Best Case: UT Martin's large newcomers aren't ready for D1 competition. Facing a lineup as short as them, the Warriors abuse the Skyhawks both inside and out. Deville Smith shows everyone why he had to run from UNLV to ensure playing time this season and bricks on his 6 3P attempts. Deonte makes SportsCenter's top 10 three times on three different dunks. Warriors run away with a 25+ point victory.

Worst Nightmare: The Warriors resemble more of the first half of the WLC game than the 2nd half. Carlino makes 2 three pointers after shooting 11 of them. UT Martin's bigs aren't good but are large enough to push around the smaller Warriors. Deville Smith looks like the high major PG he was by dishing out 6 dimes and nailing 3 treys. Deonte only makes SportsCenter's top 10 once. Warriors limp into a 5-7 point victory, reminding Scoopers of the New Hampshire game from a year ago. Blame goes to (insert PG here) because (insert backup PG here) would have been so much better.

Skyhawks is kind of a cool name.  Think we could be the Skychickens?

Know thy Enemy??  There is no need to cast the Skyhawks as an enemy.  We should embrace their starters.  Throw them a bar-b-que.  Give them a royal tour of campus.  And them hurry to be sure that they get to the BMO Center by halftime at the very latest.

Where did you get this info? I am not sure it's correct.

Do you honestly think I would leave a guy named Fatodd Lewis out of the cool names poll?
(It auto corrected to fat odd Lewis BTW)  ;D

I noticed Fatodd wasn't on the official roster. I see plenty of articles about him committing and couldn't find anything about him leaving. I also checked his twitter and he's still tweeting about UT Martin bball so I decided to go with it

So you have have someone who's not on the roster listed as a benchwarmer.  Quite a bold prediction. :P

They actually have a famous basketball record holder as one of their alums is the most recent (one of very few) basketball players in the NBA or NCAA to record a quadruple double.

I'm very pleased that a thread that is ostensibly about knowing one's enemy is titled with a misspelling of that enemy's name. If this is trolling I applaud you as a next level meta-troll.
