We work very well together. With his excellent contacts, he will do an outstanding job leading our athletic department into its bright future.

It is an opportunity that I do not take for granted, and I will work hard every day to ensure that we continue to be successful, both in the classroom and on the fields and courts of competition.” During his term as interim and Athletic Director, the JSU football team has enjoyed a rise to national prominence.

This is Jacksonville State

THE HISTORY From modest beginnings, Jacksonville State University has evolved into the educational center of Northeast Alabama. The Alabama Legislature in the 1882-83 session created a state normal school when Governor Edward O’Neal signed into law a bill creating the school on February 22, 1883. Jacksonville State Normal School acquired the facilities and equipment of Calhoun College, consisting of 12 acres of land and a two-story brick building. The Board of Directors elected James G. Ryals, Jr., as the first president. The school opened with three instructors: W. J. Borden, Mathematics; Eliza A. Bowen, English; and Ida J. Woodward, primary department. As stipulated in the establishing act, the Normal School administered a preparatory school for children of the town and surrounding areas. At the end of the first year, on August 15, 1884, William Mark Hames, President of the Board of Directors, reported that funds totaling $4,751.25 had been received, including $2,500 from the state; that 25 students were enrolled in the normal school; and that 222 were in the preparatory school. The Normal School remained in operation until 1930, when it became Jacksonville State Teachers College. Five years later, the College earned regional accreditation from the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools. The name again changed to Jacksonville State College in 1957

when the first graduate program—the master’s degree in elementary education—was created. On August 2, 1966, the Legislature authorized the State Board of Education to elevate the College to university status. On August 17, 1967, the Legislature established an independent Board of Trustees for the University and divested jurisdiction from the State Board of Education.

Ray Harper On April 6, 2016, Gamecocks athletics director Greg Seitz announced the hiring of Ray Harper as the program’s 11th head coach and the fifth to run the Gamecocks at the Division I level. “We are thrilled to have Ray Harper take over our men’s basketball program,” Seitz said. “He is a winner and has proven that at every stop he has made in his coaching career. We feel fortunate to be able to land a coach with his credentials at Jacksonville State.” A veteran with over 30 years of coaching experience at the collegiate ranks, Harper takes the reigns in Jacksonville with a 431-127 career record in 17 years as a head coach. That career includes four national championships - two at the Division II level and two in NAIA. “I’m excited about the opportunity,” Harper said before meeting with his team for the first time. “We are going to work extremely hard and we are going to be about winning championships. We know it’s going to be a lot of work, but we are ready to get started.”

took over as the Hilltoppers’ interim coach in January of the 2011-12 season and was named the full-time head coach in early February. At WKU, he went to the NCAA Tournament in 2012 and 2013 and won 20 games in his first three full seasons, making him the first coach in WKU history to achieve the feat. After taking the helm at Western Kentucky in a tough situation midway through the 2011-12 season Harper began to put his stamp on the program, and the team responded in a big way. The Hilltoppers went 11-8 after he took over and 7-1 after he was named full-time head coach, which came after starting the season with a 5-11 record. His debut with the Hilltoppers saw him rally them to the Sun Belt Conference Tournament title and a win over Mississippi Valley State in the First Round of the NCAA Tournament in Dayton. A 20-12 record in 2012-13 ended with the Hilltoppers’ second trip to the Big Dance in as many years.

“Our goal at Jacksonville State is to win championships and play in the NCAA Tournament in all of our sports,” Seitz said. “Coach Harper has won championships everywhere he’s been, and there’s no reason to think he won’t continue that success at JSU. The future of JSU Basketball is a bright one.”

Prior to joining the WKU program as an assistant in 2009, Harper built a head coaching resume that included four national championships, five national runner-up finishes, eight conference titles, five national coach-of-theyear honors and a 342-63 record over 12 years at Kentucky Wesleyan and Oklahoma City University.

He comes to Jacksonville after a five-year stint at Western Kentucky that saw him post an 89-64 mark that included three 20-win seasons and two trips to the NCAA Tournament. After serving over two years as an assistant at WKU, he

Harper was named the NCAA Division II National Coach of the Year four-straight years from 1999-2002, while earning the honor at the NAIA Division I level once with Oklahoma City following the 2008 title run. He was selected

2016-2017 Men’s Basketball Media Guide


In nine years at his alma mater Kentucky Wesleyan in Owensboro, Ky., Harper laid claim to seven NCAA coaching records, surpassing Division I record-holders in all instances, including becoming the fastest to 200 wins (224 games), holding the most consecutive 30-win seasons (6) and compiling the most wins in each of the first four-through-eight seasons of his career. With NCAA Division II title game appearances each season from 19982003, the Bremen, Ky., native became the first NCAA head coach since John Wooden to appear in six-straight NCAA National Championship games. He won in 1999 and 2001. The NCAA requires a minimum of 10 seasons at the Division II level to officially qualify for its list of head coaching records, but Harper’s nine-year record of 247-46 at Kentucky Wesleyan would give him the best winning percentage in Division II history at .843. At Kentucky Wesleyan, he coached two National Players of the Year, seven All-Americans and nine NABC Great Lakes All-Region players. He had 11 players selected All-Great Lakes Valley Conference and two that were named the league’s player of the year. Through seven seasons, he had more victories than any coach at the NCAA Division I and II levels (210). Harper reached 200 wins in 224 games, which was faster than NCAA Division I record holder and Hall of Famer Clair Bee, who won 200 in 231 games. On February 17, 2008, Harper’s number 12 jersey was permanently retired at Kentucky Wesleyan, and the floor at Jones Gymnasium was named “Ray Harper Court.”

Why We Are The Gamecocks “Go Eagle Owls!” would be the resounding cry from Paul Snow Stadium today if ardent fans hadn’t decided 50 years ago that the school mascot should be a bird of a different feather. Jacksonville State University’s first football team was fielded in the late 1800’s and nicknamed in honor of a rare predatory bird found near the Arctic circle. The exact details are lost to history, but a group of fans decided it was hard for the school’s image to soar like an eagle if the team’s name was something of a turkey. People like E.C. Wilson, Bruce Chase and Charles Sprayberry felt a more collegiatesounding moniker would be more appropriate.

The supporters looked to Southern culture rather than the north pole to symbolize the school’s tough spirit. Tongue firmly planted in beak, Gamecock supporters crowed the loudest, and the University found itself with a new identity: a mascot familiar to everyone, including the farm boys who comprised most of the student body back then.

The State Normal School (SNS) team was sparse by today’s standards, but the gridiron action was competitive from the start. Present day rivalries such as Samford (Howard College) and Troy State were rooted in those early games.

The team had only 23 players when SNS was renamed Jacksonville Teachers College in 1946, with Head Coach Don Salls beginning his first season, but there was a “big school” atmosphere developing in the foothills.

It was all worked out by 1947 when the Fighting Gamecocks took to the field for the first time. And, as is true to the nature of the warlike bird itself, the football team and other athletes fought their way to respectability in intercollegiate ranks - eventually bringing home a national championship in every major sport.

Along with the new name came new colors. The blue and gold were tossed out in favor of the familiar red and white worn by the area high school players. The story goes that there were two camps - those who wanted to keep the Eagle Owl nickname and those who wanted new colors. Legend has it that a compromise was worked out; new colors for a new mascot.

For nearly a half-century – up until 1946 – the fledgling Eagle Owls hooted with pride from the scanty facilities adjacent to the field at John Forney National Guard Armory.

MOUNT PLEASANT, Mich. – The Jacksonville State men’s basketball team erased an early deficit but couldn’t hold off the defending champion and preseason favorites in the Mid-American Conference in an 89-83 loss at Central Michigan. The Gamecocks turned an early 18-point Chippewas lead into a five-point game in the second half, but the home team was able to pull away for its 17th win in 18 home games over the past two years. Rayshawn Simmons and Braylon Rayson put CMU on their backs to score 30 and 28 points, respectively. SU entered the game with nine newcomers, tied for the seventh-most in Division I this season. The Gamecocks didn’t let a pair of runs put them away, as they pulled as close as four late in the game before time ran out on them. JSU got a career-high 26 points from sophomore Malcolm Drumwright, while freshman Jared Hamilton added 16 and junior Erik Durham scored 10 in their collegiate debuts. Drumwright, a native of Rancho Cucamonga, Calif., scored 17 twice in his freshman season, and his 26 on Friday were the most by a Gamecock in a season opener since Brandon Crawford scored 28 at South Carolina to open the 2008-09 season. CMU got to the free throw line 41 times and took advantage, making 31 of those attempts. A year after a record-breaking year from 3-point range, the Chippewas picked up where they left off by connecting on 8-of-19 attempts from behind the arc. JSU never gave in, pulling as close as six at 83-77 with 1:15 left and then making it a four-point game at 87-83 with 13 ticks left on the clock. CMU connected from the stripe to put the game out of reach

JACKSONVILLE — The Jacksonville State men’s basketball team got its first win of the season on Sunday with an 81-68 victory over Fort Valley State at Pete Mathews Coliseum. The Gamecocks (1-1) have nine newcomers, which is tied for the seventh most at the Division I level, but those players helped lead the way in James Green’s seventh home opening win in eight seasons at JSU. Jared Hamilton, a freshman out of Charlotte, N.C., scored 14 points and brought down a career-high 13 rebounds in 31 minutes as a starter. It’s the first doubledouble recorded by a Gamecock player since D.J. Felder had 10 points and 13 rebounds back on January 3, 2015, which is only a 17-game span. Hamilton also blocked two shots in the win. Erik Durham, a transfer from Lamar State College in Port Arthur, Texas, also had a career performance during the game. The Springfield, Mo., native scored 15 points while bringing down six rebounds, both career highs, in a game-high 35 minutes of action. Christian Cunningham, a freshman from Albuquerque, N.M., added a six points and four rebounds, both of which were career-highs. Returning guards JaQuail Townser and Malcolm Drumwright picked up right where they left off Friday afternoon in the Gamecocks’ season-opener at Central Michigan. Townser scored 15 points to go along with five assists and five steals in 28 minutes. Drumwright followed his career-best 26-point performance against the Chippewas with a 14-point game against the Wildcats. Jeremy Watson added nine points, thanks to 5-of-8 from the free throw line, and brought down three rebounds in 20 minutes of action off the bench.

Virginia Tech 71, Jacksonville State 62

Oakwood 60, Jacksonville State 96

Nov. 16, 2015 - Pete Mathews Coliseum

Nov. 18, 2015 - Cassell Coliseum

JACKSONVILLE — Everything was working in Jacksonville State’s favor during its 96-60 win over Oakwood Monday night. It started with JaQuail Townser sinking two of his career-tying four 3-point shots en route to his game-high 17 points. It finished with Andre Statam, a freshman from Cape Girardeau, Mo., bringing down one of his career-high seven rebounds to go along with 16 points, which was also a career high. Townser and Statam were two of five Gamecock players in double figures for head coach James Green. Jared Hamilton finished with 12 points, six assists and five rebounds in 25 minutes of game action. Christian Cunningham also had 12 points, seven rebounds and five blocks. Rounding out the five some was Malcolm Drumwright, who has now scored in double digits in all three games this season, as he finished with 11 points and nine assists. It’s the first time Jacksonville State had five players in double figures since Darion Rackley (24), Drumwright (15), Jamal Hunter (15), Avery Moore (14) and D.J. Felder (10) reached the mark earlier this calendar year on Feb. 14, 2015 against Tennessee Tech, which was a span of six games. Erik Durham added nine points and seven reboudns while Ed Jones, in his first collegiate action, had eight points in seven minutes. Greg Tucker and DelFinkco Bogan had five and four points respectively. The game was ultimately decided in the first half when the Gamecocks scored 53 points on 56.4 percent shooting from the field. They followed it up with 43 points during the second half while shooting 45.9 percent. Green attributed his team’s second win of the season to the 24-to-5 assist-to-turnover ratio during the game’s 40 minutes. The Gamecocks also scored 54 of their points in the paint.

BLACKSBURG, Va. – The Jacksonville State men’s basketball team started fast and took Atlantic Coast Conference foe Virginia Tech to the wire, but the Gamecocks fell to the Hokies 71-62 on Wednesday night. James Green’s young Gamecocks (2-2) opened the game with the hot hand to build an early four-point lead. They led the Hokies (1-1) by four until the fiveminute mark of the first half, when a 9-0 run stretched into the second half and gave them the lead for good. Jax State cut the deficit to two with 11:23 left and answered another run to pull to within three on an Erik Durham 3-pointer with 2:40 to play, but Tech converted from the line and off the offensive glass to hang on for the win. Durham, a junior from Springfield, Mo., led all scorers with 21 points and also pulled down eight boards, both career highs, to pace JSU’s upset attempt. Sophomore Malcolm Drumwright added 13 despite an off night from the floor that saw him go 6-for-20 and 1-for-6 from behind the arc. Junior Greg Tucker and senior Jeremy Watson added 10 points, each. Freshman Jared Hamilton scored eight points for JSU, while also dishing three assists and pulling down three rebounds. The Hokies used length inside to hold a 54-29 advantage on the glass, including 20 offensive rebounds that led to 20 second-chance points in a nine-point win. JSU forced 17 turnovers and turned them into 15 points, while the Gamecocks committed just nine turnovers. The Gamecocks didn’t get to the free throw line until there was 5:30 remaining in the second half, while the Hokies only converted 15 of their 30 attempts from the stripe. JSU ended up going 6-for-8 from the free throw line.

Winthrop 80, Jacksonville State 69

UAB 61, Jacksonville State 55

ROCK HILL, S.C.. – Four Gamecocks scored in double figures on Friday night, but the Jacksonville State men’s basketball team fell at Winthrop 80-69. The Gamecocks (2-3) held the Eagles (3-0) to 24 points below their season average but couldn’t get over the hump down the stretch before time expired on their comeback efforts. Jax State got 15 points and six rebounds from junior Erik Durham, while sophomore Malcolm Drumwright added 10 points and six assists to go along with his four rebounds. Senior Jeremy Watson scored 13 points and had four boards, and senior JaQuail Townser scored 10 and dished three assists. The Gamecocks scored the game’s first basket, a Drumwright runner, but Winthrop scored the next 10 to claim an eight-point lead. The Eagles would never relinquish that lead, taking a 41-31 advantage into the locker room and answering every time JSU tried to cut it to single digits in the second half. Joshua Davenport came off the Winthrop bench to notch a double-double of 12 points and 10 boards, while forward Xavier Cooks led all scorers with 19 points on an 8-for-11 shooting night. The Gamecocks forced 14 turnovers and committed just 11, but the Eagles held a14-9 advantage in points off of those turnovers. The home team also outscored JSU 38-22 in the paint in its first game of the season in which it didn’t break the 100-points mark on the scoreboard.

BIRMINGHAM - Jacksonville State put a serious scare into UAB on Sunday afternoon at Bartow Arena, but the Blazers were able to do just enough to hold off the Gamecocks and escape with a 61-55 win. Malcolm Drumwright and Jeremy Watson each scored 14 points to lead the Gamecocks (2-4), while Watson added seven rebounds in his hometown. The senior that prepped at Homewood High School scored eight in the second half, while Drumwright put in 12 in the final 20 minutes. The Blazers (3-1) got 23 points off the bench from Chris Cokley and used a big advantage in length to outrebound JSU 40-28 and turn that into a 38-16 advantage in the paint. JSU senior JaQuail Townser added 13 points and dished five assists. The Gamecocks held off the Blazers for the first seven minutes of the second half until a Cokley layup tied the game at 36-36 with just over 13 minutes on the clock. After a Jeremy Watson spin move and layup put JSU back up 38-36, the Blazers scored four straight to take their first lead of the second half. The Blazers built a 43-39 lead on the back end of a 7-1 run, their largest since midway through the first, but JSU stormed right back with a Drumwright trey that tied it again at 48-48 with 7:12 to play. The two exchanged blows over the next three minutes before UAB got a basket from William Lee, a defensive stop and two Denzell Watts free throws to rebuild a four-point lead at 56-52. A Watson putback cut the deficit to two and JSU got a look to tie, but a block by Lee set up a breakaway and a dunk by Cokley that put the game out of reach.

Chicago State 65, Jacksonville State 68

Alabama A&M 73, Jacksonville State 69

Nov. 24, 2015 - Pete Mathews Coliseum

Nov. 27, 2015 - Emerald Coast Classic Arena

JACKSONVILLE – Jacksonville State put forth a furious comeback attempt but couldn’t overcome an explosive first half by Alabama A&M in a 73-69 loss Tuesday night. Ladarius Tabb’s 26-point performance gave the Bulldogs enough cushion to withstand a late second half rally by Jacksonville State to walk out of Pete Mathews Coliseum as winners. Rakiya Battle sealed the win with three free throw baskets in the game’s last 12 seconds. With 56 seconds left, JaQuail Towner tied the game at 67, before Alabama A&M outscored the Gamecocks by four over that period. The Bulldogs were up 41-35 after the first half, before JSU battled back. JSU erased what was once a 14-point deficit in the second half. Andre Statam missed the game-tying basket before Erik Durham missed another game-tying chance in the game’s last 30 seconds. To go along with Tabb’s performance, Battle and Nicholas West also added 13 points each. West brought down seven rebounds to Tabb’s six. Battle dished out four assists while Adrian Edwards chipped in with eight points and 10 rebounds. For Jacksonville State, Malcolm Drumwright has a team-high 18 points and five rebounds while JaQuail Townser added 16 and five boards in a game-high 38 minutes. Durham chipped in with 12 points, five rebounds and three steals. Jared Hamilton scored 10 points and brought down a team-high seven rebounds. Christian Cunningham had three block shots to go along with his six points before fouling out late in the game. Alabama A&M outshot the Jacksonville State 48.5 percent to 39.4 during the first half, which included 46.7 percent from behind the arc.

NICEVILLE, Fla. – Erik Durham and Jared Hamilton scored career highs and the Jacksonville State men’s basketball team held off a late Chicago State charge for a 68-65 win to open the Emerald Coast Classic on Friday. Durham poured in 23, thanks to a 6-for-9 effort from behind the arc, while Hamilton scored 17 to lift the Gamecocks (3-5) over the Panthers (3-3) and into Saturday’s bracket championship game against Chattanooga at 1 p.m. Hamilton led JSU with six boards, while Durham and sophomore Malcolm Drumwright each grabbed five rebounds. To go along with Durham and Hamilton’s career highs in the points column, Drumwright added 14 while dishing six assists. The Panthers got 24 points from Kieran Woods and 17 from Elliott Cole. A back-and-forth game in the early minutes saw the Gamecocks pull away at the midway point of the half. They used a 10-0 run that stretched almost three minutes and gave them a 26-17 lead with 6:15 left in the half. The Panthers pulled within five, but three-straight 3-pointers from the Gamecocks by Drumwright, Durham and DelFincko Bogan gave JSU its largest lead of the half at 39-27. The Panthers got a putback just before the horn to make it a 10-point game at the intermission. CSU scored the first five points of the second half to cut the Gamecocks’ lead to five at 39-34 and extended the run to 14-4 and pulled to within two at 43-41. The Gamecocks were able to hold off several CSU attempts, finding an answer for each one before the final horn blew with Jax State hanging on for the win.

JACKSONVILLE — JACKSONVILLE — Jacksonville State led over half of the game, but Alabama State made a late charge and held on for a 63-60 win in Pete Mathews Coliseum. After leading for four seconds shy of 31 minutes, JaQuail Townser’s 3-point shot attempt to tie the game was right of the rim resulting in the Gamecocks falling to Alabama State for the second consecutive year as the Hornets won by a final 63-60. Alabama State didn’t take the lead for the first time until Jamel Waters sank a jumper with 10:14 left in the second half. Cam Biedscheid answered right back with a jumper of his own to give JSU a 1-point lead less than 30 seconds later. However, Waters made another shot a minute and a half later to give the Hornets the lead for good. JSU got as close as one point with 2:12 left and then against with 14 seconds left, but could never get over the hump to take the lead. Head coach James Green and his team held a 30-25 after leading the entire first half of play as a result of Jeremy Watson and Biedscheid’s nine first half points. They both ended the game with 13 points as Townser had a team-high 14 points and six rebounds. Watson brought down a game-high 12 rebounds to round out his fifth career double-double, first this season and first in 364 days.

Malcolm Drumwright had eight points and four rebounds before fouling out late in the game.

Northern Colorado 76, Jacksonville State 79

Loyola Marymount 77, Jacksonville State 60 Dec. 18, 2015 - Gersten Pavilion

Dec. 21, 2015 - Pete Mathews Coliseum

LOS ANGELES, Calif. – Malcolm Drumwright and Greg Tucker scored in double figures but the Jacksonville State men’s basketball team dropped a 77-60 road matchup at Loyola Marymount Friday. The Gamecocks (3-10) and Lions (7-4) exchanged blows early before a small LMU run created enough separation to pull away with the win. Tucker, a junior from Charleston, Mo., scored a career-high 11 points, despite a 2-for-7 night from the floor. He was 2-for-5 from behind the arc, while Drumwright went 5-for-13 en route to a 16-point outing. The Lions got 21 points and 11 boards from Adom Jacko, who went 8-for-14 from the floor and pulled down eight boards off the offensive glass. Steven Haney also scored 21 points and added eight rebounds, all defensive. The Lions shot 45 percent from the floor and held JSU to a 36 percent shooting night. That, plus a 43-31 advantage on the glass proved to be the difference in the game. JSU got nine points and a team-high six rebounds from senior Jeremy Watson, while freshman Christian Cunningham added five boards before fouling out in 14 minutes on the court.

JACKSONVILLE — Jacksonville State got off to a fast start and then held off Northern Colorado for a 79-76 win on Monday night at Pete Mathews Coliseum. The win was due in large part to a 21-of-25 (84.0 percent) shooting night from the free throw line, highlighted by sophomore guard Malcolm Drumwright’s perfect 9-for-9 night from the line as part of his game-high 28-point performance. After Northern Colorado tied the game at 71 with 1:36 remaining in the game, Christian Cunningham’s layup combined with two Drumwright free throws gave Jacksonville State a four-point lead with under 25 seconds left to play. The Bears got within two points of tying the score in the game’s closing seconds, but two more Drumwright free throws along with two made free throws from Jeremy Watson helped sealed the Gamecocks’ fourth win on the season. In his third straight start, junior guard Greg Tucker was just one-point shy of tying his career-high during the first half. He went on to score five more points during the game’s final 20 minutes to set a new career-high with 15 points in 37 minutes of game action. He also had five rebounds. Watson and Cunningham added 10 points apiece while Cunningham brought down a game-high seven rebounds along with a game-high three blocks. JaQuail Townser chipped in six points, all coming from behind the 3-point arc, while Jared Hamilton and DelFincko Bogan both had five. For Northern Colorado, Dallas Anglin had a team-high 23 points on seven-ofnine shooting from the field, seven of eight from the free throw line. Jordan Wilson added to the Bears’ comeback attempted by finished with 12 points while Anthony Johnson had 10 points and five rebounds.

SIU Edwardsville 67, Jacksonville State 72

Alabama 67, Jacksonville State 59 (OT) Dec. 29, 2015 - Coleman Coliseum

Dec. 31, 2015 - Pete Mathews Coliseum

TUSCALOOSA – The Jacksonville State men’s basketball team had Alabama on the ropes on Tuesday night at Coleman Coliseum, but the free throw line lifted the Crimson Tide to a 67-59 overtime win. The Gamecocks (4-11) seemed to throw everything it took to upend the Crimson Tide (8-3) on the road, but they couldn’t overcome 18 turnovers and a free throw discrepancy that put a lopsided number on the scoreboard. Alabama went to the line 43 times and made just 28, but that would be plenty on a night that saw JSU shoot just eight charity shots. Jax State overcame a 13-point deficit in the second half and used a JaQuail Townser 3-pointer with 33 seconds left in regulation to tie the game and send it to overtime. The Gamecocks scored the first basket of the extra period but couldn’t get another to fall, while Alabama took advantage of three JSU players fouling out and connected on all eight free throws in overtime to scape with the win. JSU got 16 points from freshman Jared Hamilton, while Townser scored 14. Junior Greg Tucker scored 10 before fouling out, and senior Jeremy Watson added 11 points. JSU’s leading scorer Malcolm Drumwright failed to score on a night that saw him go 0-for-6 with four fouls in the game. JSU outrebounded the Crimson Tide 41-37, led by six each from Drumwright and freshman Christian Cunningham. Townser and Watson each pulled down five boards. Alabama got 16 points from Arthur Edwards, while Riley Norris recorded a double-double of 10 points and 11 boards. The Tide had two players, Jimmie Taylor and Retin Obasohan, shoot more free throws than JSU shot as a team. The Tide was whistled for 15 fouls, less than half of the 32 called on JSU.

JACKSONVILLE - In a game that never saw a double-digit lead, the Jacksonville State men’s basketball team held off SIU-Edwardsville to close 2015 and open Ohio Valley Conference play with a 72-67 win on Thursday. The Gamecocks (5-11, 1-0 OVC) and Cougars (3-10, 0-1 OVC) exchanged blows early before JSU took the lead for good with just under 12 minutes to play in the first half. An early 7-0 run by JSU, its longest of the game, turned a threepoint SIUE lead into a four-point JSU lead it would cling to the rest of the night. The Gamecocks got 14 points from Greg Tucker in the second half and 16 on the night, one of three Gamecocks in double figures in the game. The junior from Charleston, Mo., was 3-for-4 from behind the arc in the second half to help JSU hold off several comeback attempts by the Cougars. Tucker also dished four assists and grabbed four boards. Sophomore Malcolm Drumwright led JSU with 19 points, while freshman Jared Hamilton added 10. Senior Jeremy Watson scored eight while leading the Gamecocks with nine rebounds. Freshman Andre Statam went 3-fof-3 from behind the arc to account for his nine points. The Cougars got 21 points in the paint from center Yemi Makanjoula, who went 8-for-10 from the field and pulled down eight rebounds. Keenan Simmons led all players with 10 boards to pace SIUE to a 32-28 advantage on the glass. SIUE scored the game’s first five points and held a four-point lead with 15:27 left in the first half. The Gamecocks got a Drumwright 3-pointer and back-to-back layups from Watson and Tucker to take their first lead of the night. SIUE got it back on a Carlos Anderson trey, but JSU went on its game-winning seven-point run to take the lead for good.

GAME 17

Eastern Illinois 75, Jacksonville State 64

Austin Peay 73, Jacksonville State 54

JACKSONVILLE – Eastern Illinois was red hot from the floor in the second half and used that to pull off a 75-64 win over the Jacksonville State men’s basketball team on Saturday afternoon. The Panthers (4-10, 1-1 Ohio Valley Conference) shot .704 from the floor in the final 20 minutes after making 17 of their first 23 shots in the half to pull away from the Gamecocks (5-12, 1-1 OVC). JSU struggled from the floor in the second half, shooting 10-for-28 and just 1-for-11 from behind the arc. JSU got 19 points from Malcolm Drumwright to lead a trio of Gamecocks in double figures. JaQuail Townser scored 15, 12 in the first half, and Jared Hamilton pitched in 12. Townser dished six assists, all in the first half. Turnovers were a nuisance for the Gamecocks in the loss, one that saw an uncharacteristic 17 turnovers for a team that entered the game averaging just 10.6 per game. EIU was led by Demetrius McReynolds’ 21 points, while Casey Teson added 14 in the win. The turnover bug bit the Gamecocks early, when they had seven turnovers and seven field goal attempts. The Panthers took advantage and built a 16-9 lead before JSU settled in. The Gamecocks put together a 23-6 run from that point. They would build a 32-22 lead with 1:41 on the first half clock, but EIU answered with six in a row to send it to the half with JSU leading 32-28. The Panthers used a stretch that saw them make six-straight from the floor and build a 10-point lead with 2:30 to play. The Gamecocks couldn’t get the shots to fall to overcome the hole.

CLARKSVILLE, Tenn. – A quick start by Austin Peay and Jacksonville State’s early shooting struggles proved to be the difference in a 73-54 Governors’ win on Thursday night at the Dunn Center in Ohio Valley Conference men’s basketball action. The Gamecocks fell to 5-13 overall and suffered their second consecutive OVC setback to drop to 1-2 in the league. APSU moved to 8-9 overall and level in the conference at 1-1. The Govs opened the contest on a 20-8 scoring run that covered the first 10:16 of the opening half. The run was triggered by APSU’s Chris Horton, who had three consecutive lay ups to push the lead to the 12-point margin midway through the first half. APSU extended the lead out to as many as 15 points on multiple occasions with the Govs holding a 35-20 lead with just over a minute left in the half before taking a 40-26 margin in to the halftime break. APSU was a sizzling 17-of-29 (58.6 percent) from the field in the opening half, including Horton’s perfect 8-for-8 from the field to surpass his season’s scoring average of 18 points per game before the break with 19 of his 24 total points. He posted a double-double with 13 rebounds. Horton was helped by Josh Robinson’s 10 points in the first half. Robinson finished with 13 points in the win. JSU was just 9-of-29 from the field in the first half and hit 11-of-38 in the second half to finish the game shooting 29 percent. The Govs extended the lead out to as many as 24 points at 63-39 with 6:44 left in the contest. APSU maintained its solid shooting effort in the second half with a 50 percent mark. The Govs concluded the contest shooting 55 percent from the field.

Murray State 69, Jacksonville State 54

Southeast Missouri 60, Jacksonville State 74

MURRAY, Ky. – The Jacksonville State men’s basketball team suffered a 69-54 road setback to Ohio Valley Conference foe, Murray State, at the CFSB Center. The Gamecocks opened the contest jumping out to an 8-2 advantage over the Racers. Junior Greg Tucker hit a couple of early threes, while sophomore Malcom Drumwright added another as JSU held a five-point lead at the first media break. Drumwright was the only Gamecock to finish in double figures in scoring with a team-high 14 points. He was perfect from behind the arc going four-for-four. Tucker finished with nine followed by JaQuail Townser and Erik Durham who each had eight points. MSU took its first lead midway through the first half, but the game went backand-forth often before the Racers began to pull away from a 23-23 tie late in the period. The Racers made a 9-2 run in just over a two-minute span fueled by consecutive dunks to create separation and enter the half with a 32-25 lead. With 16:57 remaining in the second half, Drumwright added another of his four three-pointers for the night to draw JSU within six. It would be the closest the Gamecocks would get the rest of the way as MSU slowly increased its advantage into double-digits down the stretch. The Racers shot .470 from the floor compared to JSU’s .333, and the Gamecocks didn’t get many second opportunities as the home team won the rebounding battle, 46-32.

CAPE GIRARDEAU, Mo. – The Jacksonville State men’s basketball team pulled away from Southeast Missouri early and cruised to a 74-60 road win in Ohio Valley Conference play on Wednesday. The Gamecocks (6-14, 2-3 OVC) used an early 10-0 run to turn a one-point deficit into a nine-point lead and the Redhawks (2-15, 0-5 OVC) couldn’t catch up. JSU got 15 points from Greg Tucker to lead a trio of Gamecocks in double figures. Senior JaQuail Townser added 13, while sophomore Malcolm Drumwright scored 11 and dished seven assists in the win. The Gamecocks shot 51 percent from the floor and connected on nine 3-pointers to hand the Redhawks the loss. JSU won the battle on the glass, 35-27, and turned the ball over just nine times on the night while leading for over 34 minutes of the game. Tucker, a junior from just down the road in Charleston, Mo., was 5-for-11 from the floor to lead JSU on a night that also saw him swipe a pair of steals, dish three assists and grab three boards. Another local product, freshman Andre Statam, scored nine points in 14 minutes off the bench. The Central High School product from Cape Girardeau was 4-for-5 from the floor and had two rebounds in his first trip home as a collegiate player. Freshman DelFincko Bogan, also a Charleston, Mo., native, had seven points and two assists in 12 minutes off the bench in his Homecoming game. Freshman Jared Hamilton led the JSU effort on the boards with eight rebounds to go along with seen points. All nine Gamecocks that saw time on the floor had at least one rebound, while eight players had at least two boards.

Morehead State 66, Jacksonville State 63

Jacksonville State 71, Eastern Kentucky 67

Jan. 22, 2015 - Pete Mathews Coliseum

Jan. 24, 2015 - Pete Mathews Coliseum

JACKSONVILLE --- The Jacksonville State men’s basketball team erased a seven-point deficit with 90 seconds to play to hand Eastern Kentucky a 71-67 defeat at Pete Mathews Coliseum. Trailing 66-59 to the preseason favorite to win the Ohio Valley Conference East and defending OVC Tournament champion Colonels, the Gamecocks scored 12 of the final 13 to grab the win. Senior Darion Rackley led all players with 25 points, while fellow senior Avery Moore scored 10 to reach the 1,000 points mark in his Division I career. Rackley went 8-for-15 from the floor and sparked the late comeback for the Gamecocks. The St. Louis native drew contact and made a pair of free throws to cut the late deficit to five and then knocked down a 3-pointer from the right wing to make it a two-point game. He then grabbed the final of his four steals from EKU’s Denzel Richardson and dished to Jamal Hunter for an old fashioned 3-point play that gave JSU the lead for good. The Gamecocks connected at the free throw line, where they went 21-for-24 on the night and 10-for-11 in the second half, to hold off any comeback the Colonels tried to put together. JSU also forced EKU into 17 turnovers and committed just 15, only the second time this season the Colonels have lost the turnover battle. They entered the game second in the nation with a +9.4 turnover margin. Hunter had 14 points and six rebounds in the win, including five-straight points that turned a two-point deficit into a three-point advantage in the game’s final minute. Moore, a native of Tallahassee, Fla., and transfer from Florida A&M after the 2011-12 season, surpassed the 1,000-point mark for his career. He scored 643 points in two years at FAMU and now has 363 in less than two years at JSU.

JACKSONVILLE --- The Jacksonville State men’s basketball team stormed back to tie Morehead State in the final minute but dropped a 66-63 Ohio Valley Conference matchup. After an abnormal start from outside by the Eagles that pushed them to an early lead, the Gamecocks clawed back before watching MSU win the game at the free throw line. One of the worst 3-point shooting teams in the OVC headed into the game, MSU went a red-hot 9-for-12 from behind the arc in the first half. The hot shooting from outside overcompensated for an ice cold start inside. The Eagles made just one of their first 10 attempts from inside the arc but still led by as many as 12 points. JSU crawled back to cut that deficit to four before MSU’s final field goal of the night, a Kareem Storey layup with 5:09 left, made it a 60-54 game with 5:09 to play. Senior Jamal Hunter cut it to four, where it stayed until the 1:03 mark, when a Malcolm Drumwright jumper in the lane and then a layup by the freshman after stealing the inbounds pass tied the game at 62-62 with 39 seconds on the clock. Corban Collins drew contact and made his free throws to push MSU back up by two and then a miss on Drumwright’s first of two attempts kept the Gamecocks from tying the game with 11 ticks left. Angelo Warner made both after a JSU foul and JaQuail Townser’s off-balance attempt to tie missed to end the game. Drumwright and seniors Darion Rackley and D.J. Felder each scored in double figures for the Gamecocks, with Rackley leading the way with 16. The St. Louis native stuggled from the floor, going just 3-for-13, but got to the stripe and went 1-for-11 to account for most of his points. Over his last six games, Rackley is 50-for-54 (.926) from the line.

The Bruins opened the second half and used a 20-6 run and finished the half shooting 63 percent after hitting 17-of-27 from the field over the final 20 minutes of the game.50-for-54 (.926) from the line.

NASHVILLE --- It was a pair of scoring runs in the second half and a 23-7 run by Tennessee State proved to be the difference as Jacksonville State’s struggles in the Gentry Center continued with a 45-43 loss to the Tigers. After the Gamecocks started the second half with a 22-19 advantage to start with and opened the final half of play on a 12-2 scoring run to take a 15-point, 36-21 lead at the 13:06 mark of the second half. The scoring spurt was sparked by senior guard Darion Rackley, who had nine of his team-high 16 points in the second half. As a team, JSU was 2-of its last-15 from the field and hit 8-of-27 for 29 percent, while the Tigers posted a 22 percent shooting mark in the final 20 minutes. The Tigers’ run was aided at the free throw line as they were 16-of-23. After that run, the Tigers employed their zone defense and gave the Gamecocks fits the rest of the way. TSU, down by 15 points began chipping away at the deficit, while limiting Jax State offensively the rest of the way. The Blue and White would string together a 19-2 run over a 9:23 span to erase the deficit and take its first lead since the 13:40 mark of the opening half. TSU’s Darreon Reddick drilled a three pointer from the right side to give his club a 40-39 lead with 4:45 left to play. Scoring would be limited both ways for the final minutes as TSU posted the two-point win. It was the Tigers second consecutive win after downing Tennessee Tech on Thursday night. The loss was the 12th in the last 13 trips to the TSU campus for the Gamecocks. The 45 points is a season-low for JSU and the second time this season that it did not hit the 50-point mark this season. JSU was forced to in to a 3-15 second half from long range. Senior D. J. Felder matched his career high with 13 rebounds, including 12 on the defensive end of the floor. Felder added six points and three assists in 33 minutes of action. JaQuail Townser and Malcom Drumwright finished with seven points each.

Jan. 30, 2016 - Pete Mathews Coliseum

Feb. 6, 2016 - Pete Mathews Coliseum

JACKSONVILLE – Still shorthanded two days after injuries to two starters, the Jacksonville State men’s basketball team struggled to find offense in a 78-53 loss to Tennessee State. The Tigers (15-6, 6-2 Ohio Valley Conference) entered the game having lost back-to-back heartbreakers to Belmont and Tennessee Tech, who lead them in the OVC standings. They took it out on a Gamecocks (8-17, 4-6 OVC) squad that was without leading scorer Malcolm Drumwright and starting center Christian Cunningham. A late run in the first half gave TSU its first cushion with a 38-29 halftime lead and then held the Gamecocks to an 8-for-28 second half from the floor to pull away and get back in the win column. JSU freshman DelFincko Bogan scored a career-high 13 points to lead the Gamecocks, hi first double-digit scoring game in his career. The Charleston, Mo., native was 5-for-10 from the floor and 2-for-5 from behind the arc, while dishing two assists. Senior Jeremy Watson flirted with a double-double, scoring 11 points and pulling down eight boards. Despite JSU holding leading scorer Keron DeShields to just 10 points on 4-for-14 shooting, the Tigers had too much firepower on this day, going 32-for-59 from the floor (.542), including a 17-for-29 second half. Tahjere McCall led all scorers with 18 points, while Wayne Martin added 13 on a 6-for-7 shooting effort. Martin also recorded 12 boards in the win.

JACKSONVILLE - The Jacksonville State men’s basketball team fell to Tennessee Tech, 68-58 on Saturday at Pete Mathews Coliseum. With the score being tied at halftime, the game essentially became a secondhalf race to score more points than the Golden Eagles. However, a 47.8 secondhalf shooting percent by TTU compared to the Gamecocks’ 27.3 percent was the deciding factor. After the two teams traded the lead multiple teams during the first half, Jared Hamilton sank a turnaround jumper at the buzzer to tie the game at 32 at intermission. Out of the break, Tennessee Tech’s Aleksa Jugovic sank a 3-point shot, less than 42 seconds into the half, and the Golden Eagles never gave up the lead for the remainder of the game. Jacksonville State got as close as one-point on the next possession, but couldn’t get any closer than three. With three starters out to injury and having only seven players see game action for head coach James Green, JSU had six of those players in the scoring column with Hamilton leading the way with 16 points in addition to eight rebounds, two assists, two steals and one block. The freshman was the only Gamecock to shoot over 50 percent from the field as Hamilton finished 8 of 14 from the field in 36 minutes of game action. Additionally, Jeremy Watson recorded his seventh double-double, third of the 2015-16 season, as the Birmingham native finished with 15 points and a gamehigh 14 rebounds in 40 minutes as a starter. JaQuail Towner added 11 points, seven rebounds, six assists and one steal. DelFinkco Bogan scored six points while Greg Tucker and Andre Statam both finished with five points apiece.

Belmont 81, Jacksonville State 73

Tennessee Tech 72, Jacksonville State 70

NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Freshman Ed Jones doubled his season points total with 18 at Belmont on Wednesday, but the Bruins escaped a late Jacksonville State charge to earn a 81-73 win at the Curb Event Center. A native of Atlanta, Jones was 7-for-9 from the floor and 4-for-4 from the stripe to account for his career-high night. He was one of four Gamecocks (8-19, 4-8 Ohio Valley Conference) in double figures and led a 19-2 run in the second half that erased a 19-point deficit and pulled JSU within two. The Bruins (18-8, 10-2 OVC) had too much ammunition down the stretch, answering JSU’s spurt with an 8-0 run that put the game out of reach. JSU needed someone to step up after losing three starters to injury. The absence of leading scorer Malcolm Drumwright, sharp shooter Erik Durham and inside man Christian Cunningham opened opportunities in the lineup. Junior Greg Tucker led JSU in the points column with 19, while senior JaQuail Townser had 14 and freshman Jared Hamilton 13. Townser and Hamilton each had five boards to lead JSU. Taylor Barnette and Amanze Egekeze each added 15 points for the Bruins, going a combined 8-for-10 from behind the arc. The Bruins pulled out to an eight-point lead in the game’s first six minutes and stretched it to 11 on a Bradds layup with 1:19 left in the half. JSU answered with the last seven points of the half, including a Townser trey at the buzzer to cut the Gamecocks’ deficit to 37-33 at the intermission. The Gamecocks wouldn’t go away, scoring 10 straight at one point during a 19-2 run that made it a two-point game at 66-64 with 6:17 to play. Belmont had an answer next, scoring six quick points to create separation again. The last run would be the final blow to the Gamecocks’ comeback hopes.

COOKEVILLE, Tenn. - Greg Tucker’s 3-pointer tied the game with seven second left, but Tennessee Tech was placed on the free throw line, where they escaped with a 72-70 win over Jacksonville State that kept it in first place in the Ohio Valley Conference. After battling back from five down in the final two minutes to tie the game in the final seconds, the still shorthanded Gamecocks dropped another heartbreaker against one of the OVC’s best teams. Tucker got a wide open look from the left side and drained it to tie the game at 70-70 with seven ticks on the clock. The junior’s game-tying triple was his third of the night and capped a career-high 26-point effort from the Charleston, Mo., native. After the make, TTU’s Torrance Rowe brought the ball down the floor and attempted a three from the right wing, but JSU freshman man DelFincko Bogan was whistled for a foul on the shot with one second left. Rowe hit two of the three free throws to give the Golden Eagles the win and keep them in first place with just two weeks to play in the regular season. The Gamecocks, playing without three starters again because of injury, got 11 points from JaQuail Townser and Bogan to accompany Tucker’s big night. Tucker was 11-for-11 from the free throw line. After the two exchanged blows to start the second half, JSU finally put itself in the lead for the first time in the game on a Tucker layup that made it a 40-39 game with 16:41 to play. TTU would lead by five as late as the 1:57 mark, but two free throws from Tucker with 1:34 and his three with seven seconds tied it and set up the gamewinning whistle.

Eastern Kentucky Jacksonville State

Tennessee State 61, Jacksonville State 46 Feb. 20, 2016 - Gentry Center

Feb. 25, 2016 - Pete Mathews Coliseum

NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Jacksonville State freshman Jared Hamilton had 21 points and nine boards but fell 61-46 at Tennessee State on Saturday night. Hamilton, a true freshman from Charlotte, N.C., was 8-for-16 from the floor and was just one rebounds shy of a double-double, but the rest of the Gamecocks struggled from the floor in their sixth-straight game against one of the top three teams in the Ohio Valley Conference. The Tigers shot just 40.7 percent from the floor and only 36 percent from behind the arc, but they managed enough offense to hold off JSU and claim the season series. Another JSU freshman in guard DelFincko Bogan scored 12 for JSU, thanks to a 4-for-8 effort from behind the arc. He and Hamilton combined for all but 13 of the Gamecocks’ points, while the rest of JSU’s lineup struggled from the floor for a combined 4-for-28 shooting night. Marcus Roper led the Tigers with 15 points after coming off of the bench to go 6-for-8 from the field. Another pair of bench players, Wayne Martin and Christian Griggs-Williams, each scored 10 points in the win. The two went back-and-forth for part of the first half, with JSU leading as late as the 9:53 mark at 14-13. TSU scored the next six to take a five-point lead and never looked back. The Tigers took a 30-24 lead into the locker room. Both teams went scoreless for the first three minutes of the second half, and TSU got back-to-back layups from Martin and Roper to make it a double-digit lead at 34-24 with just under 16 minutes to play.

JACKSONVILLE - It started in the closing minutes of the first half. With the game tied, Eastern Kentucky went on a scoring run before taking a seven-point lead into halftime. The Colonels continued the scoring trend by outscoring Jacksonville State by 15 during the second half en route to their 76-54 win over the Gamecocks. The loss drops Jacksonville State to 8-22 on the season and 4-11 in Ohio Valley Conference play while Eastern Kentucky keeps its hopes for a berth in the conference tournament by pushing its conference record to 6-9, 15-15 on the season overall. Eastern Kentucky shot an impressive 58.6 percent from the field during the second half while holding Jacksonville State to a 22.6 shooting percentage and 27.3 percent from behind the 3-point arc during the same stretch. One of the lone bright spots for Jacksonville State was its 63 percent (17 of 27) from the free throw line, which was led by Greg Tucker’s perfect 9 for 9 night from the charity stripe on his way to a game-high 15 point performance for the Gamecocks. Jacksonville State got to within five of Eastern Kentucky in the opening minutes of the second half then as close as seven midway through the half before the Colonels pushed their lead to double-figures and didn’t look back. JaQuail Townser scored nine points, dished out four assists and brought down three rebounds for the Gamecocks. Jeremy Watson and DelFinko Bogan both added eight points while Watson also had eight rebounds. Christian Cunningham finished the night with seven points, six rebounds and five blocked shots.

GAME 31

Morehead State 82, Jacksonville State 71

Feb. 27, 2016 - Pete Mathews Coliseum JACKSONVILLE. – In Jacksonville State’s basketball finale for 2015-16, junior Greg Tucker, from Charleston, Mo., scored an historic 36 points, but his Gamecocks (8-22, 4-11 Ohio Valley Conference) fell 82-71, just short of the season sweep of Morehead State. His career-high output was the most a Gamecock has ever scored in Pete Mathews Coliseum since JSU moved to Division I in 1995 and it was one point shy of the school’s Division I scoring record of 37 set by Trenton Marshall at Southeast Missouri in 2010. Nonetheless, the Gamecocks saw their season come to an end at the hands of an Eagles (17-11, 10-5 OVC) team they upset in Morehead, Ky., in late January. A determined MSU squad escaped The Pete with a win in a sloppy game that saw 50 total fouls and secured a bye and the No. 3 seed in next week’s OVC Tournament in Nashville. Tucker led the way for the Gamecocks, going 9-for-14 from the floor and 7-for-11 from behind the arc. He was also 11-for-15 from the free throw line. Senior JaQuail Townser, one of three Gamecocks playing in their final game on Senior Day, scored 14 and dished a team-high three assists. The team’s other senior, Jeremy Watson, pulled down a team-high seven boards and scored five points. Nathan Laing, a sophomore in eligibility but senior in the classroom, also suited up for the final time and will earn his degree this semester.

THE OHIO VALLEY CONFERENCE

The Ohio Valley Conference Now in its 69th year, the Ohio Valley Conference continues to build on the success that has made it the nation’s eighth-oldest NCAA Division I conference. In May 2011 the Conference expanded for the second time in four years, adding Belmont University which began competition in the 201213 academic year. The addition of Belmont gave the OVC 12 members, the most the league has had at one time in its illustrious history. The move added a second team in the city of Nashville and was the first addition to the league since Southern Illinois University Edwardsville joined in 2008. Subsequently, the league has shown its stability over the past decade, seeing only one member institution depart over the past 14 years. The 2009-10 school year saw a change in leadership as Beth DeBauche was named the seventh full-time Commissioner in league history on July 28, 2009. The last three commissioners of the OVC have moved onto jobs as the commissioner of the Big Ten, Big 12 and the Mid-American Conferences. The OVC’s proud history dates back to 1948, but seeds for the new league were actually planted in 1941. It was then that Roy Stewart, the athletics director at Murray State, Charles “Turkey” Hughes, the athletics director at Eastern Kentucky, and Kelly Thompson, the public relations director at Western Kentucky, first broached the idea of forming a new conference. Discussions were put on hold by World War II, but reemerged Feb. 27-28, 1948 at the Kentucky Hotel in Louisville as the three original institu-

tions combined with Morehead State, Louisville and Evansville to form the OVC. In the 1950s, the OVC became a pioneer on a much more significant scale socially. During times of racial segregation, league member Morehead State became one of the first nontraditionally black mid-southern institutions to accept a black student. In 1958 Marshall Banks earned athletically-related aid at Morehead, which signed a second black athlete, Howard Murphy, a year later. In 1961 Murphy earned all-conference recognition as a halfback in football. With racial barriers broken, the rest of the institutions in the league began to provide educational and athletic opportunities to AfricanAmericans. After Title IX legislation passed in 1972, women’s athletics began a rebirth on the national scene as the NCAA began sponsoring and marketing women’s sports. Recognizing the need to provide increased opportunities for female athletes, the OVC began formulating plans for women’s athletics in 1975 and established women’s championships in the sports of basketball, tennis and track in 1977, with cross country and volleyball added over the next four years. Those sports were initially governed by the Association of Intercollegiate Athletics for Women (AIAW), but the overall strength of women’s programs in the league was demonstrated by the automatic bids the OVC instantly received when the NCAA became the governing body in 1982. The conference added women’s golf and softball in 1994 and women’s soccer in 1998.

For the 23rd time in 24 years, the Ohio Valley Conference invades downtown Nashville to crown its men’s basketball champion. The OVC Basketball Tournament is the league’s showcase event, and the 2017 edition of “Music City Madness” will include a variety of exciting action both on and off the court. The tournament made a return to Municipal Auditorium in 2011 with a new merit-based format. The combined men’s and women’s championship has been held at Municipal Auditorium 11 times: 1994, 1995, 1996, 2004, 2008, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015 and 2016. The men also held its championship at the venue in 1989. Prior to the tournament being at the end of the season, the 1967 tournament was also held at Municipal Auditorium in December. After first round games were previously played on campus sites, now all eight men’s and all eight women’s teams that qualify for the tournament field gather at a single site for the entire tournament. In 2011 the bracket shifted from a traditional 1 vs. 8, 2 vs. 7, etc. format to a merit-based format that rewards the top teams during the regular season with byes into the quarterfinals and semifinals. The first round of the men’s tournament will feature the No. 5 seed against the No. 8 seed and the No. 6 seed against the No. 7 seed. The winners of those games will advance to the quarterfinals to face the No. 3 and No. 4 seeds (who received a bye). The winners of those quarterfinal matchups will advance to the semifinals to face the No. 1 and No. 2 seeds (who received a pair of byes). With a change to divisional play in 2012-13, the East and West divisional winners are guaranteed to be the top two seeds in the men’s tournament, while seeds 3-8 will be determined by Conference record, regardless of division. The women’s tournament changed formats in 2015, doing away with both divisional play and the merit-based format; the women’s teams now play in a traditional 1 vs. 8, 2 vs. 7, etc. bracket. The 2017 Championship marks the 54th time the men’s event has been held, making it the fourth oldest Division I championship in the country (behind only the Southern, ACC and SEC). Future OVC Basketball Tournament dates are Feb. 28 - March 3, 2018, March 6-9, 2019 and March 4-7, 2020. Last season Austin Peay became the lowest seed (No. 8) to claim the OVC Championship by winning four games in four days and besting the No. 1, No. 2, No. 4 and No. 5 seeds in the process.

This is Jacksonville State

JACKSONVILLE and CALHOUN COUNTY

The Home of

Jacksonville State University

Near Atlanta, Near Birmingham, Near Perfect!

Tucked into the rolling foothills of the Appalachian mountain range in Northeast Alabama, Calhoun County is a growing business center, yet still evokes an atmosphere of small-town America. We are a tranquil community with a fabulous climate of four distinctive seasons, full bloom summers, and brilliantly colored falls. In every direction there are tree-covered mountains, deep canyons, lush valleys, and underground springs. And yet, if you begin to yearn for big city life, we are only 60 miles from Birmingham, and 90 miles from Atlanta. A surprising variety of experiences await you in Calhoun County. The climate here allows for year round golf, tennis, hiking, or any activity you may enjoy in the great outdoors. Although our slogan reads, near Atlanta…near Birmingham…near Perfect, our citizens will tell you that the commitment to caring for others combined with a strong work ethic and community spirit makes “Calhoun County…the perfect” place to live.
