The Skyhawks (6-5) are coming off their best three-point performance in school history, sinking 17 of their 32 attempts from beyond the arc for a whopping 53.1 percent clip in a 103-75 win over Bethel on Tuesday. Seven different players accounted for at least one trey for UT Martin as Parker Stewart led the way with seven 3-pointers - tying a career-high in that category. Stewart (game-high 23 points), KJ Simon (22 points), KK Curry (15 points, 10 rebounds, career-best four steals) and Jordan Sears (11 points, season-highs of 7 assists, 5 assists and 2 blocks) led the way for the Skyhawks.
Over the last four games, UT Martin has nailed 43.5 percent (47-for-108) of its tries from three-point land. Stewart (20-of-36) and Simon (9-for-19) have combined to swish 52.7 percent of their 55 long range attempts over that span. Stewart is averaging 22.8 points per contest while Simon is responsible for a 19.3 points-per-game scoring average over the last four outings.
Curry has also excelled over the last four games, averaging 10.5 points, 6.8 rebounds and a team-best 2.5 steals while shooting 60.9 percent (14-of-23) from the floor.
Bowling Green (4-6) fell 81-75 at Norfolk State on Wednesday night, snapping a two-game winning streak. The Falcons led 38-34 at the halftime break but Norfolk State doubled up Bowling Green by a 48-24 margin in points in the paint.
