UT Martin (3-6) slides down I-29 after a 75-36 stomping by SDSU. UT Martin was picked to finish second in the OVC behind Tennessee Tech.
The Yotes (4-6) look to end a 5 game skid with their final game of the non-conference slate.
Not sure how this game will go, but lets end the non-con slate with a win.

Hopefully the Yotes embrace the opportunity and put together 40 minutes of solid basketball before conference season. |

Massey has us winning 66-53.
Warren N has us winning 68-61.
I think Massey uses a bit too much data from the previous year in their early-season numbers. At this point I just want to see some consistency, good ball movement on offense and better cohesion and effort on defense. If all of that happens I think we can't help but win. This needs to be a confidence-builder.

Game time is moved up to 3:30 pm, just an FYI. Hopefully the ladies are ready to put forth a solid effort today.

Keys to the game as alluded to by Kiyoat:
- limit turnovers
- increase defensive intensity (especially if shots stop falling)
- play as a team on both fronts
- play the game for all 4 quarters
This team has, IMO, not yet proven to us that they’re a team but rather a group of individuals and coaches all playing the same game. Hopefully that changes today.

I watched a few minutes of their game in Brookings. They only had 8 players available due to injury/sickness. Leading scorer is a freshman but she's out with a stress fracture.

I think they just need something to go right for them today so they get a little bit of confidence. Hit some 3's or make some steals - something.

Their second leading scorer is also a freshman. She had foul trouble the first half. She is their 6'2" forward who moves fairly well. If they are currently picked 2nd in the OVC, the bar is a bit lower for the first team OVC squad. They depend on 3 point shots and slowing the pace with their shorter bench. UT-Martin has a couple shooters who could not shake the defense. They have only 10 players on the season box score. They may need to pull a redshirt as 3 freshmen have not played this year. |

Does our team know that halftime starts AFTER the second quarter? I swear they play like the 2nd quarter is the halftime break.

If Robins was conscious, we'd be up by 10. |

The one thing we have succeeded so far in doing this season is make objectively average or below teams look incredibly better than they are.

Wow...this UT Martin is bad, unfortunately, we are worse.
