RE: Official Game Thread: UT-Martin
UT Martin is a different animal in December since former SoCon Freshman of the Year 6-2 190 Jr Preston Parks (Citadel transfer) became eligible. Since that time they are 2-1 with wins over Western Illinois and UNC-Asheville and a loss at Tulane. Parks is by far their best 3 point shooter averaging .467 with 2.0 makes, for 13.7 points per game. Second best is .333 ( 15.0 ppg 6-0 170 R-Sr Kevin Little). When they lost to Mercer, Parks was not yet eligible. Parks and Little are UT Martin’s 2 top scorers and they have only been on the floor together for 2 games (a win over UNC-Asheville and a loss at Tulane). They should both be playing tomorrow.
Overall 3-3 Tennessee Martin is rated #282 by Kenpom. Their wins are all at home: over non D1 Cumberland; by 2 points (92-90) at home over 4-5 Western Illinois (#218), and at home over 1-7 UNC-Asheville (#335). They’ve lost all 3 road games thus far: at #111 Western Kentucky (86-71), at #184 Mercer (77-60) and at #188 Tulane (86-74).
Kenpom has the #132 Bucs favored by 79-67. But I don’t know if they are really factoring in how the addition of Parks has improved them.
