Date Change
This weekend's Ohio Valley Conference basketball doubleheader between Southeast and UT Martin was moved to Sunday, a day later than the teams were initially supposed to meet. Administrators from both institutions agreed to move the game after there were transportation concerns due to the threat of impending bad weather in Martin, Tennessee.
