UT Martin Skyhawks basketball — program history

UT Martin's basketball program dates to 1928, and the school competes in the Ohio Valley Conference from the small town of Martin in rural west Tennessee. The Skyhawks have been a competitive OVC program with occasional tournament appearances.

The name

The Skyhawks name was adopted in 1995, replacing "Pacers," chosen to represent the freedom and power of a hawk soaring over the flat farmlands of west Tennessee.

Signature moment

Lester Hudson's quadruple-double on November 13, 2007 — 25 points, 12 rebounds, 10 assists, and 10 steals — the first and only quadruple-double in NCAA Division I men's basketball history.

UT Martin's Lester Hudson recorded the only quadruple-double in NCAA Division I men's basketball history, an almost impossibly rare statistical achievement.

The UT Martin Skyhawks compete in the Ohio Valley and hold an all-time record of 406–608 (.400 winning percentage) across 34 recorded seasons dating back to 1992-93.
