MARTIN, Tenn. – The third straight road test for the University of Tennessee at Martin men's basketball team takes place tomorrow in the form of the Sun Belt Conference preseason favorite as the Skyhawks make the 140-mile drive to Arkansas State. Tipoff time from Jonesboro, Ark. is set for 7 p.m. on ESPN+.
This marks UT Martin's third visit to First National Bank Arena in the last decade as the two sides have split each of the last two meetings (70-64 Red Wolves win on Nov. 22, 2022, 92-78 Skyhawk victory on Dec. 5, 2017).
This game also marks the final leg of UT Martin's season-opening road swing as this is the first time that the Skyhawks began a season with three consecutive road games since the 2013-14 campaign.
What has been even more rare is UT Martin's close calls to begin the 2026-27 season as the Skyhawks (0-2) have fallen by a combined three points, including a double overtime setback at Tulane in the opener last Monday. UT Martin has only trailed for a combined 22:59 of clock time through its first two games as this is the only time in the 76-year history of the program that the first two decisions of a season has been decided by two points or less.
In the Skyhawks' 75-74 loss at IU Indy on Saturday, Davi Remagen (19 points) led the way in scoring for the second time in as many games. Vladimir Khryapa also established a new career-high with 14 points as UT Martin outshot the Jaguars (52.8 percent to 37.1 percent), outrebounded IU Indy by a 43-25 margin and registered a 46-20 advantage in points in the paint.
Coming off a 20-win season, Arkansas State (1-1) began 2026-27 with a thrilling 71-70 home victory over Toledo before a 101-86 loss at then-No. 18 Alabama on Saturday. Murray State transfer Layne Taylor poured in 20 points against the Crimson Tide as he and Tameron Ferguson (game-winning free throw with four seconds left against Toledo) were tabbed with Preseason All-Sun Belt accolades.
