UT Martin poured in the second-most points in a single game in school history (only two points short of the PROBABLE STARTING LINEUPS record set in 1986) while also coming up just shy of single-game program records with 50 fi eld goals made and 15 three-point fi eld goals made. MISSISSIPPI STATE UT MARTIN In the win over UC Clermont, Fatodd Lewis posted the seventh triple-double #0 Nick Weatherspoon #1 Matt hew Butler in the Division-I ranks this season with career-highs of 34 points, 16 rebounds 11.0 ppg, 2.6 rpg, 2.8 apg 17.3 ppg, 2.3 rpg, 3.2 apg and 12 assists. Freshman Parrish Hewitt pitched in career-highs of 29 points, six rebounds, six assists, four steals and three blocks as the duo became the fi rst pair #11 Quinndary Weatherspoon #4 Parrish Hewitt of Skyhawks to score at least 25 points in a game since Marquis Weddle (39) and 13.1 ppg, 5.8 rpg, 4.4 apg 7.1 ppg, 1.9 rpg, 1.5 apg Lester Hudson (28) accomplished the feat against Samford on March 4, 2008. UT Martin has lit up the scoreboard for 109.5 points per game in its last two #23 Tyson Carter #5 Terrence Parker outings after averaging 60.6 points over its previous fi ve contests. A big key to the 13.3 ppg, 2.6 rpg, 1.7 apg 5.5 ppg, 3.8 rpg, 0.6 apg Skyhawks’ recent success has been their accuracy from the charity stripe as UT Martin leads the Ohio Valley Conference in free throw percentage (.764). Mississippi State entered the week as one of seven unbeaten Division-I #24 Abdul Ado #11 Darius Thompson squads before falling at No. 25 Cincinnati by a 65-50 margin on Tuesday. Junior 6.4 ppg, 5.5 rpg, 0.1 apg 6.4 ppg, 1.7 rpg, 1.4 apg forward Aric Holman equaled his career-high with 18 points while also hauling in 10 rebounds for his fourth career double-double. Brothers Quinndary and Nick #35 Aric Holman #12 Fatodd Lewis Weatherspoon added 12 points apiece for the Bulldogs, who outrebounded the 11.8 ppg, 7.6 rpg, 0.6 apg 14.8 ppg, 9.1 rpg, 2.1 apg Bearcats but shot just 30.2 percent (19-of-63) for the contest. 1 ggameame 111:1: MMISSISSIPPIISSISSIPPI SSTATETATE • DDEC.EC. 1166 • HHUMPHREYUMPHREY CCOLISEUMOLISEUM 33-7-7 OOVERALLVERALL • 00-0-0 OOVCVC TTEAMEAM RROSTEROSTER Front Row (L to R): Lorenzen Wright, Jr., Darius Thompson, Delfi ncko Bogan, Matt hew Butler, Parrish Hewitt , Kahari Beaufort.
