COOKEVILLE, Tenn. -- Tennessee Tech basketball fans will focus
their attention on the small west Tennessee town of Martin Saturday
afternoon when the Golden Eagle women's and men's teams face the UT
Martin Skyhawks in an Ohio Valley Conference doubleheader. The
women's game tips off at 4 p.m., while the men's contest is slated
for 6 p.m.
The Tech women had won two-in-a-row before dropping a contest
Thursday night at league-leading UT Martin. The Golden Eagles waged
an outstanding battle against the Lady Racers before falling. Now,
head coach Amy Brown is hoping for a similar solid effort against
the Skyhawks to give her team a sweep of the season series. Tech
beat the UTM women, 63-56 in Eblen Center a month ago.
Later that evening in Cookeville, the UTM Skyhawk men's team
claimed an 83-72 win over coach Mike Sutton's squad. Tech comes
into Saturday's game at UTM hoping to snap a four-game losing
streak, while the Skyhawks are just a half-game out of first place
with a 10-3 league worksheet. Tech fell at Murray State Thursday
night, 73-52, and brings a 5-10 OVC record into the contest.
