Story: Skyhawk Guard Matthew Butler Named to 11-man Preseason All-OVC Squad
Two years ago, UT Martin finished first place in the West Division with a 10-6 record and advanced to the OVC Tournament Championship game for the first time while winning 20 overall games. Prior to last season, former associate head coach Anthony Stewart took over the head coaching duties and the program did not miss a step in once again going 10-6 in OVC play, advancing to the OVC title game for the second-straight year and finishing the season with 22 overall wins. Overall UTM reached the 20-win plateau for the third-straight season, a first in school history. This season Stewart has just four players returning from 2016-17. Among the returning players is Preseason All-OVC selection Matthew Butler who averaged 13.7 points, 3.7 assists and 2.9 rebounds/game after transferring from Rhode Island.
