Childs has been a mainstay in UT Martin s lineup so far this season, as he not only leads the team but also the Ohio Valley Conference in minutes played (37.8 per game). The 6-4 lightning quick slasher is coming off the best game of his career, registering 21 points, nine rebounds, six assists, two steals and two blocks in 50 minutes in the triple overtime thriller against Arkansas State on Friday. The versatile combo guard leads the team with 16 assists, half of which came against Fontbonne on Nov. 14. Childs also paces the Skyhawks in steals (eight) while hitting 91.7 percent of his free throw attempts (11-for-12). SETTING THE STAGE: The University of Tennessee at Martin men s basketball team closes out its three-game homestand tonight when it takes on the Lyon College Scots at the Kathleen and Tom Elam Center. The Skyhawks are coming off a heartbreaking triple overtime loss against Arkansas State last Friday. In a game that featured 17 lead changes and 15 ties, neither team led by more than six points the entire way. Justin Childs tallied 21 points, nine rebounds and six assists while Myles Taylor racked up his second straight double-double (18 points, 11 rebounds) for UT Martin. An NAIA school out of Batesville, Ark., Lyon College is coming off its fifth straight loss - a decision at Victory University last night. The Scots were led in scoring by Slater Belew, who tossed in 19 points on 8-for-10 shooting. Jordan McAllister (16 points), Devonte Young (16) and Jordan Layrock (13) also cracked double-figures for Lyon College. The Scots faced Ohio Valley Conference member Southeast Missouri last week, falling Marcus Humose s 20 points and Jordan Layrock s 18 points and 10 rebounds paced Lyon College.

6 Jason James Head Coach Fourth Season at UT Martin Fourth Season Overall Graceland, 2000 Jason James has been at the helm of The University of Tennessee at Martin men s basketball program since After spending seven seasons as an assistant coach at The University of Tennessee at Martin, including the role of associate head coach during the Ohio Valley Conference championship season, James was named the program s eighth head coach on June 5, James, a native of St. Louis, Mo., is one of the nation s youngest NCAA Division-I men s basketball head coaches, but his experience in the UT Martin program has prepared James for the challenge. This has always been my goal, ever since I was 10, the 35-year-old James said. My dad introduced me to basketball and he always coached me and my brothers. He had such a joy in coaching that he made me want to coach and influence young men just like he did. In , UT Martin faced a tough schedule that included 10 games against eight eventual teams who made the postseason, including NCAA Tournament teams Louisville (Final Four), Ohio (Sweet 16), Murray State (round of 32) and Lamar (round of 68). The Skyhawks posted a 4-27 overall record but eight losses were by single-digits, including a loss to No. 9 Murray State on Feb. 4. During the campaign, James coached OVC Freshman of the Year Myles Taylor. Taylor also earned OVC All-Newcomer accolades after taking home the league s Freshman of the Week award five times during the season. The Skyhawks soared to several new heights as a program in , tripling their win output from the previous season and winning their first OVC tournament game in Nashville in program history. UT Martin s success was atrributed to a steady blend of veterans and one of the most accomplished recruiting classes in program history. Senior Benzor Simmons led the team in scoring and became the program s 15th member of the 1,000 Point Club on Jan. 24, 2011 at SIU Edwardsville. The recruiting class all blossomed as well, as three Skyhawk freshmen combined to take home eight adidas OVC Freshman of the Week awards. That marked only the third time that one university has earned that many mentions in a single season since the league started giving out the award in the season. After five losses by single-digits in five of their first 16 games in including a narrow six-point loss at Tennessee on Dec. 29 the Skyhawks began clicking around midseason of the OVC schedule, reeling off a four-game win streak from Jan. 15 through Jan. 24. A month later, the Skyhawks clinched a spot in the OVC tournament with a dominating victory on the road against Eastern Illinois. In its OVC tournament opener, UT Martin earned a hard-fought victory over Tennessee State before falling to Tennessee Tech the eventual league runner-up Despite a 4-25 record, James posted several positives during his debut season as bench leader at UT Martin in against arguably one of the toughest schedules in the history of the program. In his ratings for the first week of December, noted college basketball journalist Ken Pomeroy ranked the Skyhawks as having the fourth-toughest non-conference strength of schedule in NCAA Division-I. The Skyhawks wound up playing up nine games against six teams that made the postseason in Despite the quality of opponents, seven of the team s losses were by 10 points or less as the Skyhawks battled injuries and was forced to play

7 players out of position. A bit of history occured in late December of 2009, as the Skyhawks earned back-to-back Ohio Valley Conference Player of the Week accolades for just the second time in school history. Off the court, James players and staff go the extra mile to benefit the local community. The basketball team regularly organizes a team for the West Weakley County Relay for Life every June, raising thousands of dollars. The Skyhawks also fought the ongoing battle with cancer through the Coaches vs. Cancer Suits and Sneakers event at home against Murray State in 2010 in a nationally-televised game on ESPN-U. In that collaboration, fans made donations for each three-pointer the team made in the month of January. Under James, the Skyhawks have also been involved in the Character Counts program in the Weakley County schools, the D.A.R.E program, and the Boys and Girls clubs in Union City. Over his tenure at UT Martin as an assistant coach, James was directly responsible in the recent resurgance of the Skyhawk program over the last several seasons. Since his first season on the Skyhawk bench in 2002, James has coached seven of UT Martin s 15 all-time 1,000 point scorers. He also recruited two of UT Martin s all-time great Division-I players in Jared Newson and Lester Hudson. Newson ranks fourth in all-time program history in points scored after playing just three seasons with the Skyhawks. Newson ranks in the top-10 in seven different all-time career UT Martin categories, including points (1,347, fourth), field goals made (452, fifth), field goals attempted (1,016, fifth), free throws made (378, second), free throws attempted (526, first), rebounds (535, seventh), blocks (43, 10th) and steals (128, seventh). After he exhausted his eligibility at UT Martin, Newson attended training camp with the Dallas Mavericks before becoming an overseas fan favorite for his acrobatic slam-dunks in Germany. In Hudson, James found a diamond in the rough that became one of the best all-around players in the NCAA and eventually would be chosen by the Boston Celtics in the 2009 NBA Draft. In Hudson s collegiate debut, he torched eventual national runnerup Memphis for 35 points, but the legend of Hudson was just getting started. Just eight days later, Hudson grabbed national headlines when he became the first-ever NCAA Division-I men s basketball player to record a quadruple-double (25 points, 12 rebounds, 10 assists, 10 steals) vs. Central Baptist on Nov. 13, Later that season, Hudson became the first-ever UT Martin player to be named an All-American since the program joined the Division-I ranks in That season, James helped guide the Skyhawks to a school-record for OVC wins in one season (11), as UT Martin won the OVC regular season championship for the first time ever. The Skyhawks also hosted and won a first-round OVC Tournament game for the first time in UT Martin history, before falling to eventual-tournament champion Austin Peay by a single point (78-77). In that season the Skyhawks broke or tied 12 team and individual game/season records, including most wins in a single season (22), and longest winning streak (11 games from Jan. 10 through Feb. 18). After winning its first-ever OVC regularseason championship, the Skyhawks earned a trip to the National Invitation Tournament (NIT), the first postseason appearance for a UT Martin team in its brief Division-I history. In that game, the Skyhawks hung tough with SEC member Auburn on Auburn s home floor before falling James coaching philosophy is simple: play the game the right way and the rest will fall into place. I tell the guys all the time performance counts, James said. Everybody is judged on their performance, rather that s fair or not. If we can show up and perform night in and night out, the wins and losses will take care of themselves. Our program is going to compete, fight, scratch and claw for 40 minutes. Off the court, James is an intense scholar of the game. He spends countless hours watching tape, studying other coaches and reading books about all phases of the game of basketball. James came to UT Martin from Forest Park Community College in St. Louis, Mo., where he was an assistant men s basketball coach for two years. The team finished second in the region James first year, and many FPCC players during James tenure went on to play Division I and Division II basketball. Before his stint at Forest Park, James taught physical education and health for one year at Ritenour Middle School in St. Louis, while also coaching a high school all-star team from the state of Michigan that placed third out of 54 teams at the USA Junior Nationals. James earned his bachelor s degree in physical education and health with a coaching endorsement from Graceland University in Lamoni, Iowa in For two seasons he served as captain of the Graceland University basketball team. He was voted Graceland Freshman Basketball Player of the Year for the season and was named the team s MVP during the season. In the fall of 2010, James was enshrined in the fourth class of the Parkway Alumni Association Hall of Fame, as he was recognized for his contributions since graduating from Parkway West High School in St. Louis in James married the former Dani Walker of Oxford, Miss. in May 2010 and the couple has two daughters, Sadie and Claire.

The Skyhawks have taken on Lyon (15-6) the most, followed by Missouri Baptist (3-2), Columbia (1-0), Harris- Stowe (1-0), William Woods (1-0) and Williams Baptist (0-1). UT Martin has never faced AMC teams Benedictine-Springfield, Hannibal-LaGrange or Park. UT MARTIN SWIPING STEALS The Skyhawk defense has generated at least eight steals in three games this year, including back-to-back 13 steal performances (at Cincinnati, against Fontbonne). UT Martin only had seven games of eight or more steals in 31 games last season. TRIPLE OVERTIME... AGAIN UT Martin s loss to Arkansas State on Nov. 16 was the third triple overtime game the Skyhawks had played in the last six years (lost at Tennessee Tech on Jan. 13, 2011; won over Samford on March 4, 2008). SKYHAWKS PICK UP FIRST WIN UT Martin tightened up its defense in the second half en route to its first victory QUICK HITS of the season on Nov. 14, an win against Fontbonne.

UTM FORCES TURNOVERS IN BUNCHES AT NO. 24 CINCINNATI Despite UT Martin s loss at No. 24 Cincinnati on Nov. 11, the Skyhawks forced the Bearcats into 19 turnovers. SUCCESSFUL HOMECOMING FOR A PAIR OF SKYHAWKS AT UALR The season opener against Arkansas-Little Rock served as a homecoming of sorts for senior Jeremy Washington and sophomore Myles Taylor, who both call Little Rock their hometowns. In front of approximately 50 friends and family members, the Skyhawk duo put on a show - combining for exactly half of UT Martin s total points (34 of 68). Taylor scored a game-high 24 points in 26 minutes while Washington compiled 10 points in 16 minutes off the bench. UTM HITS TRIPLE-DIGITS IN EXHIBITION VICTORY The Skyhawk offense was clicking on all cylinders in the LIABO COUNTDOWN TO 1,000 POINTS POINTS AWAY Junior swingman Mike Liabo is only 137 points shy of becoming UT Martin s 16th member of the prestigious 1,000 Point Club. The 6-6 southpaw has been one of the most prolific scorers in the Ohio Valley Conference in his UT Martin career. He has cracked double-figures in the scoring column in 52 of his 67 career games, eclipsing the 20-point mark on seven different occasions. Liabo ranks seventh in Skyhawk history in three-point field goals made, as he has drained 126 trifectas in his illustrious career. exhibition win over Illinois College on Nov. 2, tallying 109 points. UT Martin connected on exactly half of its field goal attempts (42-for-84), including a remarkable 66.7 percent effort from beyond the three-point arc (16-for- 24). The Skyhawks also handed out 27 assists against only eight turnovers. To put those numbers in perpective, UT Martin s alltime record for three-pointers made is 15 against Morehead State on Dec. 17, The last time that UT Martin posted 100 or more points in the Kathleen and Tom Elam Center was on Nov. 14, 2008 in a win over Maryville. The last time that the Skyhawks handed out at least 27 assists was in the same game against Maryville (exactly 27 assists). TAYLOR LOOKS TO GROW IN YEAR TWO Last season, Myles Taylor took the Ohio Valley Conference by storm, earning OVC Freshman of the Year accolades as well as a spot on the All-Newcomer squad. Taylor led all OVC freshmen in scoring (13.7 points per game), rebounds per game (5.2) and blocks per game (0.8) while closing out his season with 21 games of double-figures scoring. SKYHAWKS ADD A PAIR TO COACHING STAFF The Skyhawks have added two new faces to the coaching staff in Lance Egnatz (assistant coach) and Mark Halsell (graduate assistant). Egnatz has served as the top assistant at Lincoln Memorial University in Harrogate, Tenn. for the past four seasons while Halsell recently completed his playing career at Park University in Parksville, Mo., also playing for one season ( ) at the University of Kentucky under former coach Billy Gillispie. OVC OFFICIALLY ADDS BELMONT, ANNOUNCES DIVISIONAL PLAY The addition of Belmont University on July 1, 2012 gave the OVC 12 member institutions, the largest the Conference has been since it was formed in 1948 (the OVC is currently the nation s eighth-oldest Division I conference). With that said, the OVC has adopted divisional play for the first time ever. UT Martin is paired in the West division with Austin Peay, Eastern Illinois, Murray State, SIU Edwardsville and Southeast Missouri, while the East division features the likes of league newcomer Belmont, Eastern Kentucky, Jacksonville State, Morehead State, Tennessee State and Tennessee Tech. Each team will play a home-and-home series with teams from its divisions, while facing the teams from the opposite division once during conference play. Some of the factors in determining the divisions included geography and balance while also being mindful of matchups and rivalries (both current and future).

Taylor finished with a game-high 24 points for UT Martin, while Washington tallied 10 points in 16 minutes off the bench. The duo playing in front of approximately 50 members of family and friends helped the Skyhawks lead by five points late in the first half and get within five points with under 4:30 remaining in the game before the Trojans closed out the game on a 16-5 run. Terence Smith also cracked double-figures with 10 points to go along with six assists and five rebounds for the Skyhawks, who hit 84.6 percent of their free throw attempts (21-for-24). Arkansas-Little Rock was led by 22 points by John Gillon and 18 points by James White off the bench. Will Neighbour (13 points, 13 rebounds) and Taggart Lockhart (10 points) also reached double-digits in the scoring column for the Trojans.

The Skyhawk defense stood strong early (forcing five missed shots and four turnovers in the first four minutes), but Cincinnati used runs of 14-0 and 17-0 in the first half to create some separation. Senior Jeremy Washington led the Skyhawks with 15 points and six rebounds, cracking double-figures for the second time in as many games this season. Myles Taylor (six rebounds) and Mike Liabo (team-high three assists) added 12 points each while Justin Childs scored 10 points in a game-high 36 minutes for UT Martin (0-2), who recorded 13 steals and outscored the host Bearcats in the second half.

UT Martin led at the half but picked up the defensive intensity at the beginning of the second half, holding the Griffins without a field goal for 7:15 early on in the second stanza. The stingy defensive effort allowed the Skyhawks to build as much as a 28-point lead in the second half. Junior Bobby Jones led UT Martin in scoring, tossing in a game-high 26 points on 11-of-17 shooting to go along with eight rebounds and five steals in 26 minutes. Myles Taylor collected his fifth career double-double (17 points, 11 rebounds), Mike Liabo added 11 points off the bench and Justin Childs dished out a game-high eight assists for the Skyhawks, who scorched the net for 59.4 percent (19-for-32) shooting in the last 20 minutes. For Fontbonne, Greg Gentry scored 16 points while Jared Greenlee (12 points) and Blake Welch (10) also cracked double-figures in the scoring column for the Griffins, who were held to 20.8 percent shooting (5-for-24) in the second half.

In a game that featured 17 lead changes and 15 ties, no team took more than a six point lead at any point in the contest. An 18-foot jumper by UT Martin s Jeremy Washington with 0.3 seconds remaining in regulation sent the game into overtime, while Arkansas State s Ed Townsel hit a 25-foot off-balance banked-in three-pointer with 2.2 seconds left in the first overtime to extend the action. After neither team scored in the second overtime, the Red Wolves outscored the Skyhawks 12-8 in triple overtime. Junior guard Justin Childs led the way for UT Martin, compiling career-highs of 21 points and nine rebounds to go along with six assists, two blocks and two steals in 50 minutes. Myles Taylor picked up his second consecutive double-double (18 points, 11 rebounds) for the Skyhawks, who also received outstanding efforts out of Washington (eight points, careerhigh 11 rebounds) and Dee Oldham (careerhighs of nine points, seven rebounds). Townsel led Arkansas State with 19 points off the bench, while Brandon Peterson (13 points) and Trey Finn (12 points) also cracked doublefigures for the Red Wolves, who won despite shooting just 26.7 percent from the floor (4-for- 15) in the three overtime periods.
