2/5/2024 7:59:00 AM | Women's Basketball
The University of Tennessee at Martin women's basketball team continues its season-long four-game road trip with a matchup against defending Ohio Valley Conference regular season champion Little Rock on Tuesday, Feb. 6. Tipoff from Jack Stephens Arena is scheduled for 5 p.m. and will be broadcast on ESPN+.
The Skyhawks (9-12, 6-4 OVC) posted a pair of impressive performances in the first half of the road trip after sweeping the weekend series against Eastern Illinois and SIUE with a pair of double-digit victories. After knocking off Eastern Illinois on Thursday evening by a 15-point margin, the Skyhawks took it up another level by securing a 75-46 win at SIUE.
UT Martin placed four players in double figures in the team's dominant win over SIUE – including a career performance for freshman Norah Clark who set new personal-bests with 29 points and nine rebounds in the contest. She was joined in double figures by Lexi Rubel (15 points, six rebounds), Anaya Brown (12 points, five rebounds) and Kenley McCarn (12 points, eight rebounds).
The contest features a pair of veteran head coaches in UT Martin's Kevin McMillan and Little Rock's Joe Foley. The tandem has combined to win 1,121 career games with McMillan ranking as the program's all-time wins leader with 274 victories while Foley has accumulated 847 victories – including 391 wins in his 20 seasons at Little Rock.
Little Rock (8-13, 7-3 OVC) enters the contest with a full-game lead over the Skyhawks in the league standings after winning three of its last four games. Last weekend, the Trojans split their road trip by suffering a 67-61 setback to SIUE before knocking off Eastern Illinois (55-48) by seven points on Saturday afternoon. The Trojans are led offensively by Faith Lee who paces the team with 15.2 points per game while Jayla Brooks is close behind with 9.9 points and 4.1 assists per night.
Thursday's contest marks the second meeting between the two programs this season with Little Rock coming away with a 57-48 road victory back on Jan. 13 in Martin. With the victory, Little Rock now leads the tightly contested all-time series by a 4-3 margin.
The game 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.
