008 in Morehead State at home on Feb. 28 to close out the season. Just as UT Martin had done numerous times throughout the season, the Skyhawks built up an early lead and kept the pressure at a premium, leading for the last 34:51 of the game in a 79-65 triumph that gave Campbell and the Skyhawks their first-ever outright OVC championship since they joined the league in time for the 1992-1993 season. Entering the OVC Tournament as the No. 1 seed, UT Martin got a performance for the ages from Hudson in his last game on the Elam Center floor. The senior from Memphis tallied a career-high 42 points on 15-of-24 shooting (8-of-13 from threepoint range) in a 93-75 win over Tennessee Tech. The 42 points was just two shy of the all-time UT Martin single game record of 44, set by Okechi Egbe against Bethel on Nov. 20, 2000, and just one shy of the all-time single game record for an OVC Tournament game, set by Austin Peay’s Bubba Wells against Morehead State in 1997. The Skyhawks entered the Sommet Center in Nashville for the OVC Tournament quarterfinals against Morehead State confident, as they had won 20 out of their last 23 games, including a 14 point drubbing of the same Morehead State team just six days earlier.

2008-09 GAME-BY-GAME RECAPS UT Martin 121 • Maryville (St. Louis) 56 Nov. 14, 2008 • Martin, Tenn. • Kathleen and Tom Elam Center MARTIN, Tenn. - More than 4,000 screaming students from area primary, elementary, middle and high schools helped lead The University of Tennessee at Martin men’s basketball team to a 121-56 victory over visiting Maryville University from St. Louis Friday morning in the Kathleen and Tom Elam Center. The Skyhawks showed up with a cast of characters which included sophomore Marquis Weddle and senior Lester Hudson. Hudson, one of 50 preseason nominees in the nation for the prestigious John Wooden Award, led all scorers with 27 points, eight steals, seven rebounds and seven assists. Hudson only played 27 minutes in the game. Weddle, last year’s Ohio Valley Conference Freshman of the Year, tossed in 26 points and a half dozen 3-pointers. Sophomore Benzor Simmons came off the bench to score 16 points, while true freshman MJ Brown dropped in 12 points and Eric Massey added 10 points. The Skyhawks enjoyed a 59-20 advantage at the half. The lead at the break was triggered by a 21-2 run to open the game. In the second half, the Skyhawks opened with a 12-2 spurt and enjoyed a 50-point lead with 16:50 to go. Hudson and others played sparingly in the second half, and Maryville was able to score some from the perimeter. Kyle Winters led the visiting Saints with 15 points. With the victory the Skyhawks are now 16-1 in home openers since joining Division I in 1992. The team is 9-1 in home openers under Campbell, who started in 1999. UT Martin 64 • Tennessee 91 Nov. 18, 2008 • Knoxville, Tenn. • Thompson Boling Arena KNOXVILLE, Tenn. - Bret Campbell, the head men’s basketball coach at The University of Tennessee at Martin, called Tuesday night’s game at Tennessee “A Tale of Two Halves.” Some might say that is nothing but a cliché, but the truth of the matter is Campbell was right on the money with his observation. The host Volunteers (2-0) opened the game with a 29-9 run and led 57-31 at halftime. The Vols, ranked 14th in the nation, cruised to a 91-64 victory over the Skyhawks (1-1). The tenacious Tennessee defense forced 15 UT Martin turnovers in the first half and kept preseason All-American Lester Hudson in check. The Skyhawk senior was 1-for-7 from the field and scored two points in the first half. The second half was different. Tennessee out-scored the Skyhawks by a point, 34-33. Hudson scored 18 second-half points and knocked down three 3-pointers to finish the game with 20 points. Sophomore Marquis Weddle drained five 3-pointers and tallied 17 points. Brian Williams came off the bench and led the Vols with 21 points, while Tyler Smith tossed in 19 points. Wayne Chism and J.P. Prince scored 11 points each, while Cameron Tatum netted 10 points. The Vols dominated the boards, out-rebounding the Skyhawks 58-41. Williams led the Vols with a dozen rebounds, while Chism grabbed 10 boards. Senior Djero Riedewald led the Skyhawks with 10 rebounds. The Skyhawks only committed three turnovers in the second half.

UT Martin 82 • Elon 65 Nov. 22, 2008 • Martin, Tenn. • Kathleen and Tom Elam Center MARTIN, Tenn. - Senior Djero Riedewald grabbed a career high 15 rebounds and scored 12 points to lead The University of Tennessee at Martin to a 82-65 men’s basketball victory over visiting Elon University Saturday night in the Kathleen and Tom Elam Center. After three games, Riedewald leads the Skyhawks in rebounding. He opened the season with six rebounds in 17 minutes against Maryville University. Against No. 14 Tennessee, he struggled offensively against the bigger Vols, but he grabbed 10 rebounds in a disappointing setback. With 15 boards against Elon, Riedewald will enter the week against Arkansas State and Southern Cal averaging 10.3 rebounds per game. While Riedewald has been cleaning the boards, senior Lester Hudson has been showing off his inside prowess. Hudson was 11-for-21 from the field against Elon with 29 points. He was a disappointing 1-for-7 from 3-point range. Hudson netted 20 points against the Vols, but struggled from behind the arc where he was 3-for-14. In the season opener the Memphis native was 4-for-8 from 3-point range but scored 27 points. Hudson is averaging 25.3 points per game. Hudson acknowledged his struggle from the perimeter against Elon, but said it wasn’t a concern. The Skyhawks jumped out to a 37-20 lead at halftime against Elon. Hudson scored nine points in the first half, while Riedewald had nine first-half rebounds. The Skyhawks were 0-for-9 from 3-point range in the second half and 3-for-18 (16.7 percent) from behind the arc in the game.

2008-09 GAME-BY-GAME RECAPS UT Martin 67 • Arkansas State 76 Nov. 25, 2008 • Martin, Tenn. • Kathleen and Tom Elam Center MARTIN, Tenn. - For the second time in seven days, The University of Tennessee at Martin men’s basketball team dug itself in a deep hole. And for the second time in seven days, the Skyhawks staged a second-half comeback to no avail. Visiting Arkansas State ended the Skyhawks’ six-game home winning streak Tuesday night by stifling sharpshooters Marquis Weddle and Lester Hudson. The backcourt tandem was limited to 15 total points in the first half and a frustrating 3-for-11 effort from behind the arch. Arkansas State (3-1) posted a 76-67 victory over the Skyhawks Tuesday night in the Kathleen and Tom Elam Center. The Red Wolves opened the game with a 25-7 lead, while the Skyhawks made a run with 5:12 to play in the first half as Weddle made a layup to cut the deficit to 19 points. The 11-2 run was capped off by Benzor Simmons who drained a jumper with 1:03 to play in the half. The Skyhawks shot 36 percent from the field and 37.5 percent from 3-point range. Hudson and Weddle were a combined 10-for-27 from behind the arch. However Hudson led all scorers with 23 points and Weddle tossed in 22 points to account for 45 of the Skyhawks’ 67 points. The Skyhawks cut the lead to eight points three times in the last two minutes of the game, but that was as close as they could get. Arkansas State, under the direction of new head coach John Brady, was led by Mike Lance and Ifeanyi Koggu with 13 points each.

LOS ANGELES, Calif. - The University of Tennessee at Martin senior guard Lester Hudson led all scorers tonight with 20 points, but two crucial first half runs by the University of Southern California Trojans and another off-night shooting the ball for the Skyhawks ended in a 70-43 loss at the Galen Center. Although the Skyhawks were only outscored 30-26 in the second half, UT Martin shot 29 percent from the floor (18-for62), and 23 percent from behind the three-point arc (6-for-26) for the game. Eric Massey finished with six points and eight rebounds, while Benzor Simmons also finished the night with six points. Djero Riedewald (four points), Marquis Weddle (three), MJ Brown (two) and Andres Irarrazabal (two) completed the scoring for UT Martin. For USC, Taj Gibson led the way, finishing the night with 15 points and eight rebounds, while Dwight Lewis and DeMar DeRozan also finished in double-figures with 13 and 12 points, respectively. A Brown jumper was the first Skyhawks field goal of the night at the 17:26 mark of the first half, making the score 4-3 in USC’s favor. After two free throws and a made jumper by DeRozan, Simmons nailed a three-pointer from the right wing to cut the USC lead to 8-6. After a made jumper from Lewis, Hudson answered right back with a layup at the 14:19 mark, cutting the deficit to two once again for the Skyhawks. USC then went on a 15-2 run over the next 5:58, before a layup by Massey at the 8:21 mark made the score 25-12 in the Trojans’ favor. Another big run was brewing for the Trojans, as they scored 13 unanswered points to pad their lead out to 26 before a layup by Hudson at the 2:50 mark ended the drought for the Skyhawks and made the score 38-14. Donte Smith made two free throws for the Trojans, and Hudson hit a three-pointer with 10 seconds left to end the scoring for the first half, with USC leading 40-17 at the break. A Simmons jumper with 17:11 left in the second half cut the deficit to 19 at 42-23, but USC gradually began making shots and Lewis’ third three-pointer of the second half extended the Trojan lead to 60-30 with 6:31 left in the game. UT Martin immediately came back with a 10-2 run over the next 4:13, with a tip-in by Massey, three-pointers from Weddle and Hudson, and a layup by Irarrazabal to make the score 62-40 with 2:18 left. An 8-0 USC run that was ended by a Hudson three-pointer from the left wing ended the scoring for the night and ended in a 70-43 final score.

UT Martin 71 • Morehead State 80 Dec. 4, 2008 • Morehead, Ky. • Ellis T. Johnson Arena MOREHEAD, Ky. - Three Morehead State players combined to go five-for-six from the free throw line in the last two minutes, and The University of Tennessee at Martin offense was held scoreless for the last 2:36 that resulted in a tough 80-71 loss tonight at Ellis T. Johnson Arena. Senior guard Lester Hudson led all scorers with 24 points and grabbed a team-high 10 rebounds to lead UT Martin, who also placed Marquis Weddle and Benzor Simmons in double figures with 13 and 12 points, respectively. Simmons also grabbed a career-high eight rebounds and Eric Massey contributed with seven points and seven rebounds for the Skyhawks, who fall to 2-4 on the season. Djero Riedewald (five points), Delrico Lane (four), Reuben Clayton (four) and Andres Irarrazabal (two) completed the scoring for the Skyhawks, who shot 37 percent from the floor for the game, and 21 percent from beyond three-point range. Both teams shot 28 free throws and committed 17 turnovers, and the latter was a cause for concern for UT Martin head coach Bret Campbell. Morehead State had four players reach double figures, led by Demonte Harper’s 22 points. Leon Buchanan finished the night with 16 points and eight rebounds, while Maze Stallworth scored 13 points. Kenneth Faried posted a double-double, scoring 10 points and grabbing 13 rebounds for the Eagles. Morehead State came out hot to begin the second half, hitting two three-pointers and a mid-range jumper on three of their first four possessions. Hudson answered with a four-point play to cut the Eagle lead to two with 17:24 left. After the Eagles hit four consecutive free throws, the teams swapped baskets until Hudson scored again off a steal to make the score 47-45 in Morehead State’s favor. Morehead State then went on a 9-2 run in 2:57, topped off by an alley-oop slam dunk by Hill that caused Campbell to call a timeout with 13:02 left. A pair of Simmons free throws extended the Skyhawk lead to three at 57-54 with 5:32 left, but a 6-0 run by the Eagles led to a timeout by Campbell at the 4:09 mark. Lane grabbed an offensive rebound for a put-back just 13 seconds later, cutting the Morehead State lead to 70-69. Coming out of the media timeout, Harper hit one of two free throws for Morehead State to push their lead to 71-69. Buchanan then hit two free throws to make the score 73-69 with 2:46 left, but Massey answered that with a lay-up just 10 seconds later to cut the deficit back to two. Massey’s basket turned out to be the last points for UT Martin, as Faried, Harper, and Stallworth combined to hit five out of six free throws down the stretch to give Morehead the 80-71 win.

MARTIN, Tenn. - With two seconds showing on the clock and the ball underneath their own basket for the inbounds play, senior Lester Hudson had a 3-point attempt in the right corner of the court to tie the game at 75-all and force an overtime period. Hudson’s shot was off and junior Eric Massey grabbed the rebound as the horn sounded. The University of Tennessee at Martin suffered a heart-breaking 78-75 setback to host Eastern Kentucky (5-3, 1-1 OVC) Saturday night in McBrayer Arena. With the loss the Skyhawks fall to 0-2 in the Ohio Valley Conference standings and 2-5 overall. The Skyhawks, led by Hudson’s 22 points and seven rebounds, trailed 75-68 with 2:29 remaining in the game. Eric Massey made a layup with 1:42 to play and the Skyhawks made it a five-point game. Massey was fouled on the layup and made the bonus to make it a four-point game. The Skyhawks managed to get a stop, but Hudson was fouled on a 3-point attempt. He missed the first of the three free throws, but made the second two to make it a two-point game, 75-73, with 27 seconds to play. The Skyhawks were forced to foul and Eastern Kentucky’s Mike Rose made 3-of-4 free throws in the to stretch the Colonels’ lead to five points, 78-73 with 10 seconds remaining. Sophomore Benzor Simmons made it a two-point game with a tip-in with five seconds to play. He was fouled on the play, but the free throw attempt was negated because of a double-lane violation. The Skyhawks were given possession of the ball as a result of the possession arrow to set up the inbounds pass. Rose led all scorers with 24 points and 11 rebounds. He was one of four EKU players to net double-digit points. Rose was 5-of-9 from 3-point range and as a team EKU connected on 14-of-31 3-pointers. The Colonels shot 45 percent from behind the arch in the game, while UT Martin hit 26 percent (5-of-19) of its 3-point attempts. EKU also edged the Skyhawks at the free throw line by hitting 10-of-12 for 83 percent. The Skyhawks shot 67 percent from the charity stripe, making 14-of-21 attempts. Hudson, who entered the game as the nation’s leading free throw shooter (19-for-19), was 4-for-7 from the free throw line against EKU. While Hudson led the Skyhawks in scoring, sophomore Marquis Weddle tossed in 16 points, 13 in the first half, and Simmons finished the game with 11 points.

UT Martin 72 • Middle Tennessee 65 Dec. 15, 2008 • Murfreesboro, Tenn. • Murphy Center MURFREESBORO, Tenn. - The University of Tennessee at Martin men’s basketball team entered tonight’s game shooting 38 percent from the floor against Division-I opponents. By taking better shots, the Skyhawks left the Murphy Center with a 52.1 shooting percentage and their biggest win to date of the 2008-2009 season, a 72-65 decision against Sun Belt Conference member and in-state rival Middle Tennessee State. With the win, the Skyhawks (3-5) ended a four-game slide and defeated a Middle Tennessee squad who only lost to Tennessee by ten points and only lost to Vanderbilt by eight points earlier this season. Senior guard Lester Hudson extended his own streak of scoring more than 20 points in every game so far this season, with a game-high 28 points on 10-of-15 shooting. Hudson remains as the only statistically ranked NCAA Division-I men’s basketball player to score at least 20 points in every game they had played. The Skyhawks received eight points from Marquis Weddle, and also got seven points apiece from Benzor Simmons, Delrico Lane, and Djero Riedewald. Olajide Hay, appearing in his first game of the season, added six points, six rebounds, and two steals in 29 minutes, as UT Martin also got contributions from Reuben Clayton (five points), Eric Massey (two points), and MJ Brown (two points). Lane also made a major impact on the game with a game-high six assists and four steals, also a game-high. Middle Tennessee was led by the Sun Belt Conference Preseason Player of the Year in Desmond Yates, who scored 21 points on 9-of-14 shooting. Kevin Kanaskie added 16 points and four assists, and Demetrius Green scored 11 points to lead the Blue Raiders, who fall to 4-4. For the first half, the Skyhawks shot a scorching 60 percent from the field (15-for-25), a season-high against a Division-I opponent. UT Martin’s 40 points scored in the first half were also a season-high against a Division-I opponent, as Hudson led all scorers with 14 first half points. The Blue Raiders came out of the locker room hot to begin the first half, as Kanaskie scored the first seven points of the second half to make the score 40-36 in UT Martin’s favor, causing Campbell to call a timeout at the 18:31 mark. The Skyhawks didn’t panic, however, going on an 8-0 run over the next 3:10, a stretch that included a powerful one-handed slam by Hudson off a fast break that caused Davis to call his first time out of the second half with 8:57 left. After a UT Martin defensive stand, Hay got a reverse lay-up to go from underneath the basket to extend the Skyhawk lead to 54-47 at the 8:01 mark. After a Haddock jumper, Hudson answered with a deep, high-arching trey over Yates to make the Skyhawk lead 67-60 with 2:21 left. It would be the last field goal the Skyhawks would make, but that’s all they would need to win the game - as a pair of Hudson free throws with 16 seconds left sealed the Skyhawks win.

UT Martin 97 • Brescia 44 Dec. 18, 2008 • Martin, Tenn. • Kathleen and Tom Elam Center MARTIN, Tenn. - The University of Tennessee at Martin men’s basketball team (4-5) opened Thursday night’s game against visiting Brescia University (7-5) from Owensboro, Ky., with an 11-0 run and closed out the first half with a 14-2 run. The two runs were enough for the host Skyhawks to post a decisive 97-44 victory over the Bearcats. The victory was the second straight for the Skyhawks, and it featured a solid shooting effort and a tenacious defensive front for head coach Bret Campbell’s team. The Skyhawks used the two first-half runs and 13 first-half points from Lester Hudson en route to a 44-25 advantage at halftime. The Skyhawks shot 52 percent from the field and 41 percent from 3-point range. Freshman MJ Brown knocked down both of his first-half attempts from behind the arch, while Hudson was 2-for-4 from beyond the 3-point line. Against MTSU Monday night, the Skyhawks shot 52 percent from the field and held the Blue Raiders to 29 points in the first half. Hudson led all scorers with 21 points. While sophomore Benzor Simmons tossed in 14 points and sophomore Marquis Weddle added 13 points. Thirteen of 14 Skyhawks scored against Brescia. Newcomer Reuben Clayton led the team with seven assists, while Delrico Lane had five assists and four steals. The Skyhawks put together a 16-3 run early in the second half and cruised to victory. Brescia had 11 of 13 players score, but no one player scored more than seven points.

CONWAY, Ark. - On Nov. 15, 2007, Lester Hudson scored his second-lowest point output of the 2007-2008 season, scoring 13 points against Central Arkansas in a 78-75 buzzer-beating loss at home. Tonight, the 6’2” senior guard from Memphis perhaps got his vengeance on the Bears, scoring a career-high 41 points and grabbing 10 rebounds in an 84-65 Skyhawk victory at the Farris Center. The win was the Skyhawks’ fifth straight, as they improve to 7-5 on the season. The 41 points scored by Hudson came one game after his season-best 31 points against Fordham on Sunday, and the performance left Hudson just three points shy of breaking the UT Martin all-time single game scoring record set by Okechi Egbe (44 points) set against Bethel College on Nov. 20, 2000. Hudson converted on 14 of his 29 field goal attempts, including 5-of-10 from three-point range. Hudson also went 8-of-9 from the free throw line in the process of extending his own record of being the only statistically-ranked NCAA Division-I men’s basketball player to score at least 20 points in every game played this season. Olajide Hay scored nine points for the Skyhawks, and Reuben Clayton added eight to the Skyhawk attack. Delrico Lane had a statistical line of six points, six rebounds, and three assists, while MJ Brown chipped in with five points. Benzor Simmons had four points, and Andres Irarrazabal, Marquis Weddle, Ben Congiusta, Daron Hood, and Eric Massey each tallied two points. Djero Riedewald’s one point rounded out the scoring for UT Martin. Marcus Pillow led the Bears (6-5) with 22 points on 7-of-13 shooting (5-for-9 from three-point range). Chris Brown, Mitch Rueter, and Mike Pouncy all reached double figures by scoring 11 points apiece for Central Arkansas. Hudson had 19 points at the break, on 7-of-14 shooting, including 3-for-5 from three-point range. Hudson’s five rebounds also tied a game-high at the half. Central Arkansas got on the scoreboard just seven seconds into the second half, on a Mike Pouncy back-door lay-up, but the Skyhawks answered 39 seconds later. Lane converted on a fast break three-pointer on a feed from Weddle that gave UT Martin a 39-28 lead. The Bears would cut the lead to six when Pillow converted on a four-point play with 10:44 left, but a UT Martin 7-0 run over the next 1:20 made the score 62-49 before Central Arkansas head coach Rand Chappell called a timeout with 9:22 left in the game. UT Martin wouldn’t allow the Bears to get any closer than 11 points the rest of the way, as a Hudson pull-up 30-foot threepointer put the Skyhawks up 79-63 with 1:55 left. Congiusta hit a jumper from the left wing to give the Skyhawks their biggest lead of the game at 84-63 with 37 seconds left, and an Imad Qahwash lay-up at the buzzer ended the game with the Skyhawks getting the 84-65 victory.

MARTIN, Tenn. - Senior Lester Hudson made four free throws and junior Delrico Lane drove the lane for layup in the final 51 seconds of play to lead The University of Tennessee at Martin to a 75-71 Ohio Valley Conference victory over arch-rival Murray State Monday night in the Kathleen and Tom Elam Center. The victory was the Skyhawks sixth consecutive win. The Skyhawks are 8-5 overall and 1-2 in the OVC race, while Murray State falls to 6-7 on the year and 1-2 in the league standings. With 2:26 left in the game, Lane managed to take the ball away from Murray State’s Ivan Aska. Lane found Hudson with the basketball who fed Djero Riedewald the ball for an easy 10-foot jumper in the lane. The bucket, with 2:09 to play, gave the Skyhawks a 69-66 advantage. Murray State made it a one-point game, 69-68, when Tyler Holloway knocked down two free throws with 1:26 to go. Lane answered the free throws - this time with his ability to drive the lane much like a New York cab driver navigating traffic in rush hour - with a layup. The basket gave the Skyhawks a 71-68 lead with 51 seconds to play. Hudson was fouled by Isacc Miles with 14 seconds left and Hudson made both free throws to give the Skyhawks a 73-68 lead. Miles added a 3-pointer with three seconds on the clock, but Kevin Thomas fouled Hudson with one second left on the clock and Hudson canned both freebies to give the Skyhawks the 75-71 victory. Hudson led all scorers with 28 points, while Olajide Hay tossed in 16 points and Marquis Weddle added 15 points. Lane finished the game with three points, four assists and the one steal. Murray State’s effort was led by Kevin Thomas with 21 points and Miles with 18 points. The Racers won the rebounding battle, edging the Skyhawks 38-37 on the glass. Aska led the Racers with nine rebounds. Hudson and Hay led the Skyhawks rebounding charge with seven boards each. The difference in the game for the Skyhawks was a healthy (Olajide) Hay and (Delrico) Lane. Both players suffered injuries before the season and were finally at 100 percent as the semester came to an end. Hudson’s ability to score and get to the free throw line also helps out. Hudson scored 17 of his 28 points in the first half and was 10-of-19 from the field. He also hit 6-of-7 from the free throw line. Hudson entered the game shooting 90.2 percent from the line and was ranked 10th in the nation. The Skyhawks hit 17-of-22 free throws for 77.3 percent against the Racers. Ironically, the Racers, who entered the game ranked 15th in the nation in free throw shooting percentage (76.1 percent), hit 10-of-20 from the line for 50 percent. The Skyhawks entered the game ranked 58th in the nation (72.6 percent).

UT Martin 76 • Austin Peay 85 Jan. 8, 2009 • Martin, Tenn. • Kathleen and Tom Elam Center MARTIN, Tenn. - Junior Delrico Lane flirted with a triple-double while senior Lester Hudson scored 34 points and grabbed nine rebounds, but the tandem’s effort was not enough for The University of Tennessee at Martin to extinguish visiting Austin Peay’s red-hot start. The Govs (87, 4-1 OVC) ended the Skyhawks (8-6, 1-3 OVC) winning streak at six games Thursday night with an 85-76 Ohio Valley Conference victory. Austin Peay jumped out to a 46-30 halftime lead by shooting 58.6 percent from the field and knocking down 9-of-13 3-pointers in the first 20 minutes of play. Wes Channels led the Govs with 13-first-half points. The Skyhawks tied the game at 24-all in the first half when Reuben Clayton made a free throw with 9:23 on the clock. Austin Peay closed out the half with a 22-6 run. The Govs stretched their 16-point halftime lead to 29 points, 64-35 with 10:52 to play in the game. However, the Skyhawks outscored the Govs 21-6 in the final three minutes of the game. For Hudson the 34 points marked the third time in the last four games that he has scored 31 points or more. Lane scored 10 points and had nine rebounds and eight assists. Olajide Hay and Clayton added nine points each. Channels led Austin Peay with 23 points, while Drake Reed scored 17 points and Caleb Brown added 13 points.

MARTIN, Tenn. - Sophomore Marquis Weddle busted out of his shooting slump and senior Lester Hudson scored 30 points for the fourth time in five games to lead The University of Tennessee at Martin (9-6, 2-3 OVC) to a 78-65 Ohio Valley Conference victory over visiting Tennessee State (5-11, 3-3 OVC) Saturday night in the Elam Center. Weddle, who went scoreless for the first time in his collegiate career (46 games) Thursday night against Austin Peay, scored 23 second-half points. He hit 7-of-8 3-pointers in the final 20 minutes of the game. Weddle knocked down his first 3-pointer with 19:15 to play in the game. He missed his second attempt from behind the arch, but hit back-to-back 3-pointers to give the Skyhawks a 39-32 advantage with 16:05 to play. The Skyhawks and Tigers battled throughout the first half. The game was tied three times and the lead changed six times in the first 20 minutes. The Tigers grabbed a 27-26 halftime lead when Parker Smith hit a jumper in the paint with seven seconds left on the clock. UT Martin outscored Tennessee State 52-38 in the second half. Hudson scored 30 points and had 10 rebounds to record his third double-double of the season. Hudson also came close to his second career quadruple double. He added eight steals and seven assists to his stat line. Tennessee State’s effort was paced by Gerald Robinson Jr. who netted 14 points and Darius Cox who netted 10 points and grabbed 13 rebounds. While Hudson and Weddle had no trouble igniting the offensive fireworks for the Skyhawks, Campbell said his team’s defense was outstanding. In nine wins this season the Skyhawks are limiting opponents to 64 points per game, while scoring 85.3 points. The Skyhawks are also forcing teams to commit 19.4 turnovers per game. Campbell said it was nice to get back in the win column after seeing his team’s six-game winning streak come to an end Thursday night against visiting Austin Peay.

CAPE GIRARDEAU, Mo. - Senior guard Lester Hudson scored 22 of his game-high 38 points in the second half, including 16 in one crucial four-minute stretch, as The University of Tennessee at Martin scored an 81-67 road win at the Show Me Center tonight to improve to 10-6 (3-3 Ohio Valley Conference) on the 2008-2009 season. Hudson finished the night going 14-for-27 from the field (4-of-10 from three-point range), and Djero Riedewald scored 11 points to pace UT Martin to their third win in the last four chances in Cape Girardeau. Delrico Lane had another great all-around night, scoring seven points, grabbing a team-high eight rebounds, and handing out five assists, as every UT Martin player who saw the court scored at least one field goal. SEMO was led by Kenard Moore, who scored 21 points. Johnny Hill and Jaycen Herring each netted 15 points apiece for the Redhawks, who stayed in the game until the final minutes by shooting 52 percent (17-for-33) in the second half. After both teams traded the first four points of the game, Hudson got the Skyhawks started with crossover dribble to create an open three-pointer that began a 10-0 run that lasted a total of 3:17. UT Martin would lead by as many as 16 in the first half, after a pair of Olajide Hay free throws at the 5:24 mark put the Skyhawks up 34-18. The Skyhawks would match the margin of 16 just 44 seconds later when Eric Massey (eight points) made a spinning left-handed hook shot in the lane to make the score 36-20 in UT Martin’s favor. Moore converted on a deep three-pointer to cut the Skyhawk lead to 38-27 with 1:52 left in the first half, but a Marquis Weddle eight-foot bank shot jumper off four consecutive offensive rebounds gave UT Martin the 40-27 lead they would take into halftime. At the break, Hudson led all scorers with 16 points on 7-of-11 shooting, his sixth consecutive double-digit scoring effort in the first half. The Skyhawks hit the 40-point mark in the first half for the fourth time this season by shooting an even 50 percent (16-for-32) from the field. The Skyhawks matched their biggest first half lead on their first possession of the second half, as Lane buried a deep trey in front of the UT Martin bench to put the Skyhawks on top 43-27 just 30 seconds into the half. After SEMO cut the lead to 13 at the 18:49 mark, Hudson scored the next 16 points for the Skyhawks, hitting three treys, two lay-ups, and converting on 3-of-3 free throws in a span of 4:12 to put UT Martin on top by 18 at 60-42 with 14:17 left in the game. UT Martin would push their lead out to 18 three more times as late as 10:54 in the second half, but the Redhawks wouldn’t quit. A 7-0 Redhawk run in 2:19 was capped off by a Herring three-pointer that made the score 76-66 with 1:37 left, but UT Martin made 5-of-6 free throws from that point on to seal the 81-67 victory.

UT Martin 83 • Tennessee Tech 72 Jan 15, 2009 • Cookeville, Tenn. • Eblen Center COOKEVILLE, Tenn. - Lester Hudson gave a national television audience quite a show tonight by almost collecting a triple-double, and Olajide Hay set a new career-high in scoring en route to The University of Tennessee at Martin’s second straight victory at the Eblen Center, a 83-72 decision over the Tennessee Tech Golden Eagles. The Skyhawks (11-6, 4-3 OVC) shot 57.1 percent (20-for-35) from the field in the second half, outscoring Tennessee Tech 46-35 after the two teams were knotted at 37-all at the half on a game that was featured on ESPN-U. Hudson, the nation’s No. 2 scorer behind Davidson’s Stephen Curry, ended the night with 29 points (14-of-25 shooting), 10 rebounds, seven assists, and five steals, extending his own streak as being the nation’s only statisticallyranked NCAA Division-I player to score at least 20 points in every game played in 2008-2009. Hay snatched his second career double-double with a career-high 18 points and 10 rebounds, and is now shooting 75 percent (21-for-28) from the field over his last six games. UT Martin was also led by Marquis Weddle, who scored 16 points, and got significant contributions from Reuben Clayton (nine points), Djero Riedewald (six points), and Delrico Lane (five points, six rebounds, six assists). Tennessee Tech placed four in double figures, led by Daniel Northern’s 11 points and 10 rebounds. DJ Lindsay led the Golden Eagles with 15 points, as Will Barnes added 14 points and Zach Bailey chipped in 10 points for the Golden Eagles, who fell to 8-8 (2-4 OVC). At the half, Hudson led all scorers with 11 points on 5-of-10 shooting, while Tennessee Tech’s Barnes was the games’ only other double-digit scorer with ten points. Tennessee Tech scored the first bucket of the second half to take a brief lead, but the Skyhawks came roaring back, going on a 18-4 run over the next 5:29 to go on top by 12, a margin they would match three more times in the next 4:14 of action. The Golden Eagles made a push, cutting the lead to six on three different occasions, as late as 6:02 when Northern made two free throws. UT Martin quickly erased any chance of a comeback, going on a 6-0 run over the next 1:24 to make the score 75-63. The Skyhawks pushed their lead out to as many as 14 twice more before the final margin of 83-72 gave UT Martin their ninth win in the last 10 games.

JACKSONVILLE, Ala. - The University of Tennessee at Martin led for the last 35 minutes of the game tonight at the Pete Mathews Coliseum, placing three players in double-figures en route to a 92-73 win over the Jacksonville State Gamecocks. The win gave UT Martin its 10th victory in its last 11 games to improve to 12-6, with a 5-3 Ohio Valley Conference mark. Lester Hudson had game-highs of 25 points, eight rebounds, and five steals to lead the Skyhawks, and Marquis Weddle tallied 20 points (6-of-10 shooting from three-point range) to close out the win for UT Martin. Delrico Lane continued his strong play by reaching six career-highs in tonight’s game, including 16 points on 5-of-7 shooting from the floor. Lane also had a game-high six assists to pace the Skyhawks. The Gamecocks were led by Jonathan Toles’ 21 points, as Nick Murphy and Jeremy Bynum each chipped in 15 points for Jacksonville State, who has dropped seven of its last nine to fall to 8-8 (2-5 OVC). After Hay made one of two from the charity stripe just 16 seconds into the game, the Skyhawks found themselves down by six early, when DeAndre Bray made a jumper in the paint at the 18:07 mark. UT Martin scrambled back by going on a 9-2 run over the next 2:26 to take a 10-9 lead. The Gamecocks came back on the next possession and got a bucket from Murphy to go back ahead by one, but UT Martin used a 14-3 run over a stretch of 4:22 to go ahead by 13 points. After Jacksonville State cut the UT Martin lead to seven, the Skyhawks went on a tear from the field, ending the half on a 13-1 run over the last 3:00 to take a 50-31 lead to the locker room. It was the second time the Skyhawks had broken the 50-point barrier in the first half this season, and first time against a Division-I opponent (UT Martin also scored 59 points in the first half against Maryville on Nov. 14). The Skyhawks went 17-for-27 from the field in the first half, including nine for 15 from beyond the three-point line. The 63 percent from the field was a season-high for UT Martin, and the 60 percent accuracy from behind the three-point arc tied a season-high, as the Skyhawks also hit 60 percent (three out of five attempts) against Fordham on Dec. 28. Hudson had a game-high 16 points at the break, as Weddle also had 12 points on four three-pointers to lead UT Martin. The Skyhawks picked up in the second half where they left off in the first, scoring the first seven points to take a 57-31 lead with 17:35 left in the game. The Gamecocks then went on an 11-2 run to cut the UT Martin lead to 16 points, but UT Martin answered right back with an 11-3 run of its own over 3:56 to push the lead back out to 24. A Weddle three-pointer off a high screen at the 7:46 mark gave UT Martin a 25-point lead - the biggest of the night - and Jacksonville State wouldn’t get any closer than 15 points the rest of the way.

MARTIN, Tenn. - The University of Tennessee at Martin used a 21-6 run in the first half en route to its fifth consecutive victory and its 11th win in 12 games with an 86-73 decision over visiting Southeast Missouri State Thursday night in the Kathleen and Tom Elam Center. Senior Lester Hudson scored 24 points and had 11 rebounds and six assists to record his fifth doubledouble of the season. Olajide Hay and Marquis Weddle added 16 points each in the game. The Skyhawks built a nine-point lead, 17-8, when sophomore Benzor Simmons had a dunk with 11:19 to play in the first half. Southeast Missouri State made it a two-point game when Kenard Moore hit back-toback 3-pointers with 7:55 to play. Moore led all scorers with 28 points in the game. Hudson triggered the 21-6 run with a jumper to give the Skyhawks a 26-22 advantage with 6:58 to play before the intermission. Hudson had 11 of the 21 points in the run, while junior Eric Massey went 4-for-5 from the field and scored all eight of his points in the first half. Massey also had five rebounds and three steals in the game. Southeast Missouri State trailed at the half 45-29. In the second half, the visiting Redhawks outscored the host Skyhawks 44-41. Jaycen Herring scored 11 of his 17 points in the second half and Calvin Williams, who did not play in the first game because of an ankle injury, finished the game with 11 points and 13 rebounds. The Skyhawks enjoyed their biggest lead of the game, 26 points, when Hay made a layup off an assist from Delrico Lane and drew the foul. Hay made the free throw to complete the old fashion 3-point play and the Skyhawks led 80-54 with 7:23 to play in the game. The Skyhawks are 11-1 with Hay in the starting lineup. The Skyhawks are 13-6 overall and 6-3 in the Ohio Valley Conference. With the victory over Southeast Missouri State (3-17, 0-9 OVC) and Murray State’s win over Eastern Illinois the Skyhawks move up to thirdplace in the league standings.

UT Martin 65 • Eastern Illinois 51 Jan. 24, 2009 • Martin, Tenn. • Kathleen and Tom Elam Center MARTIN, Tenn. - The University of Tennessee at Martin men’s basketball team battled back from a six-point deficit to knock off a feisty Eastern Illinois team, 65-51, and earn its sixth consecutive victory Saturday night in the Kathleen and Tom Elam Center. The Skyhawks, who have won 12 of 13 games since Dec. 15, are now 14-6 on the year and 7-3 in the Ohio Valley Conference standings. Eastern Illinois falls to 8-11 overall and 5-4 in the league standings. The Skyhawks jumped out to a quick 16-9 lead when Eric Massey made a layup with 13:02 to play in the first half. EIU made an 8-3 run capped off by a Roman Martin 3-pointer with 9:50 to play that made it a one-point game, 19-18. The visiting Panthers took the lead, 23-22, with 5:19 to play before the break when Tyler Laser knocked down a 3-pointer. The Panthers stretched that lead to six points but retreated to the locker room at the break with a one-point lead, 31-30. Laser opened the second half with a 3-pointer and Ousmane Cisse added a layup to give the Panthers a 36-30 advantage with 18:08 to play. The Skyhawks answered back with vengeance and a 25-4 run that senior Lester Hudson ignited with a 3-pointer with 17:40 to play in the game. Delrico Lane put the exclamation point on the run with a layup that gave the Skyhawks a 5540 lead with 6:43 to play in the contest. The Skyhawks never looked back. Hudson led all scorers with 29 points and nine rebounds. Sophomore Marquis Weddle added 12 points to the Skyhawks’ total, while Lane tossed in six points and had eight assists. Laser led the Panthers with 21 points UT Martin 87 • Austin Peay 82 (OT) Feb. 5, 2009 • Clarksville, Tenn. • Dunn Center CLARKSVILLE, Tenn. - The University of Tennessee at Martin senior guard Lester Hudson sank two free throws with three seconds left in regulation to force overtime tonight at the Dunn Center. In the overtime period, the Skyhawks never trailed and avenged a home loss to Austin Peay earlier this season by downing the Governors, 87-82, on a game that was aired on national television on ESPNU. With the win, the Skyhawks improve to 15-6 and 8-3 in the Ohio Valley Conference. UT Martin had to overcome foul-outs by three forwards, and a four-point deficit with under two minutes to play in regulation to defeat the Governors in Clarksville. The win was the Skyhawks’ seventh straight OVC victory, and 13th in their last 14 tries. Although Hudson ended the night with 30 points and 10 rebounds, the win was a total team effort - as the Skyhawks placed four in double figures. A pair of junior guards gave the Skyhawks a big boost - as Reuben Clayton stepped up big off the bench to erupt for a career-high 18 points on 7-of-9 shooting, and Delrico Lane compiled another great all-around game (13 points, nine rebounds, seven assists, five steals). Marquis Weddle also chipped in 11 points for the Skyhawks, who catapulted into second place in the OVC, just one game behind Morehead State, who lost 57-52 at Jacksonville State tonight. For the Governors, Drake Reed earned game-highs of 35 points, 18 rebounds, and five blocks. Anthony Campbell scored 12 points and Wes Channels had 10 points for Austin Peay, who falls to 12-10 (8-4 OVC). Much like the two teams’ first meeting in which Austin Peay shot 58.6 percent in the first half on Jan. 8, the Governors shot 57.7 percent in the first half. Meanwhile, six of the first 11 UT Martin field goals were three-pointers, as the Skyhawks ripped the nets to shoot 42.9 percent from beyond the three-point line in the first 20 minutes. Out of the break, the Skyhawks slowly clawed back and took a brief one-point lead on a pair of Hudson free throws stemming from a technical foul on the Austin Peay bench with 15:59 left. Reed immediately came back to hit a pair of free throws to put the Governors back on top by one, but UT Martin took a 44-43 lead off a Hudson lay-up with 14:37 left. Despite Austin Peay calling two back-to-back timeouts to try and ice Hudson, the senior was unfazed, calmly sinking two free throws to knot the score at 67-all with :03 seconds remaining. Caldwell then was able to throw up a one-handed off-balance 20-footer as time expired, but the ball caromed off the rim, forcing overtime at the Dunn Center - the Skyhawks’ second overtime contest of the season. In the extra period, Simmons got the Skyhawks started with a reverse lay-up at the 4:29 mark to make the score 69-67. Although the Skyhawks led by as many as nine points with 1:25 left, the Governors cut the lead to three on a Channels threepointer with 20 seconds left. Hudson and Clayton hit five of six free throw attempts in the last 18 seconds to seal the 87-82 victory.

2008-09 GAME-BY-GAME RECAPS UT Martin 100 • Tennessee State 73 Feb. 7, 2009 • Nashville, Tenn. • Gentry Center NASHVILLE, Tenn. - After leading by only four points against Tennessee State at the halftime break, The University of Tennessee at Martin shot 57.6 percent from the floor in the second half and broke away - thanks to career nights from senior forward Olajide Hay and sophomore guard Reuben Clayton - in a 100-73 victory at the Gentry Center tonight. The win was the Skyhawks’ eighth straight win and 14th out of their last 15 tries. Guard Lester Hudson continued his All-American campaign with 34 points, 10 rebounds, and eight assists - all game-highs - but it was the contributions from Hay and Clayton that helped the Skyhawks (16-6, 9-3 Ohio Valley Conference) extend their lead to as much as 28 points in the second half. Hay went 7-for-9 from the field and a perfect 7-for-7 from the charity stripe for a career-high 21 points. The Skyhawks are now 14-1 since the senior from Henderson, Ky. returned to the team after the fall semester, as Hay also pulled down nine rebounds (five offensive). Just two days after setting a new career-high in points with 18 at Austin Peay, Clayton went 8-for-11 from the field for a brand new career-high - 20 points - in only 22 minutes played. UT Martin made good on their chances from the free throw line, going 21-for-25 from the charity stripe (84 percent). The Skyhawks also held a 50-20 point advantage from the paint. The Tigers (6-17, 4-9 OVC) placed four in double-figures, led by Jeremiah Crutcher’s 18 points. Emanuel Gaiter (14 points) and Darius Cox (13 points) came off the bench and performed well for Tennessee State, while Jerrell Houston added a double-double with 12 points and 10 rebounds. At the break, Crutcher had collected a game-high 13 points, while Hay had 12 points and Hudson had 11 points to lead UT Martin, who shot 50 percent (18-for-36) from the floor despite Hudson’s late trey being the only three-point field goal the Skyhawks had made in nine attempts. The Skyhawks came out of the locker room to score the half’s first seven points, with the second of two Hudson free throws giving UT Martin a 46-35 advantage with 17:20 left. A jumper by Tennessee State’s Derek Shoecraft with 11:44 left cut the UT Martin lead to 62-52, but that’s as close as the Tigers would get. UT Martin went on a 23-6 run that was capped off by a Hudson trey at the 5:38 mark that made the score 85-58. The Skyhawks landed right on the 100 point barrier with three seconds left, when Joe Bailey put in a fast break lay-up off a feed from Eric Massey that left the Gentry Center scoreboard reading 100-73 in UT Martin’s favor. The game marked the first time the Skyhawks had gone off for 100 points since the season-opening 121-56 win over Maryville, and the first time UT Martin had scored 100 or more points against a Division-I opponent since their 106-86 win against the same Tennessee State team at home on Jan. 11, 2003.

UT Martin 99 • Jacksonville State 74 Feb. 12, 2009 • Martin, Tenn. • Kathleen and Tom Elam Center MARTIN, Tenn. - Senior Lester Hudson scored 19 points in the second half to lead The University of Tennessee at Martin to a 99-74 victory over visiting Jacksonville State tonight in the Kathleen and Tom Elam Center. The Ohio Valley Conference victory was the Skyhawks’ ninth consecutive win and 15th in their last 16 games. The Skyhawks are now 17-6 on the year and 10-3 overall. The 17 victories this season matches last year’s 17 wins, the most the Skyhawks have ever won in a single season since playing NCAA Division I basketball.

MARTIN, Tenn. - The University of Tennessee at Martin overcame a dismal shooting performance in the first half and rallied from a two-point deficit to hold off visiting Tennessee Tech (11-15, 5-11 OVC), 71-62, Saturday night in the Kathleen and Tom Elam Center. Senior Lester Hudson recorded his seventh double-double of the season with 33 points and 11 rebounds to lead the Skyhawks to their tenth consecutive Ohio Valley Conference victory. Sophomore Marquis Weddle tossed in 17 points, while sophomore Reuben Clayton came off the bench to add 11 points. The Skyhawks are 18-6 overall and 11-3 in the OVC race. The 18 wins are the most in a single season for the Skyhawks since they began playing NCAA Division I basketball in 1992. The ten consecutive wins equal streaks set back in 1982 and 1983. The Skyhawks fell behind early as Tech jumped out to a 23-10 lead when freshman Kevin Murphy sank two free throws with 12:05 to play in the first half. Delrico Lane ignited an 11-2 run with a steal and a layup with 11:26 to go in the half. Hudson capped off the run with a jumper at 6:01 that cut Tech’s lead to four points, 25-21. The Skyhawks tied the game at 30-all with two Weddle free throws, and Hudson added a layup to put the home team up 33-32 with 1:58 to play before the intermission. Tech’s Frank Davis knocked down a 3-pointer with 25 seconds on the clock and the Skyhawks trailed 35-33 at the break. The halftime deficit marked the ninth time this season the Skyhawks were behind at the break. The Skyhawks are now 5-4 on the year when they trail at halftime. Tech shot 48 percent from the field in the first half and made four 3-pointers. Murphy scored 12 of his team-high 23 points in the first half, while Daniel Northern grabbed eight of his game-high 17 rebounds in the half. The Skyhawks shot 33 percent from the field and only hit 5-of-15 3-pointers in the first half. The Skyhawks opened the second half with a Hudson jumper that knotted the game at 35-all. Hudson tied the game again at 41-all and Weddle tied it at 45-45 when he drained a 3-pointer with 10:41 to play in the game. Olajide Hay had a stick back with 10:22 to play that gave the Skyhawks a 47-45 advantage. With 33 seconds left in the contest, Clayton put the exclamation point on the win with a thundering dunk to give the Skyhawks a 68-60 advantage.

2008-09 GAME-BY-GAME RECAPS UT Martin 76 • Eastern Illinois 60 Feb. 18, 2009 • Charleston, Ill. • Lantz Arena CHARLESTON, Ill. - Sophomore Marquis Weddle scored 14 of his team-high 25 points in the second half tonight, as The University of Tennessee at Martin reeled off their 11th straight victory and 17th out of their last 18 tries in a 76-60 victory over the Eastern Illinois Panthers at Lantz Arena tonight. Weddle, who went 9-for-19 from the floor (5-of-11 from three-point range), came just one point shy of breaking his seasonhigh of 26 points, which was set in the season-opening victory over Maryville. Tonight’s performance also marked the first time since the Jacksonville State game on Jan. 17 that the Preseason All-Ohio Valley Conference guard went for more than 20 points. Senior guard Lester Hudson, who had led the team in scoring in the team’s previous 25 games dating back to last season, extended his streak of being the only statistically-ranked NCAA Division-I team to score at least 20 points in every game played. Hudson finished the night with 22 points, hitting a season-high five treys on nine attempts. Hudson also led UT Martin with a team-high nine rebounds and dished out a game-high six assists. For Eastern Illinois (11-15, 8-8 OVC), Romain Martin tossed in a game-high 27 points, and junior center Ousmane Cisse recorded a double-double with 10 points and a game-high 11 rebounds. The win matched the most consecutive victories in Skyhawk history, which has occurred two other times. The first streak took place during the 1985-1986 season, and the other 11-game win streak happened in the 1986-1987 season. The win also catapulted UT Martin (19-6, 12-3 OVC) into first place in the OVC standings, as Morehead State fell 74-70 earlier tonight at Eastern Kentucky to move their conference mark to 12-4. At the break, Martin’s 12 points led all scorers, while Weddle had 11 points on a game-high three treys. Hudson also made three treys for the Skyhawks at the break, as UT Martin was held to 33.3 shooting from the floor, while the Panthers shot 44 percent from the field. Martin and the Panthers came out on a scoring frenzy to begin the second half of play, as Martin scored five straight points in 1:08 to tie the game at 29-all. Three more ties ensued before UT Martin created some separation, going on an 11-2 run that was capped off by a Djero Riedewald lay-up at the 11:30 mark. Eastern Illinois would never get closer than 10 points the rest of the way, thanks to Weddle. The sophomore from Union City scored eight of the team’s next 10 points, putting the Skyhawks up 66-49 at the 4:37 mark. The Skyhawks would lead by as many as 21 points on the second of two Hudson free throws with 1:27 left in the game.

UT Martin 77 • Missouri State 79 Feb. 21, 2009 • Martin, Tenn. • Kathleen and Tom Elam Center MARTIN, Tenn. - Kyle Weems hit a floater that rolled around the rim before falling through net with one second on the clock to lead visiting Missouri State to a 79-77 men’s basketball victory over The University of Tennessee at Martin Saturday night in the Kathleen and Tom Elam Center. The win ended UT Martin’s 11-game winning streak and Missouri State’s five-game losing slide. The setback also marks the first time in four years that UT Martin has lost an ESPNU BracketBuster game. The Skyhawks are now 19-7 overall while Missouri State improves to 11-17. Missouri State’s Spencer Laurie made a layup with 1:56 to play in the game to knot the score at 75-all. UT Martin’s Benzor Simmons answered with a bucket with 1:42 to go, but Missouri State’s Chris Cooks tied the game at 77-77 with a putback with 1:14 to play. Down the stretch both teams had a chance to score. Missouri State turned the ball over with 1:02 to play, while UT Martin’s Delrico Lane missed a 3-pointer with 12 seconds to play. Olajide Hay tried to grab the rebound, but the ball was out-of-bounds and Missouri State took the ball out. Once the Bears crossed half court they called time out with 7.2 seconds showing on the clock. Once the ball was inbounded Weems drove the left side of the lane and let go of the one-handed floater. UT Martin’s Marquis Weddle led all scorers with 26 points, while senior Lester Hudson added 20 points. Simmons finished the game with 11 points. Missouri State’s Cardell McFarland and Will Creekmore scored 15 points each, while Cooks added 14 points and Weems tossed in 11 points. UT Martin battled from behind for most of the game. Weddle tied it at 58-all with 11:40 to play and then gave the Skyhawks a 61-60 lead when he knocked down a 3-pointer. McFarland drained back-to-back 3-pointers and then completed an old fashion three-point play with 5:17 to play to account for three of those possessions. The Skyhawks enjoyed their biggest advantage, a four-point lead 75-71, when Hudson hit an eight-foot jumper in the paint. The first half was different as the Skyhawks struggled throughout, trailing by nine points, 23-14, with 11:48. Hudson played 11 minutes in the game and was forced to the bench with three personal fouls. Despite Hudson’s departure the Skyhawks battled back and made it a one-point game, 39-38, when Simmons hit two free throws with 2:19 to go. With five seconds left in the half, Creekmore drained a 3-pointer to give Missouri State a 47-39 advantage at the half.

UT Martin 59 • Murray State 74 Feb. 23, 2009 • Murray, Ky. • Regional Special Events Center MURRAY, Ky. - The University of Tennessee at Martin high-powered offense was held in check tonight, putting together their secondlowest scoring output of the season in a 74-59 loss at Murray State at the Regional Special Events Center. UT Martin (19-8, 12-4 Ohio Valley Conference) entered tonight’s game averaging 80.0 points per outing - the highest of any team in the OVC - but could only muster 59 points. In the process, UT Martin shot only eight percent from beyond the three-point arc, connecting on only two of their 24 attempts. Sophomore Benzor Simmons put in 15 points to tie a team-high for the Skyhawks, as Lester Hudson also scored 15 points for UT Martin. Marquis Weddle netted 10 points for the Skyhawks, who have dropped two straight after winning a school-record 11 straight games. For the Racers (16-11, 11-5 OVC), Isacc Miles accumulated a triple-double with 13 points, 11 assists, and 10 rebounds. Freshman Ivan Aska collected game-highs of 23 points and 11 rebounds, while Danero Thomas (15 points) and Tyler Holloway (13 points) also scored in double-figures. UT Martin began the game on an 8-0 run, as the Skyhawk defense held the Racers scoreless until the 15:58 mark, when Miles converted on an old-fashioned three-point play. That three-point play set the tone for a Racer 10-4 run over the next 3:39 to cut the Skyhawk lead to one possession at 12-10. After both teams combined for only one bucket over the next 5:04, Murray State tied the game at 15-all with a Thomas trey at the 6:47 mark. The Skyhawks then scored five unanswered points, but the Racers took their first lead at with 3:09 left before the break on a Miles layup. The lead would change hands four more times, with the last UT Martin lead coming on a pair of Hudson free throws with 2:24 left to make the score 28-27 in the Skyhawks’ favor. Murray State then scored 12 consecutive points to end the half, the last coming on a Matt Fraliex three-pointer from the left wing with three seconds left that left UT Martin down 40-28 at the break. At the half, Aska led all scorers with 12 points, as Hudson led the Skyhawks with nine points on 7-of-7 shooting from the charity stripe. The Racers’ 12 point halftime lead was due in large part to their three-point shooting, as they hit 6-of-14 from beyond the arc, as opposed to the Skyhawks’ 1-for-10 performance from long range. After Murray State scored the first three points of the second half, the Skyhawks broke their cold drought in a big way by scoring the next 11 points to cut the deficit to 43-39 with 15:33 left to play. The Skyhawks would again go cold from the floor - going scoreless for a span of 4:24 - while Murray State pushed the lead back out to 11 at 54-43. UT Martin cut the lead to seven on a Reuben Clayton reverse lay-up at the 6:19 mark but wouldn’t get any closer - as Murray State led by as many as 20 points on a Thomas layup with 45 seconds left.

2008-09 GAME-BY-GAME RECAPS UT Martin 74 • Eastern Kentucky 55 Feb. 26, 2009 • Martin, Tenn. • Kathleen and Tom Elam Center MARTIN, Tenn. - Senior Olajide Hay turned in a career night with 22 points and 12 rebounds to lead The University of Tennessee at Martin men’s basketball team to a 74-55 victory over Eastern Kentucky University and a share of the Ohio Valley Conference regular season title Thursday night in the Kathleen and Tom Elam Center. UT Martin will close out its regular season at 6 p.m., Saturday, Feb. 28, against visiting Morehead State. If UT Martin wins Saturday night’s contest it will claim the OVC regular season championship outright and grab the league’s No. 1 seed in next week’s postseason tournament. A loss would still guarantee the Skyhawks a home game in the first round of the tournament. The Skyhawks scored the first four points of the game and stretched their lead to 11 points, 17-6, with senior Djero Riedewald’s dunk with 9:56 to play in the first half. The Skyhawks enjoyed three 11-point advantages in the first half. Hay scored 12 first-half points and had seven rebounds as the Skyhawks led 32-23 at the break. The Skyhawks stretched their lead to 24 points in the second half when senior Lester Hudson made a layup with 12:12 to play in the game. Hudson finished the game with 17 points, nine rebounds and six assists, while sophomore Marquis Weddle tossed in 16 points. The Skyhawks shot 51 percent from the field and out-rebounded EKU 40-27. Papa Oppong led the visiting Colonels with 11 points. The Skyhawks enter Saturday’s game against Morehead State with a 20-8 overall record and a 13-4 OVC worksheet. UT Martin 79 • Morehead State 65 Feb. 28, 2009 • Martin, Tenn. • Kathleen and Tom Elam Center MARTIN, Tenn. - Sophomore Marquis Weddle scored a season-high 30 points while senior Lester Hudson netted 27 points to lead The University of Tennessee at Martin men’s basketball team to a 79-65 victory over visiting Morehead State and its first-ever Ohio Valley Conference regular season championship. “This is very rewarding,” said Bret Campbell the Skyhawks’ head coach. “I am extremely proud of our players and coaching and the focus they maintained throughout the season. It’s been a longtime coming. It’s very rewarding that it is here and we can embrace the moment.” The Skyhawks will advance to the OVC tournament as the No. 1 seed and host No. 8 Tennessee Tech at 7 p.m., Tuesday in the Kathleen and Tom Elam Center. The winner advances to the semifinals at the Sommet Center in Nashville. “Our goal is to go the NCAA tournament,” Campbell said. “We have some more work to do.” The Skyhawks jumped out to a 31-13 lead with 5:39 to play in the first half and never looked back although Morehead State threatened with a 13-5 run to close the half. Of the 31 points, Weddle and Hudson combined for 28, and finished the first half with 14 points each. They were a combined 6-for-15 from 3-point range. The Skyhawks led 36-26 at the break. In the second half the Skyhawks stretched their lead to 20 points, 53-33, when Eric Massey hit two free throws with 14:40 to play. Kenneth Faried led Morehead State’s effort with 14 points and 15 rebounds. He helped Morehead State win the battle on the boards, 41-38. Despite being out-rebound, Hudson led the Skyhawks’ charge with a career-high 13 rebounds. Hudson also had five steals and five assists and two blocks in the game.

MARTIN, Tenn. - Senior Lester Hudson scored a career-high with 42 points as The University of Tennessee at Martin men’s basketball team posted a 93-75 victory over Tennessee Tech Tuesday night in the first round of the Ohio Valley Conference Tournament in the Kathleen and Tom Elam Center. The Skyhawks (22-8), seeded No. 1 in the eight-team tournament, will advance to the semifinals at the Sommet Center in Nashville where they will face No. 4 seed Morehead State. Tipoff is set for Friday at 6 p.m. The game will be televised live on ESPNU. This will be UT Martin’s second consecutive trip to the OVC Tournament semifinals. The Skyhawks, seeded fourth, suffered a 78-77 lost to No. 1 seed Austin Peay in last year’s tournament. “We talked about how this was the last game on our home court for the seniors and how special this was for Lester to have a night like this,” the Skyhawks head coach Bret Campbell said. “Somebody said Lester was in a shooting slump, but he came out of it tonight.” En route to his career high in scoring, Hudson tied his own mark for most 3-pointers made in a game (8); and set a new school record for most field goals attempted (1,276). Hudson’s eight 3-pointers was one off the tournament record set by UT Martin teammate Marquis Weddle in last year’s triple overtime victory over Samford. The Skyhawks jumped out to a 43-33 lead at halftime. Hudson netted 18 points in the first half and was 6-of-11 from the field and 4-of-8 from behind the arch. Senior Olajide Hay was 5-for-5 from the field and added 10-first half point to the tally. Hay finished the game with 17 points. He was perfect from the field on eight attempts. Hay’s layup with six minutes to play in the game gave the Skyhawks an 87-64 advantage. The 23-point cushion was the biggest of the game for the home team. “We played extremely well, very hard, and very focused,” Campbell said. Tech was paced by Daniel Northern who scored 18 points and pulled down 12 rebounds. Freshman Kevin Murphy scored 14 points, while Alfred Jones added 13 points.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. - Lester Hudson put in a game-high 34 points on 11-of-24 shooting, but it ultimately wasn’t enough for The University of Tennessee at Martin Skyhawks, who fell 63-55 to the Morehead State Eagles in the Ohio Valley Conference Tournament semifinals at the Sommet Center tonight. Three nights after Hudson scored a career-high 42 points and nailed eight three-pointers against Tennessee Tech in the OVC Tournament quarterfinals, the senior from Memphis hit seven of his 12 three-point attempts tonight. Hudson also led the team with 10 rebounds for his 21st career double-double. Benzor Simmons was the next-leading scorer for the Skyhawks (22-9), scoring seven points. Olajide Hay and Delrico Lane each poured in five points, and Reuben Clayton (three points) and Eric Massey (one point) also contributed to round out the scoring for UT Martin. For Morehead State, Kenneth Faried scored 22 points and grabbed a game-high 17 rebounds. Maze Stallworth (13 points) was the only other player to reach double-figures for the Eagles, who advance to the OVC Finals tomorrow at 7 p.m. against the winner of the Austin Peay/Murray State semifinal matchup later tonight. The start of the game was a back-and-forth affair between two All-OVC First Teamers in Hudson and Faried, as the two combined to score 14 of the game’s first 18 points. UT Martin held the lead until Morehead State used a 16-3 run over the next 7:52 to push their lead out to 22-13 with 7:48 left before the half. At the half UT Martin trailed 30-24 and it was Hudson’s 16 points that led all scorers, but the rest of the Skyhawks had only combined for eight points on 2-for-10 shooting. The 24 point halftime total was the second lowest first half output for the Skyhawks this season, as UT Martin scored 17 points in the first 20 minutes at USC on Nov. 28, 2008. Faried had 11 points and six rebounds at the break to pace Morehead State. Morehead State opened up their lead to 10 twice in the first five minutes of the second half, but the Skyhawks clawed their way back. Thanks to a 10-1 run capped off by a Clayton trey on the right wing, UT Martin had sliced the Morehead State lead to one at 41-40 with 12:14 left to play. The Skyhawks went cold from the floor once again, allowing Morehead State to go on a 7-0 run that made the score 48-40 with 10:01 left in the game. After Morehead State led by nine at the 7:36 mark, the Skyhawks went on a 5-0 run that was capped off by a pair of Hudson free throws that made the score 53-49 with 4:31 left. However, that was the closest the Skyhawks would get the rest of the way, as Morehead State hit just enough free throws - six out of 12 - to take the game by a final margin of 63-55.

UT Martin 82 • Auburn 87 National Invitation Tournament • First Round March 18, 2009 • Auburn, Ala. • Beard-Eaves Memorial Coliseum AUBURN, Ala. - In his final game in a University of Tennessee at Martin uniform, Lester Hudson collected game-highs of 33 points, 12 rebounds, and seven assists, and put his team in position for a final stretch run against the Auburn Tigers of the Southeastern Conference. In the end, however, the Skyhawks (22-10) fell to the Tigers, 87-82 in first round National Invitation Tournament action at Beard-Eaves Memorial Coliseum. Hudson ends his stellar two-year career with 1,727 points, just two shy of Mike Meschede’s (1984-88) all-time UT Martin scoring record of 1,729. With his 33-point effort, the 6-2 Memphis native pushed his season point total to 880 points, breaking the all-time Ohio Valley Conference mark for most points in one season, set by Western Kentucky’s Jim McDaniels in the 1970-71 season. Sophomore guard Marquis Weddle also joined an elite group of UT Martin players, scoring his 1,000th point of his career early in the second half, becoming just the 14th member to accrue that many points in his career after only 65 career games. Weddle finished with eight points tonight, all in the second half. Sophomores Benzor Simmons and Reuben Clayton finished the night with 12 points apiece, while seniors Olajide Hay (eight points) and Djero Riedewald (two points) also finished their UT Martin careers tonight. Auburn (23-11) advances onto the field of 16 in the NIT, facing the winner of the Tulsa/Northwestern game. DeWayne Reed led the Tiger effort with 23 points, while Quantez Robertson added 19 points, six rebounds, six assists and four steals. Korvotney Barber and Frankie Sullivan also pitched in 10 points apiece for Auburn. After the Skyhawks tied the game at 2-2 on a Hudson floater at the 18:17 mark, Auburn created some separation, going ahead 14-6 with 14:44 left on a trey by Reed. The Skyhawks then scored the next six points to cut the Tiger lead to 14-12 on a basket by Simmons. Both teams then swapped three-pointers before Auburn went on an 18-2 run over the next 4:08 on Auburn’s seventh three-pointer of the half. Auburn extended their first half lead to 19 with an inside basket by Robertson with 4:56 left before the break, but UT Martin then went on an 8-1 run over the next 1:55 to make the score 40-28. The Skyhawks ended the first stanza by scoring seven of the last 10 points to make the halftime score 46-35. At the break, Hudson led all scorers with 12 points, also adding in five rebounds and four assists. Robertson led Auburn with 11 points, as the Tigers hit eight of 15 three-point attempts for 53.3 percent. Weddle earned his 1,000th career point with 19:23 left in the game, nailing a three-pointer from the right wing to trim the Auburn lead to 48-38. After Barber made one of two free throws at the 17:13 mark to make it a 12 point game, UT Martin went on a 7-1 run over the next 1:25 to cut the deficit to 56-50 on a Hudson bucket inside. Auburn then used a 7-0 run to go ahead by 13 with 12:39 left, and the Auburn lead stayed in double-digits until the 7:37 mark when Weddle hit two free throws out of a media timeout. A fast break layup from Clayton 44 seconds later and a pull-up jumper from Simmons brought UT Martin to within four at 73-69 with 4:53 left. After Lucas Hargrove responded with a three-pointer just 18 seconds after Simmons’ jumper, both squads then went ice cold from the floor, not scoring for another 2:40 of clock time. Sullivan hit the second of two free throws with 1:55 left, but Hudson drilled a three-pointer 21 seconds later to make the score 77-72 in Auburn’s favor. The Skyhawks got back to within four points with 29 seconds left when Clayton converted on a layup with 29 seconds left. After three Auburn free throws, Hudson made a straightaway three-pointer for the last basket of his UT Martin career with three seconds left. After a quick UT Martin foul, Reed hit one of two free throws with one second left to make the final margin 87-82.

LESTER HUDSON: LOWE’S SENIOR CLASS ALL-AMERICAN Capping off a spectacular season, Lester Hudson was named to the All-Senior All-American second team, as selected in balloting for the Lowe’s Senior CLASS Award. NCAA Division I coaches, national media, and fan balloting determined the winners. Hudson was one of 10 finalists for the award, enjoying the Final Four from Ford Field in Detroit in an extravagant weekend of fan interaction and community service. North Carolina forward Tyler Hansbrough won the award, which was in its eighth year of existence. CBS Sports broadcaster Dick Enberg, who first conceived the idea of an award for seniors in 2001, helped make the announcement between the two semi-final games on April 4. The award was inspired by the story of former Duke star Shane Battier, who could have been an NBA lottery pick but returned to college for his senior season and led the Blue Devils to the NCAA national championship in 2001 and earned his degree. An acronym for Celebrating Loyalty and Achievement for Staying in School, the Lowe’s Senior CLASS Award honors the attributes of senior student-athletes in four areas: classroom, community, character and competition. The award program is designed exclusively for college seniors who are utilizing their complete athletic eligibility, remaining committed to their university and pursuing the many rewards that a senior season can bring.

ALL-TIME COACHES JC HENSON 1951-52

FLOYD BURDETTE 1952-71

BOB PAYNTER 1971-80

ART TOLIS 1980-82

Ushering in the men’s basketball era at UT Martin was James C. Henson. Henson, a former standout football player and track performer at Mississippi State, served in numerous capacities during his early years at UT Martin. He coached football and basketball, headed the Department of Physical Education, served as director of athletics and taught a chemistry class. Colleagues and students both remember his philosophy of life, good humor and amicable manner. In 1952, the UT Martin athletics department opened a new branch of the department that catered to only women’s athletics, thanks in large part to Henson’s funding. Henson also was at the helm of some of the most successful programs in school history - the men’s tennis program. Henson won four Volunteer State Athletic Conference titles in the 1970’s. After coaching the team for three decades, Henson retired in 1980. Henson’s presence is still very much around the UT Martin campus, as the Henson House overlooks the team’s varsity tennis courts, and serves as an office for head coach Dennis Taylor as well as a dressing room, media room equipped with surround sound, a stringing room with three stringing machines, a full kitchen and a team meeting room. All in all, Henson served as athletics director from 1947-71, and head coach of the football (1947-56), men’s basketball (1947-52) and men’s tennis (1952-80) squads. In 1984, Henson was the ninth member inducted into the UT Martin Athletics Hall of Fame.

The longest tenured coach in UT Martin history, Floyd Burdette was at the helm when UT Martin competed in the Volunteer State Athletic Conference. Burdette, who played basketball at UT Martin in the mid-1930’s, returned home to head the men’s basketball program in 1952. A native of Martin, Burdette had served for seven years as the head basketball coach at the University of Alabama prior to his appointment at Martin. Burdette won the most games of any coach in UT Martin history (197), and posted a .500 record or better in nine of his 11 seasons in the VSAC. As the team prepared to exit the VSAC and enter the Mid-South Conference in 1970, Burdette’s team stormed to three successive victories and the conference championship Burdette also was part of a major change in UT Martin athletics history in 1969, as he recruited Leonard Hamilton, who was the first AfricanAmerican to suit up for a UT Martin athletics program. Burdette was a charter member into the UT Martin Athletics Hall of Fame in 1983.

As the UT M a r t i n program entered the Gulf South Conference, Bob Paynter was appointed to run the men’s basketball program, as well as direct the athletics department in 1971. Prior to becoming head coach and director of athletics, Paynter had been serving as an administrative assistant to UT Martin Chancellor Archie R. Dykes. A native of Richmond, Ky., he received his bachelors degree from St. Mary’s College in Minnesota, his master’s degree from Eastern Kentucky University, and a doctorate in education from the University of Tennessee in Knoxville. His coaching experience included a 14-year stint as head coach at the University High School of East Tennessee State University. Paynter compiled three seasons with a .500 or better record, but could never reach that mark in GSC competition. Paynter did, however, coach eight different players to AllGSC honors. Paynter was responsible for Fred Sanders, Jim Martin and Larry Carter earning All-GSC first team accolades in his tenure, as well as guiding Jack Bendure, Marcus McLemore, Vic Quinn, Joe Biddie and Don Hubbard to All-GSC second team mentions in his tenure. In fact, Paynter was the man responsible for recruiting Hubbard, who ended his four-year UT Martin career as the school’s all-time leading scorer, reaching 1,124 points.

Leading the UT Martin program to its first-ever 20-win season and NCAA Division II Tournament appearance was head coach Art Tolis. Tolis, who had served as an assistant coach at Louisiana State University for six years, was highly respected as a coach and a recruiter prior to his appointment at UT Martin by Chancellor Charles E. Smith and athletics director Ray Mears. In Tolis’ first season at the helm, he led UT Martin to five Gulf South Conference wins, which was the total of combined GSC wins the team had accumulated in the previous two seasons. Don Hubbard earned All-GSC second team honors in 198081. The team took off in Tolis’ second season, setting a program record for singleseason overall wins (20) and GSC victories (nine). The team earned one of the program’s biggest wins at the time, a 65-41 drubbing of Mississippi State in Starkville on Dec. 12, 1981. In the season’s 11 losses, only one loss was more than eight points, including an amazing seven losses by five points or less. Three of the team’s losses came to GSC rival Livingston by a combined eight points, including the GSC Tournament championship game. Even with the loss, the team advanced to the NCAA Division II Tournament, defeating Central Missouri before falling to future OVC member Southeast Missouri by a 56-53 score. Tolis’ second season also produced another school record, as the team landed two first-team All-GSC selections in Larry Brooks and Darrell Smith.

Leading the most successful stretch in UT Martin basketball history was Glen Ellyn, Ill. native Tom Hancock. Hancock had spent one season as an assistant coach at UT Martin before being promoted to head coach after the resignation of Art Tolis concluding the 1981-82 season. Hancock’s first season was a season of many firsts in UT Martin program history, as the team broke or tied 19 school records en route to a program-best 21 win season, its first Gulf South Conference championship, and second consecutive NCAA Division II South Central Regional Tournament. Picked seventh out of eight teams in the preseason poll in 1982-83, Hancock earned GSC Coach of the Year Honors and 6-7 junior center Jerry Davis was named GSC Player of the Year - both of which were the first time UT Martin was represented in those GSC categories. The Pacers went 17-1 at home and ranked No. 4 in the NCAA in defense, as Davis, Gus Rudolph and Mitch Stentiford were all named to the GSC’s first team. Hancock would go on to post two more 20-win seasons and win one more GSC championship in the 1987-88 season. Overall, Hancock’s teams shattered more than 40 records in his nine-year tenure, and his average of 19 wins per season are the highest of any UT Martin coach.

Perhaps the most influential coach in UT Martin history was Cal Luther. Tabbed by UT Martin athletics director Don McLeary to guide the UT Martin program through the NCAA Division-I re-classification process, Luther had more than 30 years of coaching experience. After rebuilding DePauw (Ind.) to an Indiana Collegiate Conference championship, Luther moved on to Ohio Valley Conference member Murray State, where he was credited for laying the foundation for the program’s success. At Murray State, Luther led the Racers to three OVC titles, was named OVC Coach of the Year three times, and earned a spot in the school’s athletics Hall of Fame after leading the team to two NCAA Tournaments. From Murray State, Luther went to Longwood in Virginia, where he led a former all-girls school to a transition from DivisionIII to Division-II, earning five winning seasons and a 20-7 record in 1988-89. At UT Martin, Luther guided the team into the Ohio Valley Conference and made the change from the Pacers nickname to Skyhawks. While the team scheduled the toughest opponents for most of Luther’s tenure to keep up with Division-I budget restraints, Luther still found success - earning OVC Coach of the Year in 1996 after his program earned its first winning season in the OVC.

The UT M a r t i n Skyhawks earned its first-ever postseason berth as a Division-I member under the guidance of Bret Campbell. An assistant coach at OVC member Austin Peay before his arrival in Martin, Campbell gave the Skyhawks its first-ever winning season since joining the Division-I ranks in just his third season in charge. Six of the 14 UT Martin all-time 1,000 point scorers played under Campbell, including standout guard Lester Hudson. In Campbell’s last two seasons as coach, the Skyhawks were led by Hudson, who quickly became one of the most dynamic players in the NCAA after tallying the NCAA’s first-ever quadruple double (25 points, 12 rebounds, 10 assists and 10 steals) against Central Baptist in the third game of his career. Under Campbell, the Skyhawks hosted its first OVC Tournament game and won its first two OVC Tournament games.The best season by far in Campbell’s tenure was 2008-09, when the Skyhawks secured its firstever outright regular-season Ohio Valley Conference championship. The Skyhawks posted its first 20-win season since 1987-88, and made an appearance in the National Invitation Tournament, where it hung tough with Auburn before falling 87-82. For his efforts, Campbell received OVC Coach of the Year.

A f t e r spending the last seven seasons as an assistant coach at UT Martin, including the role of associate head coach during the 2008-09 Ohio Valley Conference championship season, Jason James was named the program’s eighth head coach on June 5, 2009. James, a native of St. Louis, Mo., is the nation’s second-youngest NCAA Division-I men’s basketball head coach, but his experience in the UT Martin program has James ready to go. James came to UT Martin from Forest Park Community College in St. Louis, Mo., where he was an assistant men’s basketball coach for two years. The team finished second in the region James’ first year, and many FPCC players during James’ tenure went on to play Division I and Division II basketball. Before his stint at Forest Park, James coached a high school all-star team from the state of Michigan that placed third out of 54 teams at the USA Junior Nationals. Over his tenure at UT Martin as an assistant coach, James was directly responsible in the recent resurgance of the Skyhawk program over the last several seasons. Since his first season on the Skyhawk bench in 2002, James recruited two of UT Martin’s all-time great Division-I players in Jared Newson and Lester Hudson Newson ranks fourth all-time in UT Martin history in points scored and spent time in training camp with the Dallas Mavericks before becoming a fan favorite in Germany for his acrobatic slam dunks. Hudson ended his career as the school’s alltime second leading scorer in just two seasons, and became the first-ever UT Martin player to be selected in the NBA Draft when he went in the second round to the Boston Celtics in 2009. Hudson made the Opening Night roster for Boston and made his NBA debut one night later against the Charlotte Bobcats.

OHIO VALLEY CONFERENCE Entering its 62nd year, the Ohio Valley Conference continues to build on the success that has made it the nation’s eighth-oldest NCAA Division I conference. For only the second time in a decade, the Conference expanded by adding Southern Illinois University Edwardsville as the league’s 11th member in 2008. The move expanded the OVC’s geographical footprint to the St. Louis market and marked the first change in membership since expanding to the state of Alabama (Jacksonville State, Samford) in 2003. The 2009-10 school year saw a change in leadership as Beth DeBauche was named the seventh full-time Commissioner in league history on July 28. She is currently one of just five females to be the head of a Division I conference, and one of just eight to lead a Division I conference all-time. The last three commissioners of the OVC have moved onto jobs as the commissioner of the Big Ten, Big 12 and the Mid-American Conferences. The OVC’s proud past dates back to 1948, but seeds for the new league were actually planted in 1941. It was then that Roy Stewart, the athletics director at Murray State, Charles (Turkey) Hughes, the athletics director at Eastern Kentucky, and Kelly Thompson, the public relations director at Western Kentucky, first broached the idea of forming a new conference. Discussions were put on hold by World War II, but reemerged Feb. 27-28, 1948 at the Kentucky Hotel in Louisville as the three original institutions combined with Morehead State, Louisville and Evansville to form the OVC. Fifteen years later, former OVC member Western Kentucky became the first and only Conference team to reach the Final Four. The Hilltoppers defeated Jacksonville, Kentucky and Ohio State before losing to Villanova in double overtime. WKU went on to finish in third place after beating Kansas 77-75 in the consolation game. Since that time, the OVC has recorded some of the biggest upsets in the history of the NCAA Tournament. Perhaps the most famous moment came in 1987, when Austin Peay came from fourth place in the regular season to win the OVC Tournament and earn the league’s automatic bid. The Governors drew powerful Illinois, and were such big underdogs, that ESPN broadcaster Dick Vitale promised to stand on his head if APSU won the game. After a 68-67 victory over the Illini, and a narrow 90-87 overtime loss to eventual Final Four participant Providence in the second round, Vitale made good on his promise in a visit to Clarksville two months later. Murray State added to the OVC’s string of upsets in 1988 when it knocked off 14th-ranked North Carolina State, 78-75. The Racers’ M&M Boys - Jeff Martin and Don Mann - combined for 39 points in the win. MSU nearly went on to the Sweet 16 that year, losing to eventual national champion Kansas, 61-58. A bank shot by Mann that would’ve given the Racers a one-point lead rolled off the rim with three seconds left. In 1990 as a No. 16 seed, Murray State took No. 1 seed Michigan State into overtime before falling 75-71; that game still marks the closest a No. 16 seed has come to knocking off a No. 1 in men’s tournament action. More recently, Murray State has dominated the OVC Tournament, reaching the championship game every year in the 1990’s. The Racers’ 13 OVC Tournament Championships are the most among all OVC schools. After former member Middle Tennessee State won a first round game in 1989, the league had a drought as no other OVC team won a NCAA Tournament game for the next 19 years. But Morehead State, coming off a thrilling double overtime OVC Tournament victory over Austin Peay, topped Alabama State 58-43 in the Opening Round game at Flyer Arena in Dayton, Ohio. The game was played in front of an Opening Round record crowd of 11,346; that crowd included many MSU fans who made the three hour drive from Morehead for the game. The Eagles season would come to three days later when they lost to No. 1 overall seed Louisville, despite playing the Cardinals close for a majority of the game. Among the coaching greats in men’s basketball have been Western Kentucky’s E.A. Diddle, who retired with 759 victories and 10 OVC titles; John Oldham, who was a member of the very first All-OVC squad and went on to win seven OVC crowns during his coaching tenure at Tennessee Tech and Western Kentucky; Paul McBrayer, who guided Eastern Kentucky to 219 wins and three OVC crowns; and Cal Luther, who is the only person in Conference history to win men’s basketball Coach of the Year honors at two league schools - Murray State and UT Martin. Current Austin Peay head coach Dave Loos ended the 2008-09 season with 314 victories, the most all-time at Austin Peay and second most in OVC history

86

(only four wins behind Luther). There have been an equal number of great players including Western Kentucky’s Clem Haskins, who is the only three-time OVC Player of the Year. Several players have won OVC Player of the Year honors twice: Western Kentucky’s Jim McDaniels (1969-70 and 1970-71), Murray State’s Les Taylor (1971-72, 1972-73), Jeff Martin (1987-88, 1988-89), Popeye Jones (1989-90, 1990-91) and Marcus Brown (1994-95, 1995-96), Austin Peay’s Otis Howard (1976-77, 1977-78), Middle Tennessee’s Jerry Beck (1980-81, 198182), Akron’s Joe Jakubick (1982-83, 1983-84) and Tennessee State’s Carlos Rogers (1992-93, 1993-94). The OVC also has the honor of being the only conference to boast the nation’s leaders in scoring, rebounding and assists all in one season. That feat was accomplished in 1991-92 by Morehead State’s Brett Roberts (28.1 ppg), Murray State’s Popeye Jones (14.4 rpg) and Tennessee Tech’s Van Usher (8.8 apg). In 2007-08, UT Martin guard Lester Hudson became the first men’s Division I player to record a quadruple-double in a game, when he registered 25 points, 12 rebounds, 10 assists and 10 steals in a victory over Central Baptist College. Hudson, who ranked fourth in scoring nationally as a junior, returned for his senior season in 2008-09 and was second nationally in scoring (behind Davidson’s Stephen Curry) at 27.5 points a contest. Hudson earned numerous honors (including OVC Player of the Year and OVC Male Athlete of the Year in each 2008 and 2009 and All-American status from several outlets) before being drafted by the Boston Celtics with the No. 58 pick of the 2009 NBA Draft. Hudson became the first draft pick for the league since 2004 and only the third pick of the last decade for the OVC. Many great players have graced the hardwood over the years, including former OVC Players of the Year Brooke Armistead and Gerlonda Hardin from Austin Peay, Pam Chambers, Jerilynn Harper, Cheryl Taylor, Angela Moorehead, Roschelle Vaughn, Diane Seng, Janet Holt and Emily Christian from Tennessee Tech; Morehead State’s Donna Murphy and Priscilla Blackford; Eastern Kentucky’s Kim Mays; Southeast Missouri’s Gray C. Harris; and most recently Murray State’s Ashley Hayes who was the OVC Player of the Year in 2007-08 and 2008-09. Over its 61 years, OVC teams have garnered national championships and bowl games in football, along with national team or individual titles in the sports of rifle, cross country, track and golf. The OVC has also produced several Olympic athletes, including Murray State’s Morgan Hicks, who was a member of the 2004 United States Olympic Rifle Team. In addition, some of the greatest players in professional sports were educated at OVC institutions. The list includes former greats such as football’s Phil Simms (Morehead State), basketball’s Clem Haskins (Western Kentucky) and Bubba Wells (Austin Peay) and two-sport star Steve Hamilton (Morehead State) to present-day standouts like basketball player Trenton Hassell (Austin Peay), football player Tony Romo (Eastern Illinois), baseball players Jamie Walker (Austin Peay) and George Sherrill (Austin Peay) and professional golfer Jeff Sluman (Tennessee Tech). Hamilton is the only athlete to ever play in the NCAA Basketball Championship, a Major League Baseball World Series (New York Yankees) and a NBA Championship Series (Los Angeles Lakers). A first in the OVC occurred in 2008, when the league had a first round draft pick in both the NFL (Tennessee State’s Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie) and Major League Baseball (Eastern Kentucky’s Christian Friedrich) Drafts in the same school year. A year later (2009) the league had a Major League Baseball First Round Compensation Round pick (Eastern Illinois’ Tyler Kehrer who was No. 48 overall) and NBA Second Round pick (UT Martin’s Lester Hudson) in the same season. Now in its seventh decade of competition, the Ohio Valley Conference has grown significantly from its humble beginnings while increasing the number of athletics opportunities it provides for students. Current league representatives include charter members Eastern Kentucky University, Morehead State University and Murray State University, along with Austin Peay State University, Eastern Illinois University, Jacksonville State University, Southeast Missouri State University, Southern Illinois University Edwardsville, Tennessee State University, Tennessee Technological University and the University of Tennessee at Martin.

Martin is located in the extreme northwest corner of Tennessee in Weakley County. The University of Tennessee at Martin is the only four-year public university outside of Memphis in West Tennessee. Martin is approximately 150 miles from Nashville and Memphis and one hour from Jackson and Paducah, Ky.

MARTIN AND... Martin is the home of the Tennessee Soybean Festival which is held the week after Labor Day in September each year. Martin also has multiple public parks, an excellent public library, a competitive school system and a community hospital. With a population over 10,000, Martin is a vibrant university town yet still maintains a rural, small-town ambience. In 1832, William Martin and his wife, Sarah Glass Martin moved to Weakley County where he settled his family. He became a leader in the tobacco industry and by his death in 1859 had secured the passage of an east-west railroad through his property in the county. When his family discovered the Mississippi Central Railroad planned a north-south line in the area in 1872 they offered the railroad free right-of-way across their property if they located the line on their property and offered to donate property for a park in what would be the center of Martin.

Northwest Tennessee encompasses eight rural counties: Lake, Obion, Weakley, Henry, Dyer, Gibson, Carroll and Benton. From Lake and Dyer counties bordering the great Mississippi River to Benton and Henry counties bordering the Tennessee River, Northwest Tennessee abounds in outdoor recreational activity opportunities. Lake and Obion counties are home to Reelfoot Lake State Park and two national wildlife refuge areas. Reelfoot Lake is the only natural lake in Tennessee and popular history says the lake was formed when the region subsided after the New Madrid earthquakes of 1811–1812, and that the Mississippi River flowed backward for 10-24 hours to fill it. Henry county is home to Paris Landing State Park located on the western shore of the Tennessee River which is dammed to form Kentucky Lake.

CHANCELLOR DR. TOM RAKES Dr. Tom Rakes became the ninth UT Martin Chancellor May 7, 2007, when University of Tennessee President Dr. John Petersen made the announcement. He began his new role July 1, 2007. Dr. Rakes joined UT Martin in 2002 as Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs and Professor of Educational Studies. He was named Provost in 2005. Dr. Rakes has identified eight specific areas of focus in the last several years. Increasing academic rigor and completion rates, reviewing levels of student and academic program services, refining the enrollment management plan, enhancing security measures and continuing to assess resource allocations are among his priorities. UT Martin’s role as a catalyst and resource in West Tennessee’s economic development is also an area of emphasis. This fall, UT Martin anticipates welcoming the most academically qualified class of new students in our history. Student services have been enhanced with the completion of eight new apartment-style residence halls during the past three years and should be further energized with the opening of the Student Recreation Center scheduled for January 2010. Several academic facilities have also recently benefited from construction activities which include an expansion of Brehm Hall, renovation of the Business Administration Building, the construction of the new Parsons Center, expansion of the Selmer/McNairy County Center, and the recently approved expansion project for construction of Phase One of the Fine Arts Building. Reflecting on the 2008-09 academic year, our list of accomplishments is impressive ranging from a record student enrollment, the second highest six-year graduation rate for public universities in Tennessee, our most successful donor support, topping $11 million, and state or regional recognitions for student groups in agriculture, business, chemistry, social work, education, journalism and broadcasting. We are honored to have received successful program reviews in Geosciences, French, Spanish and University Studies. UT Martin ranks as the largest single university provider of dual-enrollment programming to offer college-level course opportunities to students in more than 30 different high schools as well as a growing number of home-school students. We can also take pride in our athletic teams competing in NCAA and NIT post-season action in softball and men’s basketball, respectively. Our storied rodeo program fielded a team completing this season ranked ninth in the nation.
