JONESBORO, Ark. – Davi Remagen went off for a career-best 30 points as the University of Tennessee at Martin men's basketball squad published a statement win tonight, 82-65 at Arkansas State.

The Skyhawks led by as many as 23 points and held the Red Wolves to 31 percent (22-of-71) shooting, including an 8-for-35 effort (22.9 percent) from three-point land. UT Martin hauled in 54 rebounds (19 offensive) and led for 35:35 of clock time against an Arkansas State squad who won 20 games last year and was picked to win the Sun Belt Conference in 2026-27.

A transfer from Georgia Tech, Remagen produced UT Martin's first 30-point performance since Jan. 30, 2025. He tossed in 23 points in the first half alone and finished 10-of-16 from the floor, including a 4-of-7 success rate from beyond the three-point arc. The sophomore from Köln, Germany also added five rebounds and a team-best four assists in 30 minutes of playing time.

Sasha Savkov (17 points, game-high nine rebounds), Ousseynou Sambe (12 points on 6-of-8 shooting, six rebounds in 16 minutes) and Kaan Onat (11 points, five rebounds, four assists in 21 minutes) also scored in double figures for the Skyhawks, who shot 9-of-14 from three-point range in the opening half.

The Red Wolves (1-2) were led by Layne Taylor's 18 points, six rebounds and five assists. Aaron McGee also contributed 15 points off the bench for Arkansas State.

Remagen buried a triple just 12 seconds into the game to help UT Martin take a 5-0 advantage but the Red Wolves came back to go on top by an 11-7 margin. Back-to-back Sambe dunks sparked the Skyhawks before three-pointers by Savkov and Vladimir Khryapa on consecutive trips down the floor gave the lead back to UT Martin. At one point, Remagen was responsible for 10 of the 12 Skyhawk points in a 2:26 span to help UT Martin stretch its lead out to double digits. Another Remagen trifecta with 30 seconds to go in the opening half gave the Skyhawks their biggest lead of the evening (54-31) before settling for a 20-point halftime advantage. The UT Martin duo of Remagen (23 points) and Savkov (13) outscored Arkansas State by themselves in the first half while Taylor's 11 points led the way for the Red Wolves.

Arkansas State began the second half on a 13-3 run, trimming the Skyhawk lead to 57-47 at the under-16-minue media timeout. Sambe responded right back with two straight tip-in dunks to flip the momentum back in favor of UT Martin as the Red Wolves would not get any closer than 14 points the rest of the way. An 8-0 Skyhawk run that lasted 100 seconds – capped off with a Remagen floater with 6:44 left to play – essentially erased any chance of an Arkansas State comeback and gave UT Martin another impressive nonconference road win in the third year of head coach Jeremy Shulman's tenure.

The Skyhawks will make their home debut on Friday, Nov. 13 as UT Martin hosts Champion Christian. Tipoff time from the Kathleen and Tom Elam Center is set for 6 p.m.
