In the if anyone cares department, 0-6 UT-Martin picked up their first win of the season rather easily, 94-82 over the Lady Aces. The game really wasn't even that close as UT-Martin had a lead as large as 27 points in the 3rd quarter before playing the bench in the 4th. Did I mention that Martin was previously winless?
Admittedly, I haven't followed the team very closely this year, but something is obviously amiss. I think I have brought this up before, but I am wondering how much the abrupt departure of Kara Carlson last season is impacting this team? That first season, she was a very active assistant during the games. I also believe she was the lead recruiter. Having a good assistant can make or break a program, especially during an early rebuild. I just get the impression that departure wasn't a positive one and could be impacting things.
Back to Martin, they have a veteran coach in Kevin McMillan. Some of you may remember his hilarious post-game interview during the last OVC Tournament in Nashville. He brought in that morning's Nashville paper, and went through it looking for OVC Tournament coverage. I remember at the time, Murray fans felt like that was the final nail to get the league office to seriously consider moving it to Evansville.
