UT MARTIN WOMEN’S HOOPS HITS THE ROAD FOR MATCHUP AT MOREHEAD STATE
1/17/2024 7:16:00 PM | Women's Basketball
The University of Tennessee at Martin women's basketball team will hit the road for the lone time in the month of January when traveling to Morehead State on Thursday, Jan. 18. Tipoff from Ellis T. Johnson Arena is scheduled for 4 p.m. central time and will be aired exclusively on ESPN+.
The Skyhawks (6-10, 3-2 OVC) split last week's OVC slate after knocking off Western Illinois (68-49) before falling to defending regular season champion Little Rock by a 57-48 margin last Saturday. UT Martin attempted a season-low 35 shots against the Trojans and committed 26 turnovers in the loss.
UT Martin features a pair of scorers averaging in double figures, led by the play of redshirt-freshman Kenley McCarn. The combo guard ranks third in the OVC with 15.6 points per game while pacing the league with 36.8 minutes play. Anaya Brown also averages in double figures with 13.8 points per game while adding 8.2 rebounds. Brown secured her fourth double-double of the season against Little Rock and is looking for another big game close to her hometown of Lexington, Ky. after securing a season-high 21 points in the team's visit last season.
Morehead State is 9-7 on the season while boasting a 4-1 record in OVC action. The Eagles feature three players which average double-digits in the scoring column on the season with Veronica Charles pacing the team with 11.6 points and 4.4 assists per game to rank third in the league. Katie Novik also ranks as one of the league's top passing distributors with 10.9 points and 4.2 assists per game (ranking fourth in the OVC). Hallie Rhodes sits as the team's third top scorer, chipping in 10.1 points per game.
Thursday's contest marks the 61st meeting between the two programs with UT Martin holding a 31-29 advantage in the all-time series. The Skyhawks had won eight straight against the Eagles – including a sweep of the 2022-23 regular season series – before the Eagles snapped their losing streak with a 70-68 upset in the first round of the 2023 OVC Basketball Championship.
The contest will be streamed exclusively on ESPN+ while local listeners can tune into the Skyhawk Sports Network to hear Chris Brinkley (play-by-play) and Davis Gregory (analyst) call the action live from courtside. Games are broadcast on WCMT "Talk and News You Can Use!" with simulcasts on 1410 AM, 100.5 FM, 92.7 FM, 96.1 FM, 99.7 FM and 103.3 FM.
