INDIANS EXPLODE IN SECOND HALF TO PUSH PAST SKYHAWKS
UT-Martin Skyhawks (0-4) @ Arkansas St. Indians (3-3)
11/29/07 - Jonesboro, AR: After being tied at halftime, Arkansas State would not be denied scoring 49 second half points leading to a 75-69 victory over UT-Martin.
"It's just frustrating because there were things that we could and should have done better" said coach Walls, "We let Banks get loose especially in the first half and then in the second half we were awful in the paint. They had something like 40 points in the paint. Also, we did a horrible job on the boards in the second half."
UT-Martin struggled out of the locker room in the second half giving up a 7-0 run to the Indians.
"We were playing catch-up the whole second half. Robinson got in foul trouble so he didn't have the impact that I'm sure he wanted. Then when we got to the line, we just didn't hit free throws. It's hard knowing we let this one slip but we will learn from it and put it behind us."
The Skyhawks have a quick turnaround as they travel up to New Jersey to play Saint Peter's in just two days.
