What to Know

The UT Martin Skyhawks have enjoyed the comforts of home their last two games, but now they must head out on the road. UT Martin and the SIU-Edwardsville Cougars will face off in an Ohio Valley battle at 8 p.m. ET on Thursday at First Community Arena. Given that both teams suffered a loss in their last game, they both have a little extra motivation heading into this matchup.

The Skyhawks came up short against the Tennessee State Tigers on Saturday, falling 69-61.

Meanwhile, SIU-Edwardsville has to be aching after a bruising 76-47 loss to the SE Missouri State Redhawks on Monday.

Barring any buzzer beaters, UT Martin is expected to win a tight contest. But bettors beware: they are only 1-3 against the spread when favored.

UT Martin didn't have too much breathing room in their game with SIU-Edwardsville in the teams' previous meeting last month, but they still walked away with a 76-70 win. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Skyhawks since the team won't have home-court advantage. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
