WHAT 2 WATCH 4
IPFW own's the eighth longest streak for hitting at least five 3-pointers in a game (26). IPFW's 6-2 start is the best in the program's short Division I history. IPFW's current five-game winning streak is also the program's longest in D-I history.
SCOUTING THE SKYHAWKS
UT Martin is led in scoring by senior guard Rueben Clayton (6-3/190/Memphis, TN) who is averaging 14.2 points a game. Freshman guard/forward combo Mike Liabo (6-6/195/Naples, FL) is second on the team in scoring at 13.2 ppg., while senior forward Benzor Simmons (6-5/215/Miami, FL) rounds out the top-three in scoring at 11.8 points a contest.
WHAT 2 WATCH 4
UT-Martin defends the 3-point arc, allowing opponents to hit just 29.2% of their attempts from long distance. IPFW lives by the triple, hitting 10 alone in the first half vs. Toledo and averaging nearly nine a game. This could be a major factor in which team wins this game.
