Panthers not the only opponent Saturday as Tech women set for ThinkPink / Play4Kay contest

As Tennessee Tech women’s basketball suits up for Saturday’s contest against Eastern Illinois, it won’t be in the traditional colors of Purple and Gold. Instead, with their minds on those in their lives affected by cancer as the team hosts its annual ThinkPink and Play4Kay game, the Panthers won’t be the only thing the Golden Eagles are looking to defeat. Tipoff from the Eblen Center is at 1 PM Saturday. Saturday’s game will honor those who have been affected by all forms of cancer, as every member of the Golden Eagle women’s basketball program will be playing, coaching or serving in honor of someone dear to them who has been impacted by the disease.

Tech women win 500th in the Eblen Center, top UTM

COOKEVILLE, Tenn. – It was a milestone nearly 50 years in the making on Saturday as the Tennessee Tech women’s basketball collected its 500th victory in the Hooper Eblen Center, topping UT Martin 74-62. Dating all the way back to the first season in the Eblen Center in 1977-78 and now 49 seasons later, the Golden Eagle women have defended their home court well with a 500-172 record and a .744 winning percentage at home. It wasn’t easy, though, as UT Martin kept it close in the first quarter, then outscored the Golden Eagles 18-10 in the second to take a 33-28 advantage. Tech countered with a 13-4 run to open the second half and outscored the Skyhawks 23-10 in the third. The Golden Eagles extended their lead with a 23-19 fourth quarter to cruise to their 26th straight win in at home to extend their program-best streak in progress.
