UALR is 3-0 all-time vs. Tennessee-Martin

BURN THE HORSE
Friday's meeting between UALR and Tennessee-Martin will be the fourth all-time between the programs. UALR has won the previous three.

The last meeting came on Nov. 25, 2006, as the Trojans sweated out a 58-56 victory over the Skyhawks at the Jack Stephens Center. Rashad Jones-Jennings led UALR with 15 points and 13 rebounds. But it was a late Trojans rally that won the game. UALR trailed at halftime and still by seven points late. But a 10-0 run by UALR allowed the Trojans to take a 51-48 lead. UALR then made enough free throws to hold on and improve to 4-2 on the season.

The other two meetings both came in the 1992-1993 season and featured a UALR freshman by the name of Derek Fisher.

Playing at Barton Coliseum, UALR won 88-58 on Dec. 16, 1992. Tony Chime led UALR with 24 points while Fisher had 6 points and 3 assists.

In the rematch on Feb. 20, 1993, in Martin, Tenn., UALR won 81-67. Derrick Hall led the Trojans with 27 points while Fisher had 4 points and 2 rebounds.

UALR opens the 2012-2013 season against Tennessee-Martin at 7 p.m. on Friday at the Jack Stephens Center.
