MARTIN, Tenn. – With the 2020-21 NCAA Division I basketball season officially set to tip off this week, the University of Tennessee at Martin basketball programs are still finalizing their nonconference schedules.
"We are asking for patience at this time as both of our basketball staffs are working hard to fill out their remaining schedule," Skyhawk athletic director Kurt McGuffin said. "The scheduling landscape on a national and regional scale has literally changed daily over the last several weeks and with every decision we make, we want to keep the health and safety of our student-athletes as our top priority."
The UT Martin men's basketball team has had its originally scheduled Nov. 28 season opener against University of Health Sciences and Pharmacy (formerly known as St. Louis College of Pharmacy) postponed. The Skyhawks were set to host the Eutectics in their season opener for the second straight year.
The UT Martin men's program will now tentatively face Evansville on Wednesday, Dec. 2 in its 2020-21 season opener at the Kathleen and Tom Elam Center. The only other confirmed date so far is a Tuesday, Dec. 22 matchup at Ole Miss.
On the women's side, two nonconference games are confirmed. The Skyhawks will play at Samford on Dec. 8 before hosting Saint Louis at the Elam Center on Sunday, Dec. 13.
At this time, fans will not be allowed at any UT Martin nonconference home basketball game in 2020-21 with the exception of season ticket holders for the Dec. 2 men's contest against Evansville (7 p.m.) and the Dec. 13 women's contest against Saint Louis (1 p.m.). Season tickets were sold on a limited basis as no single-game or walkup day-of tickets will be sold. Season ticket holders will be allowed entry for UT Martin's Ohio Valley Conference games and are required to follow mask and social distancing requirements.
