(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.

Three more road wins so far in @ValleyHoops as @BradleyUMBB @BelmontMBB & @UIC_MBB capture road wins. Looks like @DrakeBulldogsMB will do so too. #FatherHarry
Well @RacersWBB followed the men's example and swept Iowa in the @ValleyHoops race! Racers are 6-1 & if @BelmontWBB holds on to their Iowa sweep, the Bruins and Racers will be tied for first. What a trip for those two teams! #FatherHarry
After today's action, @EIUWBB is 8-0 in @OVCSports play. 4 teams @usiwbb @TTUWBB @LRTrojans @LindenwoodWBB are tied at 6-2. Six other teams are under .500. Great race to the finish lies ahead. #FatherHarry
Really entertaining game between @BelmontMBB & @UEAthletics_MBB. Under four minutes left in a one point game. Gabriel Pozzato back in the Aces' lineup. Rogers is playing like I've expected. Triples are dropping. It's fun and @kylejpeach bringing it on #ThePlus #FatherHarry
