I think playing them at their place is going to be a tough chore for us. I’m hoping for an upset but realistically I am prepared for a loss. They are a top 3-4 team in our league and have some scoring power. I’ll say:
Martin. 81 USI. 72

But….from a pure talent standpoint this team should/could be the best in the league. Sears is as good or better than any PG in the league. The Crews kid is just a tough matchup and extremely skilled. Add in Mohammed at Center and you have 3 of the best individual players in this league. Now for some reason the parts aren’t all working together as a team. Which teams shows up tomorrow will determine the outcome. UTM 81 USI 70

I love the talent of UT- Martin, I'm surprised their record isn't better. They don't play particularly well as a team. I think USI will take a run at them. I will go UT- Martin 73 USI 69

Remember back in late summer when we thought we had lost Hasson to UT Martin and then found out it was actually Hussein?
Then we signed the Hasson we wanted and we plugged him in at the 4 spot next to Causwell for a huge front court. Its funny to look back to see what we thought was going to play out this year.
By the way, Hussein is on their roster but has not played a single minute this year so he may be red shirting.
I think we steal one tonight. UT Martin has been streaky with good wins and weird losses.
We will build off the confidence of our very nice win vs SIUE and use the empty gym on a Thursday night to pull off the upset.
USI wins by 1 point or more...

I do remember when we thought we lost Hasson to UT-Martin. I had felt so deflated. Boy, our expectations and his non performance this season have been at opposite ends.
I do think we could see an upset tonight.

UT-Martin projected Starters:
G 5’11 185 Jordan Sears (19.5 PPG) G 6’1 195 Desmond Williams (5.0 PPG) F 6’6 205 KK Curry (8.4 PPG) F 6’8 235 Jacob Crews (17.3 PPG) F 6’9 245 Issa Muhammad (11.3 PPG)
Their starting 5 is pretty good all around with Crews and Sears being their best players and shooters to watch. Curry, Muhammed, and Williams can also give fits, especially in the rebounding department. Decent FT shooting team overall, starters also keep their foul count pretty low. A lot of them play 30+ MPG, and they play about 9-10 deep in their games.

Looks like a scrimmage match no one is there Every time I have turned on one their games there is literally 100 or less fans in attendance. How in the hell does this coach get the talent he gets to go there?
