The Tennessee-Martin Skyhawks come to Lincoln riding a three-game winning streak following a 74-56 win over Bethune-Cookman on Tuesday night. In that game, UT-Martin put three players in double figures, led by Myles Taylor, who had 16 points and nine rebounds. Twymond Howard added 13 points and seven boards, while Marshun Newell added 15 points. The Skyhawks are coached by Heath Schroyer, who had previous stops at Portland State and Wyoming before spending the last three seasons as an assistant at UNLV. Schroyer helped Wyoming to a CBI appearance and 19 wins during the 2008-09 season.

The Skyhawks, who compete in the Ohio Valley Conference, are 2-1 on the road with the lone loss being at Marquette in the season opener. UTM is averaging 81.8 points per game and is out-rebounding teams by 12.8 caroms per outing. Senior forward Myles Taylor is the Skyhawks’ top performer, as the preseason All-OVC selection is averaging 12.8 points and a team-high 8.3 rebounds per game. Taylor was a teammate of Husker senior David Rivers at Hall High School, as the pair led Hall to a pair of state titles in Arkansas. Junior college transfer Twymond Howard is UT-Martin’s leading scorer at 14.8 points per game while averaging 6.3 rebounds per game. In all, four players are averaging double figures for the Skyhawks.
