No. 8 Tech men visit No. 1 UT Martin Tuesday to get tournament underway

Posted: Mar 02, 2009

COOKEVILLE, Tenn. -- Tennessee Tech won a huge game on the final day of the regular season, lifting the Golden Egales into the 2009 Ohio Valley Conference Men's Basketball Tournament.

Now, the Golden Eagles face another imposing obstacle: Tech is on the road Tuesday night hoping to upset the tournament's No. 1 seed, the UT Martin Skyhawks. Fans who don't attend the game can follow the action in two ways -- listen to the broadcast on the Golden Eagle Sports Network via the radio, Internet or telephone, or watch the live web stream on OVCsports.TV.
