A back and forth battle with the University of Tennessee at Martin left the Eastern Illinois men's basketball team 11 points short.
The Panthers are nine-and-10 overall after an 82-71 loss against the Skyhawks Thursday night, dropping them to one-and-five in the Ohio Valley Conference.
Eastern suffered a tough loss, but the night wasn't all bad as Montell Goodwin led Eastern's score with 20 points.
In response to Goodwin's good offense, UT Martin's, Javier Martinez snagged 10 rebounds for three straight lay ups that led to the Skyhawks victory.
EIU looks to snap a three-game losing streak tomorrow on another road test against Southeast Missouri.
