2011-12 Ohio Valley Conference Basketball Media Guide • 3

E

ntering its 64th 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 will begin competition in the 2012-13 academic year. The addition of Belmont will give 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. SIUE will begin regular season competition this season (2011-12) and be eligible for postseason the same year Belmont joins the league.

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. She is currently one of just five females to be the head of a Division I conference, and one of just eight to lead a Division I conference all-time. The last three commissioners of the OVC have moved onto jobs as the commissioner of the Big Ten, Big 12 and the MidAmerican Conferences.

The OVC’s proud history past 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 institutions 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 non-traditionally 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 African-Americans.

The first Division I-AA/FCS football playoff was held in 1978 with only four teams, which is the only year through present day that the OVC did not field a playoff representative. In 1979, four of the nation’s top teams were invited to the playoffs, and two of them - Eastern Kentucky and Murray State - were from the OVC. Eastern Kentucky would go on to win the national championship in each 1979 and 1982.

Football wasn’t the only sport in which the OVC was quickly gaining respect. In 1955, the OVC became only the second six-member league nationally to earn an automatic bid to the prestigious NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament, which, at that time, was limited to only 24 participants. The Conference quickly proved worthy of that bid, as Morehead State defeated Marshall (107-92) and Wayne State (95-84) in the 1956 tournament.

Fifteen years later, former OVC member Western Kentucky became the first and only Conference team to reach the Final Four. The Hilltoppers defeated Jacksonville, Kentucky and Ohio State before losing to Villanova in double overtime. WKU went on to finish in third place after beating Kansas 77-75 in the consolation game.

Since that time, the OVC has recorded some of the biggest upsets in the history of the NCAA Tournament. Perhaps the most famous moment came in 1987, when Austin Peay came from fourth place in the regular season to win the OVC Tournament and earn the league’s automatic bid. The Governors drew powerful Illinois, and were such big underdogs, that ESPN broadcaster Dick Vitale promised to stand on his head if APSU won the game. After a 68-67 victory over the Illini, and a narrow 90-87 overtime loss to eventual Final Four participant Providence in the second round, Vitale made good on his promise in a visit to Clarksville two months later.

Murray State added to the OVC’s string of upsets in 1988 when it knocked off 14th-ranked North Carolina State, 78-75. The Racers’ M&M Boys - Jeff Martin and Don Mann - combined for 39 points in the win. MSU nearly went on to the Sweet 16 that year, losing to eventual national champion Kansas, 61-58. A bank shot by Mann that would’ve given the Racers a one-point lead rolled off the rim with three seconds left.

In 1990 as a No. 16 seed, Murray State took No. 1 seed Michigan State into overtime before falling 75-71; that game still marks the closest a No. 16 seed has come to knocking off a No. 1 in men’s tournament action. More recently, Murray State has dominated the OVC Tournament, reaching the championship game every year in the 1990’s. The Racers’ 14 OVC Tournament Championships are the most among all OVC schools.

After former member Middle Tennessee State won a first round game in 1989, the league had a drought as no other OVC team won a NCAA Tournament game for the next 19 years. But Morehead State, coming off a thrilling double overtime OVC Tournament victory over Austin Peay, topped Alabama State 58-43 in the Opening Round game at Flyer Arena in Dayton, Ohio. The game was played in front of an Opening Round record crowd of 11,346; that crowd included many MSU fans who made the three-hour drive from Morehead for the game. The Eagles season would come to three days later when they lost to No. 1 overall seed Louisville, despite playing the Cardinals close for a majority of the game.

In 2009-10, Murray State made OVC history by winning a record 31 games (31-5) on its way to the league’s regular season and tournament championship. In the first round of the NCAA Tournament, the No. 13 seed Racers topped Vanderbilt in thrilling fashion when senior Danero Thomas hit a jumper as time expired to lift MSU to a 66-65 victory.

It marked the first OVC team to advance to the second round of the NCAA Tournament since 1989, and snapped a skid of 71-straight loses to Southeastern Conference foes

(dating back to 2000-01). In the second round the Racers pushed eventual national runner-up Butler to the brink before losing 54-52.

In 2010-11 Morehead State would make it three NCAA Tournament wins in as many years for the league and got a bit of revenge for the 2009 tournament loss to Louisville in the process. After finishing second in the regular season and winning the OVC Tournament Championship, the No. 13 seeded Eagles were shipped to Denver to play its in-state foe Cardinals. MSU jumped out to a 15-2 advantage but were down four points (61-57) with just over a minute to play in regulation. After two free throws from two-time OVC Player of the Year Kenneth Faried, the Eagles held for one final shot attempt and senior Demonte Harper pulled up off a cross-over dribble to nail a 3-pointer with 4.3 seconds left that gave Morehead State a 62-61 lead. UofL had one last attempt but Faried blocked the Cardinals last shot, giving MSU the win, its first over Louisville since the 1956-57 season.

The OVC has now won NCAA Tournament games in three-straight seasons, something that has happened in the league only twice previously (1960-62 and 198789). Over that time period (2009-11) the OVC is one of just 10 conferences nationally to win a NCAA Tournament game in each season and one of only four non-BCS leagues (joining the Atlantic 10, Horizon and WCC) to do so.

During the 2010-11 year Faried, the nation’s leading rebounder during the season, became the NCAA’s Modern Era (since 1973) career rebounding leader, totaling 1,673 rebounds which passed Tim Duncan for the record (he is 11th all-time in NCAA history). Faried also finished his career with 86 double-doubles, second all-time to only Duncan. He is one of only six players in NCAA history to finish with 2,000-plus career points (2,009) and 1,600-plus career rebounds. Faried was drafted 22nd overall by the Denver Nuggets in the 2011 NBA Draft, becoming the first OVC player selected in the first round since Tennessee State’s Carlos Rogers 1994.

Through its 63 years, 12 teams have won or shared the league’s regular season men’s basketball title. Murray State heads the list with a Conference-record 22 outright or shared basketball crowns. Other past champions include former member Western Kentucky (19), Morehead State (9), Austin Peay (8), Eastern Kentucky (6), Tennessee Tech (5), former member Middle Tennessee (5), Tennessee State (2), former member East Tennessee State (2), Southeast Missouri State (1), UT Martin (who won its first in 2008-09) and former member Akron (1).

Among the coaching greats in men’s basketball have been Western Kentucky’s E.A. Diddle, who retired with 759 victories and 10 OVC titles; John Oldham, who was a member of the very first All-OVC squad and went on to win seven OVC crowns during his coaching tenure at Tennessee Tech and Western Kentucky; Paul McBrayer, who guided Eastern Kentucky to 219 wins and three OVC crowns; and Cal Luther, who is the only person in Conference history to win men’s basketball Coach of the Year honors at two league schools - Murray State and UT Martin. Current Austin Peay head coach Dave Loos became the winningest coach in OVC history in 2009-10, netting his 319th victory and passing Luther on the all-time list. Loos enters the 2011-12 season with 351 victories.

There have been an equal number of great players including Western Kentucky’s Clem Haskins, who is the only three-time OVC Player of the Year. Several players have won OVC Player of the Year honors twice: Western Kentucky’s Jim McDaniels (196970 and 1970-71), Murray State’s Les Taylor (1971-72, 1972-73), Jeff Martin (1987-88, 1988-89), Popeye Jones (1989-90, 1990-91) and Marcus Brown (1994-95, 1995-96), Austin Peay’s Otis Howard (1976-77, 1977-78), Middle Tennessee’s Jerry Beck (1980-81, 1981-82), Akron’s Joe Jakubick (1982-83, 1983-84), Tennessee State’s Carlos Rogers (1992-93, 1993-94), UT Martin’s Lester Hudson (2007-08, 2008-09) and Morehead State’s Kenneth Faried (2009-10, 2010-11).

The OVC also has the honor of being the only conference to boast the nation’s leaders in scoring, rebounding and assists all in one season. That feat was accomplished in 1991-92 by Morehead State’s Brett Roberts (28.1 ppg), Murray State’s Popeye Jones (14.4 rpg) and Tennessee Tech’s Van Usher (8.8 apg).

In 2007-08, UT Martin guard Lester Hudson became the first men’s Division I player to record a quadruple-double in a game, when he registered 25 points, 12 rebounds, 10 assists and 10 steals in a victory over Central Baptist College. Hudson, who ranked fourth in scoring nationally as a junior, returned for his senior season in 2008-09 and was second nationally in scoring (behind Davidson’s Stephen Curry) at 27.5 points a contest. Hudson earned numerous honors (including OVC Player of the Year and OVC Male Athlete of the Year in each 2008 and 2009 and All-American status from several outlets) before being drafted by the Boston Celtics with the No. 58 pick of the 2009 NBA Draft.

In the late 1970s, women’s athletics began somewhat of 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 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.

Women’s basketball in the OVC has been dominated by Tennessee Tech, which has won or shared 17 regular-season titles and owns nine OVC Tournament crowns. In fact, the Golden Eagles have reached the championship game of the OVC Tournament 20 times in the past 30 years. Although Tennessee Tech remains the standard-bearer,

five other teams have won 13 of the last 18 OVC Tournaments. UT Martin became the latest program to add its name to the list, capturing its first OVC Tournament title in 2011.

Austin Peay leads the group with seven crowns including four-straight from 2000-03 and back-to-back titles in 2009 and 2010, while Tennessee State, Eastern Kentucky, Murray State and Southeast Missouri each have won titles during that span.

Several coaches have made their mark in the relatively short history of OVC women’s basketball. Former Tennessee Tech coach Marynell Meadors posted an amazing 363-139 (72.3%) record at Tech, becoming the first woman in NCAA or AIAW history to win 300 games at the same institution, while former Tennessee State skipper Teresa Phillips earned National Coach of the Year honors from USA Today in 1990 for turning around the Lady Tigers’ program before going on to lead TSU to the NCAA Tournament in 1994 and 1995. Tennessee Tech coach Bill Worrell capped a stellar 20-year career in 2005-06 and was inducted into the OVC Hall of Fame in 2007; he compiled a 408-190 record while leading the Golden Eagles to an unprecedented 16 OVC regular-season titles and eight NCAA Tournament appearances, including five straight from 1989-93.

Eastern Kentucky’s Larry Joe Inman, who retired at the conclusion of the 2007-08 season and was inducted into the OVC Hall of Fame in 2009, won more than 100 games at both Middle Tennessee and EKU, and earned OVC Coach of the Year honors a record eight times - five times at EKU and three at MTSU. He finished his career with 480 career victories.

Many great players have graced the hardwood over the years, including former OVC Players of the Year Brooke Armistead and Gerlonda Hardin from Austin Peay, Pam Chambers, Jerilynn Harper, Cheryl Taylor, Angela Moorehead, Roschelle Vaughn, Diane Seng, Janet Holt and Emily Christian from Tennessee Tech; Morehead State’s Donna Murphy, Priscilla Blackford and Chynna Bozeman; Eastern Kentucky’s Kim Mays; Southeast Missouri’s Gray C. Harris; and Murray State’s Ashley Hayes.

Bozeman finished her collegiate career in 2010-11 by winning her second consecutive OVC Player of the Year award. Her 2,170 points ranks her eighth all-time in OVC history, her 377 made career 3-pointers is first in OVC history and sixth in NCAA history and her 1,096 career 3-point attempts ranks first in OVC history and second in NCAA history.

The league also had another historical moment in November 2008 when the NCAA awarded Nashville the 2014 NCAA Women’s Division I Final Four. The OVC will serve as the host of the prestigious event, which is one of the biggest sporting events the city of Nashville can host. The event will be held at Bridgestone Arena in downtown Nashville.

Over its 63 years, OVC teams have garnered national championships and bowl games in football, along with national team or individual titles in the sports of rifle, cross country, track and golf.

TThe playing field is not the only place where OVC athletes are working hard.

The league also recognizes excellence in the classroom. Six Scholar-Athlete Awards are presented yearly to male and female athletes, while others are commended for their

academic success by being Medal of Honor recipients or earning a spot on the Commissioner’s Honor Roll. Additionally, the league annually presents one institutional Academic Achievement Award, as well as separate team awards in each Conference-sponsored sport. Since the College Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA) Academic All-America program began, the Ohio Valley Conference has had 202 student-athletes honored with the award, including 35 over the last three years (2008-09, 2009-10, 2010-11).

Through the early years of the league, administrators wrestled with fan behavior due to the close proximity of the Conference members and the intense rivalries which developed. Just as it did decades ago, the OVC took the leadership role on what has become a national issue. In 1995, the OVC implemented a first-of-its-kind “Sportsmanship Statement,” a policy which promotes principles of fair play, ethical conduct and respect for one’s opponent. The statement has become a model for others to follow across the nation, and has answered the challenge of the NCAA Presidents Commission to improve sportsmanship in collegiate athletics.

Additionally, the OVC annually presents the Steve Hamilton Sportsmanship Award, in honor of the former Morehead State student-athlete, coach and athletics director, to a junior or senior student-athlete with significant athletic contributions who best exemplifies the characteristics of sportsmanship and citizenship. Most recently, the Conference has also implemented the OVC Institutional and Team Sportsmanship Awards, which are presented to one institution and 18 sport-specific teams voted by their peers to have best exhibited the standards of sportsmanship and ethical conduct as outlined by the OVC and NCAA. The vision of leadership demonstrated by the Founding Fathers in 1948 remains alive today as the Ohio Valley Conference prepares for the future. One example is in regard to the current trend in collegiate athletics administration for increased involvement of university presidents in setting policies and making rules. The presidents of OVC institutions, however, have always governed the Conference, long before presidential governance became a national theme.

The Ohio Valley Conference sponsors the following sports: baseball, basketball, cross country, football, golf, tennis and track for men, and basketball, cross country, golf, soccer, softball, tennis, track and volleyball for women. In addition, the OVC also sponsors the combined men’s and women’s sport of rifle.

Now in its seventh decade of competition, the Ohio Valley Conference has grown significantly from its humble beginnings while increasing the number of athletics opportunities it provides for students. Current league representatives include charter members Eastern Kentucky University, Morehead State University and Murray State University, along with Austin Peay State University, Eastern Illinois University, Jacksonville State University, Southeast Missouri State University, Southern Illinois University Edwardsville, Tennessee State University, Tennessee Technological University and the University of Tennessee at Martin. Belmont University will become the league’s 12th member on July 1, 2012.

OVC HONORS AND AWARDS The Ohio Valley Conference implemented a first-of-its-kind “Sportsmanship Statement,” a policy promoting fair play, ethical conduct and respect for one’s opponent in 1995. The statement answered a challenge of the NCAA Presidents Commission to improve sportsmanship in college athletics, and has become a model for others to follow across the nation.

The development of the OVC sportsmanship statement began in June 1993 at the direction of the league’s presidents. A committee made up of athletics directors and faculty representatives drafted the initial statement, and all coaches and other administrators had the opportunity for input. The statement sets forth expectations for spirit groups, officials and fans, as well as the student-athletes and coaches. Here is a brief synopsis of each group’s expectations within the sportsmanship statement.

Administrators: Institutional administrators will create an environment of hospitality for visiting teams, particularly for those individuals at Conference institutions. Administrators will treat the visiting teams and its fans in the same manner that they would want their teams to be treated.

Coaches: Coaches have the greatest amount of influence over whether young people in their programs are taught and follow the high principles of sportsmanship. The OVC has been benefited by coaches who have risked losing a contest by removing student-athletes who have demonstrated disrespect for their opponents. This discipline measure educates that individual about the importance of sportsmanship over participation and winning, and helps counteract the constant messages received from many professional athletes who demonstrate a lack of respect for opponents.

Student-Athletes: Student-athletes at OVC institutions will be expected to treat opponents with sportsmanship, and there will be no tolerance for taunting and baiting of opponents. OVC student-athletes must understand that they are perhaps the most visible representatives of their institutions and their behavior is observed and emulated by many who are younger.

OVC student-athletes must honor the responsibilities that accompany the privilege of representing our schools by behaving with dignity and class on and off the field.

Spirit Groups: Like our student-athletes, spirit groups are visible representatives of our universities, and they are expected to show decent behavior.

Cheerleaders, bands and other spirit groups are admitted to contests to support their teams and assist in creating a fun atmosphere, but they will not be allowed to disrupt or confront opposing teams.

Officials: Officials will enforce the rules regarding sportsmanship without tolerance for abuse. Players and coaches will receive their only warning prior to the contest, and once the contest begins, penalties will be assessed for violations of unsportsmanlike conduct.

Fans: We know all fans are embarrassed by the inappropriate behavior of a few who may engage in confrontational and threatening actions towards officials, visiting fans, players or coaches. Those individuals may be dismissed to provide a better environment for others.

The Conference believes that the effort to meet the expectations outlined in the sportsmanship statement will increase the attractiveness at our athletics events by creating a healthy environment for competition. A complete copy of the sportsmanship statement can be obtained by calling the OVC office at (615) 371-1698.

The OVC has a variety of awards to recognize sportsmanship by its

student-athletes, coaches, administrators and teams. In 1998, the OVC established the Steve Hamilton Sportsmanship Award, presented annually to a male or female junior or senior student-athlete who best exemplifies the characteristics of the former Morehead State student-athlete, coach and administrator. Hamilton is the only individual to have ever played in a NCAA Basketball Championship, a Major League Baseball World Series (New York Yankees) and a National Basketball Association Championship Series (Minnesota Lakers).

In 2003-04 the League began awarding the Institutional Sportsmanship Award, given to the OVC member institution selected by its peers to have best exhibited the standards of sportsmanship and ethical conduct as outlined by the OVC and NCAA. In 2005-06 the League expanded the sportsmanship award program by adding the Team Sportsmanship Award. An award is given to each sport sponsored by the OVC and is voted on by the student-athletes and coaches of the respective sports.

OVC TO HOST 2014 NCAA WOMEN’S FINAL FOUR On Nov. 14, 2008 the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) informed representatives from the Ohio Valley Conference and the Nashville Sports Council that the City of Nashville has been awarded the 2014 NCAA Division I Women’s Basketball Final Four. The event will take place at Bridgestone Arena in downtown Nashville.

In conjunction with the NCAA Division I Women’s Basketball Final Four, Nashville will also host the Women’s Basketball Coaches Association (WBCA) National Convention. The WBCA is the national association of approximately 5,000 basketball coaches representing all levels of the game, including junior high, AAU, high school, college and professional.

Nashville was one of five cities awarded the Division I Women’s Basketball Final Four’s between the years of 2012 and 2016. Other cities selected to host the Final Four during that time period include (with arena and host institution): • 2012: Denver, Pepsi Center, Mountain West Conference • 2013: New Orleans, New Orleans Arena, University of New Orleans • 2014: Nashville, Bridgestone Arena, Ohio Valley Conference • 2015: Tampa Bay, St. Pete Times Forum, University of South Florida • 2016: Indianapolis, Lucas Oil Stadium, Butler University/IUPUI/Horizon League The process to secure the Division I Women’s Final Four began in January 2008 with an initial meeting of the Music City Bid Committee, co-chaired by Vice-Mayor Diane Neighbors and Margaret Behm. The OVC and Nashville Sports Council submitted an official bid to the NCAA in June 2008 and were announced as one of the eight finalists in August 2008. The NCAA Division I Women’s Basketball Committee and NCAA staff made a two-day visit to Nashville in mid-October 2008 and Nashville’s local bid committee made a final presentation to the NCAA in Indianapolis on Nov. 12, 2008.

“This is great news for Nashville”, said Nashville Mayor Karl Dean. “I applaud the Sports Council, the Ohio Valley Conference and the bid committee for all the work they put into making this happen, specifically Vice-Mayor Diane Neighbors and Margaret Behm. This news speaks to what a great destination Nashville is for large events and their participants, and it helps validate the need for a new, much larger convention center downtown. This event is only possible because by 2014 the Music City Center will be open and fully operational. I look forward to Nashville hosting this event and to showing the Women’s Final Four participants all that Music City has to offer.”

“This is a great day for Music City,” said Nashville Vice-Mayor and Music City Bid Committee Co-Chair Diane Neighbors. “The Nashville team worked very hard and produced a fantastic proposal. Over the next six years we will be putting together a Final Four that players, coaches, and fans won’t forget. Congratulations Nashville!”

“The community wide support we have received throughout the bid process has been phenomenal,” said Music City Bid Committee Co-Chair Margaret Behm. “That broad ranging support coupled with Middle Tennessee’s long tradition of celebrating women’s basketball makes Nashville the perfect host site for the 2014 Women’s Final Four.”

“This is a phenominal event to celebrate coming to Nashville,” said Ohio Valley Conference Commissioner Beth DeBauche. “The Women’s Basketball Committee having faith in the OVC and Nashville Sports Council to serve as hosts is a tribute to our organizations. It will be a fun ride to exceed their expectations and make 2014 the best Women’s Final Four ever.”

“We are pleased that the NCAA has awarded the 2014 Women’s Final Four to Nashville,” said Nashville Sports Council President & CEO Scott Ramsey. “This event is one of the most high profile annual events on the national sports calendar and will bring tremendous national exposure, prestige and economic impact to our community. We look forward to beginning the planning and preparation to host an unforgettable experience for the student-athletes, fans and everyone associated with the Women’s Final Four.”

When evaluating prospective host cities, the committee reviewed each city’s competition venue, convention center, hotel community, transportation plans, legacy programs and financial commitment, as well as the community’s and prospective host institution/conference’s overall commitment to the event.

“The women’s basketball committee invested a tremendous amount of time and effort in the Women’s Final Four site selection process,” said Jacki Silar, chair of the NCAA Division I Women’s Basketball Committee and associate director of athletics at Duke University. “It was a very difficult and important decision and it was the committee’s charge to determine which of the cities would best serve as future host sites for the pinnacle of women’s basketball – the Women’s Final Four. The committee appreciated the work and effort of each of the cities that participated in this bid selection process. Committee members evaluated each prospective host city based on many criteria, weighing each element’s importance and what is critical to successfully host a Women’s Final Four.”

“We would like to express our appreciation to the prospective host cities and bid committees that participated in the bid process for the 201216 Women’s Final Four,” said NCAA Executive Vice President Tom Jernstedt. “The time, effort and enthusiasm in each of their bids were noteworthy and because of this kind of commitment and engagement, the Women’s Final Four will continue to be the outstanding ’celebration’ of women’s basketball that it has become. This was a difficult decision by the Division I Women’s Basketball Committee, and I applaud their efforts in determining the five cities that will serve as the future host cities for the pinnacle event in women’s basketball.”

“The selection of Nashville and the Ohio Valley Conference to host the NCAA Final Four is an example of the quality work this conference does on behalf of the student-athletes that call the OVC home,” said Rob Cross, Murray State University head women’s basketball coach. “As a conference we certainly value the opportunity to host such a tremendous event in the home of our own tournament championship. We look forward to the rest of the nation seeing what we 12 • 2011-12 Ohio Valley Conference Basketball Media Guide

already know...that the people of this area are extremely passionate about basketball. As the excitement builds for the Final Four in Nashville it will certainly help build upon the reputation the OVC enjoys as an exciting basketball league.”

“Having Nashville host the Women’s Final Four is beyond exciting,” said Tracee Wells, Tennessee State University head women’s basketball coach. “Nashville is a great city that has many things for visitors to get involved in like music, theatre, sports and history to name a few. Music City will more than welcome the thousands of fans who travel to support women’s basketball. Both the OVC and the WBCA are always looking for ways to grow the women’s game; Nashville will be a great atmosphere to showcase great basketball while showing great fans a great time in a great city!”

OVC TO ALSO HOST 2012 MEN’S CHAMPIONSHIP 2ND/3RD ROUNDS On Sept. 21, 2009 the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) informed representatives from the Ohio Valley Conference and Nashville Sports Council that the City of Nashville has been awarded the 2012 NCAA Division I Men’s Basketball Championship Second and Third Round (previously known as the First and Second Rounds before the expansion to 68 teams).

The event will take place on March 16 and 18 and will be held at the Bridgestone Arena in downtown Nashville with the Ohio Valley Conference serving as the host.

This marks the fourth time since 2000 that the event will be held in the City of Nashville and at the Bridgestone Arena (2000, 2003 and 2005).

Each of the three previous events were sell outs. Overall it is the eighth time the tournament has been in Nashville as the first and second rounds have also been held in the city in 1982, 1989 and 1993 as were the 1973 Regional Semifinals/Finals.

“Having been a member of this community for more than three decades, the Ohio Valley Conference is pleased to be able to bring marquee events that show off the best of intercollegiate athletics to the City of Nashville,” said Beth DeBauche, Ohio Valley Conference Commissioner. “We are proud to be able to showcase not only the OVC, but Bridgestone Arena and the City of Nashville to all the fans who will visit our city during the event.”

“We are excited to have March Madness back in Music City for the fourth time since 2000. This is a great event from both an economical and media exposure standpoint for our community,” said Scott Ramsey, President and CEO of the Nashville Sports Council.

In all the NCAA Division I Men’s Basketball Committee selected 36 cities over a threeyear period (2011-13) to serve as hosts for the NCAA Men’s Basketball Championship.

“Having recently completed the Final Four site selection process, the committee knew this would be a challenge,” said Dan Guerrero, director of athletics at UCLA and current basketball committee chair at the time of the selection. “We received some 70 bids and each city could, justifiably, provide a quality championship experience for the student-athletes.

Interest remains incredibly high in hosting the championship.”

Other cities selected for first/second rounds games in 2012 include Albuquerque, N.M., Louisville, Ky., Pittsburgh, Pa., Portland, Ore., Columbus, Ohio, Greensboro, N.C. and Omaha, Neb. The regional sites for 2012 are Boston, Mass., Phoenix, Ariz., Atlanta, Ga. and St. Louis, Mo. The 2012 Men’s Final Four will be played at the Louisiana Superdome in New Orleans, La. 2011-12 Ohio Valley Conference Basketball Media Guide • 13

Preseason Player of the Year Kevin Murphy, Tennessee Tech The 2011-12 All-OVC Preseason Men’s Basketball team is headlined by Tennessee Tech senior Kevin Murphy, who was a first-team All-OVC selection a season ago.

Overall six different schools were represented on the team with Austin Peay, Murray State, Tennessee State and Tennessee Tech having two selections apiece. Eastern Illinois and Southeast Missouri each had one selection to round out the team. The squad features three players who were All-OVC first-team selections last season, three players who were second-team selections and four players who were selected to the the All-Newcomer squad.

Murphy’s 17.0 points/game last season ranked third in the league and helped the high-powered Tennessee Tech offense lead the OVC in scoring (74.6 points/game). His played help the Golden Eagles to 20 victories for the first time since 2002-03 and a berth in the OVC Tournament Championship game. Although TTU came up short in that game, they were invited to the CollegeInsider.com Postseason Tournament, marking the first postseason play for the program since 2001-02. Murphy also averaged 4.5 rebounds, 1.7 assists and 1.0 steals/game while hitting 47.8 percent from the field in 33 total contests.

In addition to Murphy, Austin Peay’s TyShwan Edmondson (17.1 ppg, 4.5 rpg, 2.0 apg, 1.8 spg) and Murray State’s Isaiah Canaan (11.7 ppg, 1.9 rpg, 2.4 apg, 1.1 spg) were each first-team selections last year and are on the preseason team this year.

Postseason Success: Not since the late 1980s has the OVC experienced the kind of NCAA Tournament success the program has had in the last three years. After winning NCAA Tournament games in each 1987, 1988 and 1989, the OVC went 20 years without a NCAA victory.

That changed in 2009 when Morehead State topped Alabama State 58-43 in front of a record crowd at the Opening Round game in Dayton, Ohio. A year later it was No. 13 seed Murray State who won, topping No. 4 seed Vanderbilt 66-65 when Danero Thomas nailed a buzzerbeater in San Jose. Last season it was Morehead State’s turn again, as the Eagles were seeded 13th and sent to Denver to battle No. 4-seed Louisville. MSU got off to a 15-2 lead nearly eight minutes into the game but trailed 61-59 with 31 seconds to play. On its final possession senior Demonte Harper nailed a 3-pointer from the top of the key with 4.3 seconds remaining to give Morehead State the lead and Kenneth Faried blocked Louisville’s last shot attempt to seal the victory. It marked the third time in OVC history that teams had won NCAA Tournament games in three consecutive seasons (1960-61-62, 1987-88-89 and 2009-10-11). The OVC has never won at least one NCAA Tournament game in four-straight years.

OVC One of Just 10 Conferences to Win NCAA Tournament Games in Each of Past Three Seasons: The OVC is one of just 10 Division I conferences to win a NCAA Tournament game in each of the past three years and one of just four non-BCS conferences to achieve the feat.

The other non-BCS leagues to win a game in each of the last three years are the Atlantic 10, Horizon and West Coast Conferences. The ACC, Big 12, Big East, Big Ten, Pac-10/12 and SEC are the BCS-level conferences that have won at least one game in each of the past three years.

A Record Four OVC Teams in Posteason: For the first time in OVC history in 2010-11, four different men’s basketball teams competed in postseason play. Morehead State won the OVC Tournament and played in the NCAA Tournament, regular season champion Murray State participated in the NIT, Austin Peay played in the College Basketball Invitational (CBI) and Tennessee Tech participated in the CollegeInsider.com Postseason Tournament (CIT). It also marked the third-straight season that three or more OVC teams have participated in postseason competition, also a first for the league.

OVC Tournament Format and Home Enters Year No. 2: After debuting a new format and home for the OVC Tournament in 2011, the tournament will once again return to Municipal Auditorium in Nashville this year. Once again the top eight men’s and women’s teams will qualify for the tournament and advance to play in Nashville (as opposed to playing first round games in campus sites) under a merit-based format. The No. 1 and 2 seeds will receive two byes to the semifinals while the No. 3 and 4 seeds will receive one bye into the quarterfinals. The first round will include the No. 5 seed against the No. 8 seed and the No. 6 seed against the No. 7 seed.

Regular Season Schedule Takes Slightly Different Format This Season: For the past six seasons and for 61 of the 63 years that basketball has been played in the OVC, the men’s basketball schedule has been a double-round robin, meaning every league team played every other league team twice. That changes this year with the addition of SIUE to the regular season slate as the 11-team OVC will play a 16-game schedule instead of a 20-game round robin (which the league played from 2005-06 through 2007-08). With the 16-game schedule a team will play every other OVC school once, and play six of the 10 other schools twice (home and away) during the season. Each year there are only four teams that each school is not playing on a home and away basis. Several factors contributed to the switch to a 16-game schedule including creating more opportunity to schedule non-conference games and to have fewer games played during the month of December. The schedules makeup (i.e. which teams played what teams twice) was determined by several factors including historical and traditional rivalries and geography/proximity of the teams. The only other previous seasons the league did not play a full round robin schedule were in 2003-04 and 2004-05 (the seasons after Jacksonville State and Samford first joined the league). The schedule could potentially see more changes next season when the league expands to 12 teams to include Belmont.

SIUE Ready for Full OVC Schedule This Season: On July 1, 2008 Southern Illinois University Edwardsville (SIUE) became the 11th member of the Ohio Valley Conference. This season marks the first for the Cougars playing a full (16-game) OVC schedule. SIUE is eligible for the OVC Regular Season Championship but since they have one year left in the reclassification process to Division I, are ineligible for the OVC and NCAA Tournaments until next season.

Addition of Belmont Gives OVC Record 12 Schools in 2012-13: On May 13, 2011, Belmont University accepted an invitation to join the Ohio Valley Conference on July 1, 2012. Belmont, located just nine miles north of the OVC headquarters, will play its final year in the Atlantic Sun Conference this season. The Bruins men’s basketball team has made four NCAA Tournament appearances in the past six season, including finishing 30-5 (one of nine Division I teams with at least 30 wins) and earning a No. 13 seed in 2010-11. The addition of Belmont (and SIUE’s eligibility for postseason play next year) will give the OVC a record 12 schools for the 2012-13 season.

OVC to Host NCAA Tournament 2nd/3rd Rounds in March: The Ohio Valley Conference will serve as the host of the NCAA Division I Men’s Basketball Championship Second/Third Rounds at Bridgestone Arena this March. The games will be played on Friday, March 16 and Sunday, March 18. The pairings will be announced on Sunday, March 12 at 5 p.m. CT on CBS. Tickets for the games went on sale to the public in October.

RETURNING STATISTICAL LEADERS

Preseason Predictions: Is being picked the preseason favorite always a good thing? Over the past 32 years of preseason polls that were available, the league’s head coaches and sports information directors correctly picked the eventual OVC regular season champion 62.5 percent of the time, picking the correct winner 20 times over the past 32 years. Over the past 11 years, the preseason poll has correctly picked the winner six times. Last season the poll tabbed Murray State to win the regular season championship, which is did. It marked the first time in th elast decade that the preseason poll had predicted the champion correctly in back-to-back years.

ALL-TIME COACHING VICTORIES Austin Peay head coach Dave Loos became the winningest coach in OVC history during the 2009-10 season. Loos passed the all-time mark previously held by Cal Luther (319). Below is a list of where the 11 current head coaches rank in OVC history. The overall record listed includes only seasons the coaches were a member of the OVC. In total, 94 coaches have led programs while a member of the OVC from 1948 to the present.

Tennessee Tech senior Kevin Murphy was tabbed the OVC Preseason Player of the Year in a vote of head coaches and sports information directors. Murphy enters the season as the OVC’s active leading scorer with 1,498 points. He is only 578 points away from the OVC’s career Top 10 scoring list, and would need to average just over 19 points a game (over 30 games) to join the list. If he reaches the 2,000-point plateau, he will become one of just 15 players in the league’s history to score that many points.

20 • 2011-12 Ohio Valley Conference Basketball Media Guide

Sears BracketBusters Format: In its 10th year, Sears BracketBusters is an ESPN television property that was tremendously successful with its first nine events in February of 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010 and 2011. The event has allowed Division I conferences to participate in a cutting-edge format that involves “wild card” pairings from the pool of participating teams, with half of the ESPN BracketBusters teams pre-designated as “home” and the remaining half as “road” teams.

OVC Schools in the Event: For the seventh straight year, every Ohio Valley Conference schools will participate in the BracketBusters series. Six schools will host games this season while the other five will go on the road. Austin Peay has competed in the most BracketBusters games (8) while Murray State has the best record in the event (5-2).

What Makes BracketBusters Different From Other Events: What sets Sears BracketBusters apart from the other made-for-television events is that the pairings of teams is not pre-determined. The actual pairings take place three weeks in advance of the event, and those matchups are determined on the basis of regular season play. Another important component for BracketBusters participants is future scheduling. Each team that participates in any given year agrees to enter into a home-and-home series with its to-be-named opponent. The return game of each series is made in November or December in a season following the BracketBusters game. This return game allows for the completion of the two-game series contract and is not part of the BracketBusters event in that second year.

BracketBusters Pool Versus Field: The Sears BracketBusters pool is defined as the original 142 participating teams prior to the pairing of teams for the television package. The Sears BracketBusters field is defined as the 26 teams chosen for the 13 games televised on the ESPN family of networks (ESPN, ESPN2, ESPNU, ESPN3).

2012 Sears BracketBusters Evaluation and Pairings Process: The evaluation and pairings of teams for the ESPN television package will be made by the staff of ESPN, in consultation with the commissioners of participating conferences.

Consideration will be given to avoiding matchups of conference teams and matchups of any teams that have already met during the current season. ESPN, in consultation with the conference commissioners, will make pairing decisions on Sunday, January 29, and those selections will be announced on Monday afternoon, January 30. The selection of ESPN networks and start times will not be announced until a week later.

2011 NCAA Tournament Field: Last year’s Sears BracketBusters pool included 13 teams who earned berths into the NCAA Tournament: Akron, Boston University, George Mason, Indiana State, Morehead State, Northern Colorado, Old Dominion, Saint Peter’s, UC-Santa Barbara, UNC Ashville, Utah State, VCU and Wofford.

Those teams combined for eight wins: George Mason defeated Villanova; Morehead State defeated Louisville; UNC Ashville defeated Arkansas-Little Rock; VCU defeated USC, Georgetown, Purdue, Florida State and Kansas on its way to the Final Four.

TEAM NOTES • Head coach Dave Loos, a five-time OVC Coach of the Year (1991, 1997, 2003, 2004, 2007) became the winningest coach in OVC history during the 2009-10 season. Loos, now in his 22nd season at APSU, is the current Dean of OVC coaches. He is one of just 14 Division I coaches to be at the same program for at least 20 years. He is currently the only Division I head men’s basketball coach to also serve as his school’s athletic director.

• Austin Peay has advanced to the OVC Tournament Championship Game in six of the last nine seasons.

• Last year the Governors played in six overtime contests, which was the most of any Division I team.

• APSU returns four starters from last year’s team as well as Anthony Campbell, who started 31 games in 2009-10 before being injured 10 games into the 2010-11 season.

TEAM NOTES • Senior guard Jeremy Granger led the team in scoring at 14.5 points/game last season and is known as a tremendous free throw shooter. A year ago Granger connected on 90.4 percent (103-of-114) of his attempts. For his career Granger has converted 222-of-254 free throw attempts (87.4%) which ranks him third all-time in OVC history.

The OVC all-time record in the category is 89.0 percent.

• Eastern Illinois junior forward James Hollowell has been consistent in terms of blocks during his two full seasons with the Panthers. Hollowell enters the year ranked fourth in career blocks at EIU with 72. He holds the school single game record with six blocked shots against Jacksonville State in 2010.

• The Panthers will rack up some miles in the air this year as the non-conference schedule has EIU playing both Maine and Houston Baptist to book end the Holiday break.

EIU will cover just less than 4,500 miles in those two trips alone. EIU will also play Big Ten member Northwestern and regional rival Indiana State on this year’s slate.

TEAM NOTES • Head coach Jeff Neubauer earned his 100th victory at EKU last February at Jacksonville State. Neubauer is 102-86 (.542) in six years on the Colonel bench. Only two other Eastern coaches have ever won 100 games – Paul McBrayer (1946-62 – 219 wins) and Rome Rankin (1935-46 – 135).

• EKU lost 54 percent of its scoring from last season, including three of its top four scorers. All four newcomers – junior guard D’Mitri Riggs, freshman guard Timmy Knipp, freshman guard Robbie Stenzel and freshman forward Eric Stutz – are expected to be major scoring contributors this season.

• The Colonels have led the Ohio Valley Conference in three-pointers made per game in three consecutive years.

Senior guard Joshua Jones is the team’s top returning three-point shooter. He made 51 trifectas in 2010-11 while shooting 37.8 percent from behind the arc.

TEAM NOTES • Morehead State will look to fill the void of All-American Kenneth Faried who was drafted 22nd overall by the Denver Nuggets in the 2011 NBA Draft. Last season Faried became the NCAA’s modern era (since 1973) rebounding leader (1,673), passing Tim Duncan for the record. The two-time OVC Player of the Year averaged 17.3 points, a nation’s-best 14.5 rebounds and hit 62.3 percent from the field last year in helping MSU to the OVC Tournament Championship and a NCAA 2nd Round victory over No. 13 seed Louisville. Faried finished his career with 86 double-doubles, second in NCAA history (behind Duncan).

• For the second time in three years last season, Morehead State won a game in the NCAA Tournament, as the Eagles topped No. 4 seed Louisville 62-61 in the second round.

The win was the first over UofL for the Eagles since the 1956-57 season. MSU would fall to No. 12 seed Richmond in the third round. Morehead State is now 6-8 all-time in the NCAA Tournament.

TEAM NOTES • The Skyhawks enter the season with no player on the roster having more than one year of NCAA Division I basketball experience. UT Martin has only one senior (Dane Smith), who transferred from Kilgore College before the 2010-11 campaign.

• UT Martin will rely on three sophomores in 2011-12. Last year, the trio of Terence Smith, Mike Liabo and Troy King combined to win eight adidas Ohio Valley Conference Freshman of the Week awards, marking only the third time that one university had earned that many mentions in a single-season since the league started giving out the award in 1978-79.

• Last season, Mike Liabo became the first freshman in UT Martin history to lead the team in scoring in Ohio Valley Conference play (12.2 points per game). He also led the team with 22 double-figure scoring games.

• The Skyhawks are coming off a season in which they tripled their win output from the previous season (four to 12) and won their first Ohio Valley Conference Tournament game in Nashville in program history.

UT Martin’s Lester Hudson became the first player in NCAA Division I history to record a quadruple-double on Nov. 13, 2007 when he had 25 points, 12 rebounds, 10 assists and 10 steals in a 116-74 victory over Central Baptist. Hudson also added a triple-double later that season. Hudson, a second round draft pick of the Boston Celtics in 2009, finished his career as the OVC’s single-season scoring leader, scoring 880 points his senior season (2008-09). Hudson’s 26.6 career average ranks fifth in OVC history. He also ended his career 10th all-time in 3-pointers made (230) and first in a season for 3-pointers made (124 in 2007-08).

He was named OVC Men’s Basketball Player of the Year (as well OVC Athlete of the Year) in both of his years in the league and led the Skyhawks to its first-ever OVC Championship in 2008-09 (14-4 OVC record). UTM was a combined 25-13 in two seasons of OVC action with Hudson, which marked two of the only three winning Conference seasons the program had since joining the Conference in 1992-93.

72 • 2011-12 Ohio Valley Conference Basketball Media Guide

For the 18th time in 19 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 2012 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 six times: 1994, 1995, 1996, 2004, 2008 and 2011. 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 each the men’s and women’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).

The 2012 Championship marks the 49th 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 include March 6-9, 2013 and March 5-8, 2014.

Last season Morehead State topped Tennessee Tech in the championship game to win its second title in three years and fourth tournament title overall.

All ties will be broken starting at the top of the conference standings and working down. The tiebreaking system will utilize the following factors, in order, until all ties are broken.

TWO-WAY TIES 1. Records in head-to-head competition are compared, with the higher seed going to the team that has won the most games against the other.

2. In the event step 1 does not resolve the tie (i.e. if the two teams split their games during the season), then the records of the tying teams against the No. 1 seed shall be compared. The team with the better record against the No. 1 seed shall gain the higher seed.

3. If the potential No. 1 seed is among tied teams, the process in step 2 will begin at the highest point in the standings which does not involve a tied team.

4. The process continues, through the No. 11 team in the standings, if necessary.

5. In the event the tie cannot be broken, seeds will be determined by a coin flip.

MULTIPLE TIES 1. Composite records between the tying teams will be evaluated to determine whether one team has won more games against the other tying institutions (in which case that team would receive the higher seed) and/or one team has won the least number of games among the tied teams (in which case the team will receive the lowest seed), and/or two teams have the same composite record (in which case the two-team tiebreaker scenario shall be utilized).

2. In the event step 1 does not solve the multiple ties, or reduce the multiple ties to one tie, then a comparison of records of the tying institutions against the No. 1 seed will occur. The team among the tying institutions with the better record against the No. 1 seed will receive the higher seed.

3. If the potential No. 1 seed is among tied teams, the process in step 2 will begin at the highest point in the standings which does not involve a tied team.

4. The process continues, through the No. 11 team in the standings, if necessary.

5. In the event this process does not resolve the ties, seeding will be determined by a coin flip.

Note: If a multiple tie is reduced to a tie between two teams, the two-team tiebreaker formula will then be utilized. Ties involving teams higher in the standings are always broken before ties involving teams lower in the standings.

Higher winning percentages shall prevail in tiebreaker situations, even if the number of games played against a team or group if unequal (i.e. 2-0 is better than 3-1). In the case of tied percentages, 2-0 is better than 1-0 and 0-1 is better than 0-2.

For 2011-12: Although SIUE is not eligible for the OVC Tournament, they will be included in all tiebreaker scenarios (i.e. others teams records against them during the season). When it comes to seeding, SIUE will be skipped over in the final process (they will not receive a seed).

Let the Season Begin: The 2011-12 campaign kicks off with Morehead State hosting Kentucky Christian in an exhibition game on Nov. 3. The regularseason begins on Nov. 11 with Conference play starting on Dec. 28. Nine different teams have won a regular-season title with Tennessee Tech leading the way with 16.

Fourth to First: The past two season the team that has been selected to finish fourth in the Predicted Order of Finish has gone on to claim the regular-season crown. Eastern Illinois was selected fourth in the 2009-10 poll and went on to earn its first regular-season title while Tennessee Tech was predicted to finish fourth last year and won its 16th regular-season title.

16-game Conference Schedule: This season the 11 OVC women’s basketball teams will play a 16-game Conference schedule which is a change from the 18 league games they played last year. This marks the first time the league has played 16 Conference games since 2004-05. The OVC played a 20-game conference schedule in 2005-06, 2006-07 and 2007-08 and an 18-game schedule in 2008-09 and 2009-10.

OVC Women’s Basketball: Taking Charge of Monday Night: This season OVC women’s basketball will be featured on Monday nights. The league approved to move away from the men’s/women’s Thursday night doubleheaders and move the women’s games to Monday night. During the season, the OVC website will feature coach and student-athlete interviews on a weekly basis.

There will also be a trivia contest with a chance to win a t-shirt and all-session tickets to the 2012 OVC Women’s Basketball Championship in Nashville, Tenn.

SIUE Plays Regular-Season Conference Schedule: SIUE will be playing a regular-season Conference schedule for the first time since joining the league in 2008. The Cougars are finishing up their reclassification from Division II. They will be able to win the OVC regular-season championship this season and will be eligible for postseason play next year. The Cougars will be included in all OVC Tournament tiebreaker scenarios (i.e. others teams records against them during the season). When it comes to seeding, SIUE will be skipped over in the final process (they will not receive a seed).

Belmont Joins the League in 2012-13: Belmont will officially become a member of the OVC on July 1, 2012 and its athletic teams will begin competing in the Conference in the 2012-13 season. Belmont competes in 17 sports (8 men’s sports and 9 women’s sports), 16 of which will compete in the OVC (the exception being men’s soccer which is not sponsored by the OVC). The Bruins have competed in the Atlantic Sun Conference since 2001-02 and will compete in its final year in that league in 2011-12 before joining the OVC. Since 2001-02 Belmont has won 30 Atlantic Sun Championships, the second most in the conference. Bruins athletic teams have made recent NCAA Tournament appearances in men’s and women’s basketball, women’s soccer, men’s tennis and volleyball.

OVC Hosting the 2014 Women’s Final Four: The OVC and the Nashville Sports Council will host the 2014 NCAA Division I Women’s Basketball Final Four. The event will be held at the Bridgestone Arena. In conjunction with the Final Four, Nashville will also host the Women’s Basketball Coaches Association (WBCA) National Convention. The WBCA is the national association of approximately 5,000 basketball coaches representing all levels of the game, including junior high, AAU, high school, college and professional.

2010-11 In Review: Eastern Illinois was selected to win the 2010-11 title but it was Tennessee Tech who won its 16th regular-season crown which is the most in Conference history. The Golden Eagles compiled a 23-8 overall mark

and went 15-3 to capture the title and the top seed in the tournament. With the new tournament format, Tech received a double-bye into the semifinals where it defeated No. 5 Austin Peay, 65-56, to move into the championship game.

Second-seeded UT Martin edged out the Golden Eagles, 82-76, to claim its first tourney title. Tennessee Tech’s Sytia Messer earned OVC Coach of the Year honors after guiding her team to its 16th regular-season title. Morehead State’s Chynna Bozeman repeated as OVC Player of the Year after leading the league with 21.4 points per game. Tennessee Tech’s Tacarra Hayes and UT Martin’s Jasmine Newsome shared the OVC Defensive Player of the Year honor while the Skyhawks’ Heather Butler was named the Freshman of the Year. It marked the second year in a row the OVC had three women’s basketball teams in the postseason. UT Martin earned the league’s automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament while Tennessee Tech earned the Conference’s WNIT bid.

Eastern Illinois was selected to play in the Women’s Basketball Invitational.

Tennessee Tech in the Preseason WNIT: Tennessee Tech will participate in the Preseason Women’s National Invitational Tournament. The Golden Eagles will travel to East Tennessee State on Nov. 11 for first round action.

The Preseason WNIT features a three-game guarantee format. The event opens Nov. 11 with first-round games. Second-round games will be played Nov. 13-14, the semifinals will be Nov. 16-17 and the championship is set for Nov. 20. Teams that lose in the first two rounds will play consolation games on the second weekend, Nov. 18-19. All games are hosted by participating schools. Six different OVC teams have participated in the Preseason WNIT since its inception in 1994. Tech played in the tourney in 1997 where it fell to Clemson, 61-46, in the first round.

TEAM NOTES • The Lady Govs return four starters, who were also the team’s four leading scorers from last season’s squad. Senior Whitney Hanley, a second-team All-OVC pick, returns after leading the team in scoring (12.2 ppg). Also returning is senior forward Jasmine Rayner who paced the team in rebounding (7.7 rpg) and was second on the team in scoring (10.5 ppg).

• The Lady Govs will face nine teams that reached postseason play in 2010-11. Louisville reached the NCAA Tournament’s “Sweet 16” while Vanderbilt, Middle Tennessee, Bowling Green and UT Martin each lost in the tournament’s first round. Cal Poly and Tennessee Techeach played in the Postseason WNIT while UAB and Eastern Illinois played in the Women’s Basketball Invitational, which UAB went on to win • The Lady Govs coaching staff features three alumnae that have plenty of OVC Championship experience from their playing days in the league. Head coach Carrie Daniels was a member of APSU’s 1996 OVC Championship team. Assistant coach Jessica Grayson was a member of APSU’s 2003 and 2004 squads. Austin Peay Hall of Fame member Brooke Armistead is the program’s newest assistant and returns to her alma mater where she won three consecutive OVC tournament titles (2001-03) and left as the program’s all-time leading scorer (2,508 points).

TEAM NOTES • The Redhawks enter a new era as first-year head coach Ty Margenthaler takes the helm for the 2011-12 season.

Margenthaler served as an assistant coach at Wisconsin for the past five years. The Badgers posted five-straight winning seasons and won 20 games twice in that span.

He is the seventh head coach in Southeast women’s basketball history.

• Virtually the entire Southeast roster remains intact from a year ago as the Redhawks return all five starters and their top five scorers from their 2010-11 campaign.

Returners account for over 90 percent of Southeast’s scoring from last season.

•The Redhawks were one of the league’s best defensive teams a year ago, ranking second in the Ohio Valley Conference in scoring defense (65.1 ppg). Southeast allowed 60 points or less on 14 occasions in 2010-11.

For the 18th time in 19 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 2012 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 six times: 1994, 1995, 1996, 2004, 2008 and 2011. The men also held its championship at the venue in 1989.

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 each the men’s and women’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).

Future OVC Basketball Tournament dates include, March 6-9, 2013 and March 5-8, 2014.

Last year saw second-seeded UT Martin earn its first OVC Tournament title upsetting No. 1 Tennessee Tech, 82-76, in the championship game.

OVC Tournament Tiebreaker System Regular season standings will be the determining factor in setting first-round pairings for the tournament. All ties will be broken starting at the top of the conference standings and working down. The tiebreaking system will utilize the following factors, in order, until all ties are broken.

TWO-WAY TIES 1. Records in head-to-head competition are compared, with the higher seed going to the team that has won the most games against the other.

2. In the event step 1 does not resolve the tie (i.e. if the two teams split their games during the season), then the records of the tying teams against the No. 1 seed shall be compared. The team with the better record against the No. 1 seed shall gain the higher seed.

3. If the potential No. 1 seed is among tied teams, the process in step 2 will begin at the highest point in the standings which does not involve a tied team.

4. The process continues, through the No. 11 team in the standings, if necessary.

5. In the event the tie cannot be broken, seeds will be determined by a coin flip.

MULTIPLE TIES 1. Composite records between the tying teams will be evaluated to determine whether one team has won more games against the other tying institutions (in which case that team would receive the higher seed) and/or one team has won the least number of games among the tied teams (in which case the team will receive the lowest seed), and/or two teams have the same composite record (in which case the two-team tiebreaker scenario shall be utilized).

2. In the event step 1 does not solve the multiple ties, or reduce the multiple ties to one tie, then a comparison of records of the tying institutions against the No. 1 seed will occur. The team among the tying institutions with the better record against the No. 1 seed will receive the higher seed.

3. If the potential No. 1 seed is among tied teams, the process in step 2 will begin at the highest point in the standings which does not involve a tied team.

4. The process continues, through the No. 11 team in the standings, if necessary.

5. In the event this process does not resolve the ties, seeding will be determined by a coin flip.

Note: If a multiple tie is reduced to a tie between two teams, the two-team tiebreaker formula will then be utilized. Ties involving teams higher in the standings are always broken before ties involving teams lower in the standings.

Higher winning percentages shall prevail in tiebreaker situations, even if the number of games played against a team or group if unequal (i.e. 2-0 is better than 3-1). In the case of tied percentages, 2-0 is better than 1-0 and 0-1 is better than 0-2.

For 2011-12: Although SIUE is not eligible for the OVC Tournament, they will be included in all tiebreaker scenarios (i.e. others teams records against them during the season). When it comes to seeding, SIUE will be skipped over in the final process (they will not receive a seed).
