(St. Louis, MO) – Heath Schroyer’s historical season continues. Thursday, UT-Martin’s first year coach led his team to the program’s first ever Division 1 postseason victory. A team that was 8-23 last year is now 19-12, after a convincing 104-79 triumph of Northwestern State.
Alex Anderson (30 points) led the offensive explosion splashing seven three-pointers, while three other teammates reached double figures in scoring. Deville Smith recorded a triple-double (21 points, 12 rebounds and 11 assists). Anderson’s 30 points were a career high, as were the rebound and assist totals for Smith.
The Skyhawks set a school record with 16 baskets from three-point distance, and moved on to the second round of the College Insider.com Tournament. They will take on USC Upstate on Saturday.
Ohio Valley Conference teams have won all four of their postseason games.

Good officiating in the @SEMOMBB/@SIUEMBB in a little late game dust up.
BTW, @LindenwoodWBB is 2-0. @CoachAmyEagan has that program headed the right direction.
