Free throws. Free throws have been hard to come by for the Panthers as of late, something that coach Jay Spoon- hour said the Panthers need more of. Well, that did not happen Thursday night, and the Panthers lost to Ten- nessee-Martin 82-71 in double overtime. Eastern shot just 11 free throws and connected on eight, but trips to the line were rare. In overtime, junior Ray Crossland was put at the line for a pair of free throws and missed both with a chance to tie the game at 64. Senior Demetrius McReynolds grabbed one of his nine rebounds to keep the Eastern possession alive ,and luckily for Eastern, junior Muu- sa Dama was sent back to the line and connected on both free throws to tie it up at 64. As for Tennessee-Martin, it shot 26 free throws and made 20 of them.
