2016-17 Ohio Valley Conference Basketball Media Guide • 3

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 16 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 February 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 athleticallyrelated 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.

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.

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 in the national semifinals. 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’ 15 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 University of Dayton Arena in Dayton, Ohio. The game was played in front of an Opening Round record crowd of 11,346 and included many MSU fans who made the three-hour drive from Morehead for 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 championships. 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 the 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.

In 2011-12 Murray State put together one of the greatest seasons in OVC history, beginning the year 23-0 (an all-time OVC best) and being ranked as high as No. 7 in the coaches poll on Feb. 6. The squad was the first OVC team to be nationally-ranked since Murray State was ranked in 1997-98; in addition the top 10 ranking was the first for an OVC team since the 1970-71 campaign (WKU). The Racers would top nationally-ranked Memphis and Saint Mary’s during the season and win the league’s regular season and tournament championships. MSU earned a No. 6 seed in NCAA Tournament, the highest-ever seed for an OVC team since the NCAA began seeding the field in 1979. The Racers would top Colorado State 58-41 in the second round before falling to Marquette in the third round. Murray State would win 31 games overall, tying the OVC all-time record the Racers

set in 2009-10.

After the Murray State win in 2011-12, the league had won NCAA Tournament games in fourstraight seasons, something that had never happened in league history (three-game winning streaks from 1960-62 and 1987-89 had been the previous best streaks). Over that time period (2009-12) the OVC was one of just nine conferences nationally to win a NCAA Tournament game in each season and one of only three non-BCS leagues (joining the Atlantic 10 and WCC) to do so.

In 2013-14 Murray State won five games to claim the CollegeInsider.com Postseason Tournament (CIT) and in the process became the first OVC men’s basketball team to ever play games in the month of April.

The 2014-15 season saw five OVC men’s basketball teams earn postseason bids, the most in league history, and a year later (2015-16) that number was eclipsed with six teams making national postseason tournaments. Entering 2016-17 OVC men’s basketball teams have at least one national postseason tournament victory in eight-straight postseasons, an all-time league record.

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.

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.

Murray State guard Isaiah Canaan, a first-team All-American in 2011-12, capped his illustrious career in 2012-13 by becoming just the 17th player in OVC history to score 2,000 or more career points. Canaan, who was a key part of Murray State NCAA Tournament victories in both 2010 and 2012, earned a pair of OVC Player of the Year honors (2012 and 2013) during his career as well as being named OVC Freshman of the Year (2010), OVC Tournament MVP (2010) and OVC Male Athlete of the Year (2012). He was drafted by the Houston Rockets with the 34th overall pick (No. 2 pick of the second round) of the 2013 NBA Draft.

In 2014-15 Murray State became just the fifth OVC men’s team to complete a perfect Conference season (16-0). The Racers were led by sophomore Cameron Payne who was named OVC Men’s Basketball Player of the Year, OVC Male Athlete of the Year and earned third-team All-American honors from CBSSports.com. Following the season Payne declared for the NBA Draft, becoming the first sophomore in OVC history to do so and one of just four OVC players all-time to enter and stay in the draft with eligibility remaining. Payne was selected in the lottery by the Oklahoma City Thunder (pick No. 14 overall), making him just the ninth First Round NBA Draft pick in OVC history.

Austin Peay made history in winning the 2016 OVC Men’s Basketball Tournament as the Governors became the first No. 8 seed to claim the championship. APSU had to win its two regular season games just to qualify for the event and then won four games in four days to capture its fifth tournament crown. Along the way the Govs topped a No. 5 seed, No. 4 seed, No. 1 seed and No. 2 seed and were paced by MVP Chris Horton who averaged 22.5 points, 14.0 rebounds and 3.5 assists/ game during the event including a 37-point, 21-rebound and 30-point, 16-rebounds performance during the run.

In 2016, former Belmont All-American and 2012-13 OVC Co-Player of the Year Ian Clark became the first former OVC player to advance to the NBA Finals since former Tennessee State star Anthony Mason played for the New York Knicks in 1994. Clark was part of a Golden State Warriors team that won a NBA record 73 regular season games.

Through its 68 years, 13 teams have won or shared the league’s regular season men’s basketball title. Murray State heads the list with a Conference-record 24 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), Belmont (3), Tennessee State (2), former member East Tennessee State (2), Southeast Missouri State (1), UT Martin (1) 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 2016-17 season with 409 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 (1969-70 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), Morehead State’s Kenneth Faried (2009-10, 2010-11) and Murray State’s Isaiah Canaan (2011-12, 2012-13).

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).

Women’s basketball in the OVC has been dominated by Tennessee Tech, which has won or shared 18 regular-season titles and owns nine OVC Tournament crowns. In fact, the Golden Eagles have reached the championship game of the OVC Tournament 22 times in the past 34 years. Although Tennessee Tech remains the standard-bearer, five other teams have won 16 of the last 23 OVC Tournaments. UT Martin added its name to the list capturing its first OVC Tournament title in 2011 and also winning championships in 2012, 2013 and 2014. The Skyhawks became just the fourth team in OVC history (and first since Austin Peay from 2000-03) to win four-straight tournament titles.

In 2016 Belmont won its first-ever OVC Tournament Championship.

Several coaches have made their mark in the 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. 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 Eastern Kentucky, and earned OVC Coach of the Year honors a record eight times - five times at EKU and three at MTSU. In 2012-13 Inman came out of retirement to take the Tennessee State job; in 2014-15 he led the Lady Tigers to its first OVC Tournament Championship since 1995. Entering the 2015-16 season he has 535 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; Murray State’s Ashley Hayes; and UT Martin’s Heather Butler and Jasmine Newsome.

Morehead State center Brittany Pittman set new school, league and NCAA standards for blocked shots in 2008-09. Pittman swatted 164 shots during the season, setting a new NCAA single-season record (which has since been broken). During the campaign, only her second with the Eagles, she also set career block records for both Morehead State and the OVC (287).

In 2012-13 the UT Martin duo of Jasmine Newsome and Heather Butler finished fifth and sixth nationally among NCAA scoring leaders. Newsome, the 2012 and 2013 OVC Player of the Year, averaged 22.6 points per game on the way to All-American honors while Butler averaged 22.4 points per contest. Butler set a NCAA record during the season by connecting on a 3-pointer in her 80th-straight game.

In 2013-14 Butler and Newsome capped their brilliant careers by ranking first and second in scoring in OVC history. Butler, the 2013-14 OVC Female Athlete of the Year, finished her career with 2,865 points, which ranked first in OVC and 16th in NCAA history. She also finished her career with 392 career 3-pointers (which was tied for the most in NCAA history following her career but now ranks second) and scored in double figures in all 129 career games which ranks fifth in NCAA history.

Following the season Butler was signed by the WNBA’s San Antonio Stars where she became the first OVC player to make an active WNBA roster. Newsome capped her career with 2,566 points, second only to Butler in OVC 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 served as the host of the prestigious event, which is one of the biggest sporting events the city of Nashville can host. The event was held April 6 & 8 at Bridgestone Arena in downtown Nashville and was played in front of sold-out crowds for both the semifinals and championship as UConn topped Notre Dame in a battle of undefeated teams to win its ninth national title.

Over its 68 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.

The OVC has also produced several Olympic athletes, including Murray State’s Morgan Hicks, who was a member of the 2004 United States Olympic Rifle Team and Morehead State’s Brian Shimer who competed in five Winter Olympics in bobsled (winning a bronze medal in 2002) and coached the 2010 United States bobsled team to its first gold medal since 1948. Former Morehead State football and Eastern Kentucky track and field athlete Dallas Robinson competed with the U.S. bobsled team

during the 2014 Sochi Winter Olympics. In addition, some of the greatest players in professional sports were educated at OVC institutions. The list includes former greats such as football’s Phil Simms (Morehead State), basketball’s Clem Haskins (Western Kentucky) and Bubba Wells (Austin Peay) and two-sport star Steve Hamilton (Morehead State) to present-day standouts like basketball player Kenneth Faried (Morehead State), football players Tony Romo (Eastern Illinois) and Jimmy Garoppolo (Eastern Illinois) and baseball players A.J. Ellis (Austin Peay) and Shawn Kelley (Austin Peay). Hamilton is the only athlete to ever play in the NCAA Basketball Championship, a Major League Baseball World Series (New York Yankees) and a NBA Championship Series (Los Angeles Lakers).

The 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 251 student-athletes honored with the award, including 59 over the last six years (2010-16).

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 studentathlete 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, Belmont 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.

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 studentathletes, 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.

Beth DeBauche - Commissioner Elizabeth (Beth) DeBauche was named Commissioner of the Ohio Valley Conference on July 29, 2009 and began her duties with the league in September 2009.

DeBauche (pronounced De-BUSH) is the seventh full-time Commissioner in the 67-plus year history of the OVC. She follows Art Guepe (1963-75), Paul Dietzel (1975-76), Bob Vanatta (1976-79), Jim Delany (1979-89), Dan Beebe (19892003) and Dr. Jon A. Steinbrecher (2003-09).

In May 2011 the league announced the addition of Belmont University to the OVC beginning in 2012-13. The addition of Belmont brought the OVC to 12 teams, the largest membership total in league history.

DeBauche served as the Chair of the Nashville Local Organizing Committee (NLOC) for the 2014 NCAA Division I Women’s Basketball Final Four; the OVC served as the host institution of the event held at Bridgestone Arena in Nashville.

It was termed one of the most successful Women’s Final Four’s ever by the NCAA staff, bringing more than 30,000 people to the city and resulting in an estimated economic impact of more than 20 million dollars. It also left a long-term mark on the city and middle Tennessee through a variety of legacy programs.

Under DeBauche the league started an extensive strategic planning and branding initiative which led to the development of the league’s first tagline of “Inspiring Excellence Since 1948.” The project also produced the league’s first 30-second PSA commercial in over a decade as well as a longer feature video highlighting the Conference. The league recently adopted an updated strategic plan that includes goals for the league through 2019.

In October 2013 the League launched OVCExtra.com, a fan-focused blog which features compelling, offbeat, and social media-sourced content from around the league. During the 2014-15 year the blog added a Campus Correspondents program that included students from each member institution contributing material to the blog highlighting each of their campus communities in a creative way.

During the 2012-13 school DeBauche oversaw the switch of the league’s web streaming efforts to a free access model which was rebranded the OVC Digital Network (OVCDN). The new OVCDN included HD video for the first time and was made available on any platform/device. The Digital Network focuses on both athletic competition as well as telling the story of OVC and its member institutions. After seeing extreme growth in viewership in its first year as a free service, the OVCDN has increased its viewership in each of its four years, broadcast over 2,000 events and had a viewership of over one million.

In October 2013 the league signed a new five-year agreement with ESPN that runs through the completion of the 201718 season and includes a seven-game men’s basketball package as well as an eight-game ESPN3 Game of the Week football package which is done through a partnership with WebStream Sports. DeBauche also secured a deal with the CBS Sports Network to produce a four-game men’s basketball package for the first time in 2013-14.

During the 2015-16 academic year the OVC had the largest national basketball television package in its history with three national partners in ESPN, CBS Sports Network and the American Sports Network (ASN). The package included 22 total games including at least one national appearance for each member institution.

In her time with the league the OVC has seen postseason success in men’s basketball as Murray State topped Vanderbilt in the first round of the NCAA Tournament in 2010, Morehead State beat Louisville in the second round in 2011 and Murray State bested Colorado State in the second round in 2012. The league won NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament games in four-straight years (2009-12) which marked a first in league history. In 2016 the league had a record six men’s basketball programs compete in national postseason tournaments. Overall the OVC has had at least one victory in eight-straight postseasons, an all-time league record.

In 2013 the OVC qualified three teams for the Football Championship Subdivision (FCS) Playoffs for the first time in league history, with each of those teams winning at least one game. Overall the OVC recorded a league-record four wins in the postseason and advanced two teams to the quarterfinals in the same season for just the second time in league history.

In 2015 Jacksonville State became the first OVC team to be ranked No. 1 nationally since 1999 and first OVC squad to advance to the Division I National Championship game since 1982.

OVC student-athletes have continued to achieve high levels of success not only on the field but also in the classroom. The league has consistently seen record number of honorees on the OVC Medal of Honor and OVC Commissioner’s Honor Roll lists during her tenure. During her tenure 71 OVC student-athletes have been named CoSIDA Academic All-Americans.

DeBauche has also sponsored leadership programming for OVC student-athletes and coaches through comprehensive on-campus summits.

In October 2014 the league held its first Health and Safety Summit which was designed to engage team physicians and athletic trainers regarding national and conference issues.

In 2012-13 DeBauche helped spearhead a year-long celebration of the 40th Anniversary of Title IX.

OVC HOSTS SUCCESSFUL 2014 NCAA WOMEN’S FINAL FOUR On November 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.

After years of planning he event took place at Bridgestone Arena in downtown Nashville on April 6 and 8, 2014. More than 35,000 basketball fans attended the three championship games and a record-breaking 4,271,000 viewers watched the National Championship game on ESPN. In addition the NCAA and the Local Organizing Committee (NLOC) announced the local economic impact of the 2014 Women’s Final Four exceeded $20 million.

In addition through the NCAA Community Outreach 101 Program, Coca-Cola NCAA Youth Clinics, Broadway Bounce Refreshed by Coca-Cola, Tourney Town Presented by Capital One, NCAA Girls Junior Journalism Workshop, 4Kay Run Presented by Northwestern Mutual, equipment donations through Wilson Sporting Goods Co. and additional local organizing committee initiatives, more than 15,000 Nashville middle school and elementary age children and their schools were impacted.

The Championship Game saw a matchup of undefeated teams as UConn completed a perfect 40-0 season with a 79-58 victory over rival Notre Dame.

More than 30,000 fans visited and enjoyed all that Nashville had to offer for the Women’s Final Four, with thousands more, young and old, being touched by additional Women’s Final Four events. These included sellout crowds for the national semifinal and championship games, open practices and autograph sessions and a $100,000 research grant from the Kay Yow Cancer Fund to the Vanderbilt-Ingram Cancer Center. Additional outreach included a visit to The Children’s Hospital at TriStar Centennial and Children’s Hospital at Vanderbilt University by the cheerleaders and mascots from the two teams competing in the national championship game: Notre Dame University and the University of Connecticut.

“Nashville should be proud of the passion and the effort it took in hosting the 2014 NCAA Women’s Final Four so successfully,” said Beth DeBauche, commissioner of the Ohio Valley Conference and one of the Nashville Local Organizing Committee co-chairs for the event. “We had such great support from the city and tremendous backing from our citizens, with over 1,000 volunteers giving of their time and talent to make sure the many programs left an undeniable impression on the participants. It was important to

The 2014 Division I Women’s Final Four was held April 6 and 8 at Bridgestone Arena in Nashville in front of sellout crowds. UConn topped Notre Dame in the title game to win its record ninth national championship.

the NCAA and to us that our community felt the positive effects of this event, not only when the games were being played, but for many years following.”

“We are always looking for ways to fully integrate the numerous Women’s Final Four events into the local community and in working with the Nashville Local Organizing Committee we were able to achieve a great deal of success this year,” said Anucha Browne, NCAA vice president, women’s basketball championships. “Our ultimate goal each year around the Women’s Final Four is to leave a lasting legacy in the host community. In Nashville we accomplished this objective with the assistance from many locally who shared our passion.”

The Nashville Local Organizing Committee also announced the awarding of $205,000 in funding to continue local legacy initiatives of the 2014 Women’s Final Four.

In 2013, NLOC created a series of the legacy programs throughout the community that would have a lasting impact long after the games have been played. Programs were created to bring women’s sports into focus; to directly address issues of disparity between men’s and women’s sports coverage, participation, and support; and to empower young females by enabling them to become leaders within their own communities.

“Our local organizing committee pledged to support the legacy of women’s basketball and women’s sports before, during and long after the 2014 Women’s Final Four in Nashville,” said Vice Mayor Diane Neighbors, Chair of the Women’s Final Four Legacy Committee and Co-Chair 2014 Women’s Final Four Board of Directors. “It has been a pleasure to watch the results of our legacy efforts in Middle Tennessee and we are proud to continue to support these programs that will greatly affect young people in our community.”

The programs began in 2013 as part of NLOC’s legacy initiatives and will continue with this new funding and included: Lipscomb University’s Nelson and Sue Andrews Institute for Civic Leadership’s “Music City Girls Lead!” mentorship program, Metropolitan Arts Commission future programs that empower young girls, Champions 4 Women events, Tennessee Sports Hall of Fame, Girl Scouts of Middle Tennessee as well as enhanced media coverage for women’s athletics that sprang forth from the Women’s Final Four.

2016-17 OVC MEN’S NOTES/PREVIEW The Season is Here: The 2016-17 season marks the 69th of competition for the Ohio Valley Conference. Over the previous 68 years, 13 different teams have claimed an OVC regular season championship. Last season Belmont won its third OVC regular season championship since joining the league with a 12-4 league record.

OVC Sets League Record With Six Postseason Teams: Overall the OVC had six teams compete in the postseason in 2015-16 (1 NCAA, 1 NIT, 1 CBI, 2 CIT, 1 Vegas 16) which set a new record for the league. It broke the previous mark of five teams set in 2014-15. OVC teams are 20-15 in national postseason competition over the past three years.

Wins in Eight-Straight Postseasons: After wins by Morehead State and UT Martin in the postseason a year ago, OVC teams have now at least won one game in each postseason for eight-straight years, the longest stretch in league history. Morehead State won a NCAA game in 2009, Murray State won in the NCAA Tournament in 2010, Morehead State won in the NCAA’s in 2011, Murray State won in the NCAA’s in 2012, Eastern Kentucky won in the CIT in 2013, Belmont (NIT) and Murray State (CIT) won games in 2015 and Morehead State (CBI) and UT Martin (CIT) won games a season ago.

Four OVC Teams Reach 20 Victories: In 2015-16 four OVC men’s basketball teams (Belmont, Morehead State, Tennessee State and UT Martin) reached the 20-win plateau on the season, tying the OVC record. A fifth team (Tennessee Tech) came up just short in winning 19 contests a year ago.

OVC to Produce 23-Game National Television Package: The OVC will produce a national television package in 2016-17 that will include 21 men’s basketball games (and two women’s basketball contests) that will air on either the ESPN Family of Networks, the CBS Sports Network or the American Sports Network. The Conference will once again have seven men’s games on the ESPN Family of Networks, including four regular season games as well as the OVC Tournament semifinals and championship game.

The OVC will also have a seven-game package on CBS Sports Network and seven games on the American Sports Network (ASN). The 23-game package ensures that every member institution is on national television at least once this year.

OVC Men’s Hoops in Fifth Year of Divisional Play: For the fifth year the OVC will use divisional play for men’s basketball (the OVC women’s teams are not using divisional play anymore). The addition of Belmont University on July 1, 2012 gave the OVC 12 member institutions, the largest the Conference has been since it was formed in 1948 (the OVC is currently the nation’s eighth-oldest Division I conference). The East Division includes Belmont, Eastern Kentucky, Jacksonville State, Morehead State, Tennessee State and Tennessee Tech. The West Division includes Austin Peay, Eastern Illinois, Murray State, Southeast Missouri State, SIUE and UT Martin.

OVC Tournament Format and Home Enters Year No. 7: 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. On the men’s side 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. Now that divisional play is used, the winner of each division is guaranteed one of the top two seeds while seeds 3-8 will be based on overall conference record regardless of division.

Starting in 2014-15 the OVC women’s teams switched back to using the traditional 1 vs. 8, 2 vs. 7, etc. bracket.

OVC Players in the NBA: OVC players are filling out NBA rosters to begin the 2016-17 season. Five former OVC players have guaranteed or partially-guaranteed contracts to begin the year. Those players included former Morehead State All-American Kenneth Faried (who begins his sixth season with the Denver Nuggets and who is signed through the 2018-19 as part of a four-year, $50 million dollar extension), former Murray State All-American Isaiah Canaan (who begins his fourth season in the league and first with the Chicago Bulls who signed him to a two-year deal), former Tennessee State standout Robert Covington (who begins his fourth season in the league and third with the Philadelphia 76ers), former Belmont All-American Ian Clark (who advanced to the NBA Finals with the Golden State Warriors a season ago and begins his fourth season in the league and second with the Warriors this year) and former Murray State All-American Cameron Payne (who begins his second year in the NBA after being a lottery pick of the Oklahoma City Thunder). Former Tennessee Tech standout Kevin Murphy (who played with the Utah Jazz in 2012-13) signed a preseason camp deal with the Orlando Magic.

OVC Digital Network: The OVC launched the OVC Digital Network (OVCDN) in August 2012. The OVCDN is the exclusive home for live web streamed athletic contests involving OVC schools. Overall 2016-17 marks the 11th year the OVC has streamed live events.

Starting with the re-branding of the streaming in 2012-13, events are offered free of charge and in an HD format and featured improved quality thanks to an investment in new equipment conference-wide. Fans also find it easier to log onto OVCDigitalNetwork. com and access the streams and can do so without any registration. The events are available on any computer, tablet or smart phone as well as the Roku streaming device without needing any special downloads or apps.

Westwood One Sports to Broadcast OVC Championship Game: For the eighth consecutive season, the 2017 Men’s Basketball Championship game will be broadcast by the Westwood One radio network, the largest provider of audio content in America.

Westwood One is the leading multi-platform provider of sports, music, news, spoken word, and digital audio content with a portfolio that features exclusive brands like the NFL, the GRAMMYs, NASH, Rdio, and more. Westwood One, which is part of Cumulus Media, reaches 245 million people each week through 454 owned-and-operated stations in 90 US media markets, more than 8,200 broadcast radio affiliates and numerous digital channels.

OVC Coaches Have Longevity: Two of the 12 OVC men’s coaches are among just a handful who have been at their school for an extended period of time. Entering this season Austin Peay’s Dave Loos and Belmont’s Rick Byrd are two of just six Division I head coaches who have been at the same school for at least 25 years. Loos is beginning his 27th season with the Govs while Byrd starts his 31st year with the Bruins. The other four coaches are Syracuse’s Jim Boeheim (41st season), Duke’s Mike Krzyzewski (37th season), Oakland’s Greg Kampe (33rd season) and Davidson’s Bob McKillop (28th season).

Replay Systems for OVC Basketball Venues Enter Year Six: On December 21, 2007, the Ohio Valley Conference mandated the use of courtside replay systems at all OVC basketball venues. The systems were put into place in January 2008 and have been used since. The systems are used in situations that are outlined by NCAA rules.

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 27th season at APSU, is the current Dean of OVC coaches.

He is one of just six active Division I coaches to be at the same program for at least 25 years. Loos also perviously served as APSU’s athletic director, but stepped down from that role in April 2014.

• Preseason All-OVC pick Josh Robinson returns to anchor the offense without Chris Horton. Robinson, whose move to point guard in late February coincided with Austin Peay’s lateseason surge into the NCAA Tournament, ranks third in the OVC among returning players in scoring (16.9 ppg), fourth in free-throw percentage (83.4 percent) and fifth in made threepointers per game (2.0).

• While everyone remembers the Governors three-point barrage at the OVC Tournament, few remember that the Govs were not nearly as prolific from deep for much of the season—APSU averaged 6.2 three’s per game, eighth in the conference. Extended run for Jared Savage and his conference-tournament record 19 three-pointers will help that number, as will significant contributions from Zach Glotta and John Murry.

TEAM NOTES • Junior guard Cornell Johnston is on pace to become the Panthers career assist leader midway through the 2016-17 season. Johnston needs just 88 assists to break the school record of 415 held by Johnny Hernandez. Johnston had 156 assists as a freshman and increased that production to 171 assists last season.

• Eastern Illinois returns its top three 3-point shooters from last season in guards Cornell Johnston, Casey Teson and Demetrius McReynolds. All three players finished last season in the top 15 in the OVC in 3-pointers made. Johnston and Teson were tied for seventh with 64. McReynolds ranked 13th in the league with 51 3-pointers.

• EIU added its second international player for the 2016-17 season as Muusa Dama will join Aboubacar Diallo as low post international players on the Panthers roster. Both players hail from Africa with Dama from Benin and Diallo from the Ivory Coast.

TEAM NOTES • Last season Morehead State became just the second OVC team to ever play a game in the month of April when the Eagles advanced to the Championship Series of the College Basketball Invitational (CBI). MSU won three games before playing Nevada in the Best-of-Three Championship series where the Eagles won the first game at home before losing two-straight at Nevada. MSU is now 5-4 all-time in three CBI appearances.

• During head coach Sean Woods’ first four years at Morehead State, the Eagles have won 75 games, which is the most for any coach in his first four seasons in school history.

• Morehead State returns two starters from last year’s team, including senior Xavier Moon, a preseason All-OVC selection, who averaged 10.2 points and ranked seventh in the OVC with a 41 percent shooting percentage from the 3-point line. The other returning starter is senior DeJuan Marrero. Junior Miguel Dicent and sophomore Malik Maitland also return after making a combined 20 starts.

TEAM NOTES • Southeast Missouri enters the 2016-17 season with 11 newcomers, including nine new scholarship players. The Redhawks also bring back four from last year’s team in seniors Antonius Cleveland, Joel Angus III, Trey Kellum and Jamaal Calvin.

• Guard Antonius Cleveland was named to the Preseason All-OVC team for the second-straight year. A native of Memphis, Tennessee, Cleveland started 25 games and led the Redhawks in scoring (15.2 ppg), rebounding (6.6 rpg), minutes played (31.4 mpg), steals (42) and blocks (15) last season. He also became the fourth different SEMO player to score over 1,000 career points since 2012-13.

• Matchups with two Big Ten Conference opponents and a trip to Las Vegas highlight Southeast Missouri’s 31-game basketball schedule in 2016-17. The Redhawks, in their second year under head coach Rick Ray, will play 14 games at the Show Me Center. SEMO tips off the season at Illinois on Nov. 11.

TEAM NOTES • UT Martin is coming off its first-ever Ohio Valley Conference West division championship in 2015-16, a season where the Skyhawks also advanced to the OVC Tournament championship game for the first time in program history.

• Over the last two seasons, the Skyhawks have amassed 41 victories – which is tied for the most in a two-year span in program history. UT Martin has posted back-to-back 20-win seasons for the first time since the 1981-82 and 1982-83 campaigns.

• UT Martin’s four postseason victories since 2015 are the second-highest amount of postseason wins in back-to-back years in OVC history. The Skyhawks are the only OVC team to win a postseason game in each of the last two seasons.

• The Skyhawks are tied with Valparaiso, Yale and Stony Brook for the third-most road victories (20) in the nation over the last two seasons. Only Monmouth and Albany (each with 22) have more road wins than UT Martin since the start of the 2014-15 season.

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.

OVC Tournament Tiebreaker System Tiebreaker. The tiebreaker system for seeding the Ohio Valley Conference Basketball Tournament will utilize the following factors, in order, until all ties are broken. In the instance where two or more teams are tied for divisional lead, the divisional leader tiebreaker system shall be utilized. Division leaders will be determined before any other seeding.

Divisional Leader Ties (a) Head to head record will be compared with the team having the best record named as divisional leader; (b) Overall division records will be compared with the team having the best division record named as divisional leader; (c) Overall record against opposite division opponents will be compared with the team having the best opposite division record named as divisional leader; (d) Records against the #3 finisher within the division will be compared with the team having the best record against the #3 finisher named as divisional leader; (e) If step d does not break the tie, the process continues through the #6 team if necessary; (f) In the event that the tie cannot be broken, the divisional leader shall be determined by a coin toss.

NOTE: In the case of steps D and E - if there is a tie between teams finishing 3-6 in the division, those ties should be broken prior to determing divisional leader by using the tiebreaker procedures below only with teams in that division. This is the only instance where ties between lower finishing teams will be broken first and not skipped over. In addition, these ties will only be broken for purposes of determining divisional leaders. Once divisional leaders are determined, these ties will be reinstated and handled according to the tiebreaker procedures below for determining seeds #3-8.

Two-way Ties (other than divisional leader) (a) 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; (b) In the event step 1 does not resolve the tie (i.e., if the two teams split during the regular season), then the records for 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. (c) If the potential No. 1 seed is among the tied teams, the process in step 2 will begin at the highest point in the standings that does not involve a tied team. (d) The process continues through the No. 12 team, if necessary. (e) In the event that the tie cannot be broken, the seedings shall be determined by a coin toss.

Multiple Ties (other than divisional leader) (a) Composite records between tying teams will be evaluated to determine if 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 that 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); (b) In the event this process does not resolve 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. (c) If the potential No. 1 seed is among the tied teams, the process in step 2 will begin at the highest point in the standing that does not involve a tied team. (d) This process continues through No. 12 team, if necessary. (e) In the event this process does not resolve the ties, a coin toss will be the final alternative.

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 is 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.

Let the Season Begin: The 2016-17 regular-season begins on Nov. 11 with Conference play starting Dec.29. Nine different teams have won a regular-season title with Tennessee Tech leading the way with 18.

2015-16 in Review: UT Martin won its fourth OVC regular-season title while Belmont captured its first league tournament title. The second-seeded Bruins defeated No. 4 Eastern Kentucky, 95-63, in the championship game.

OVC Digital Network: This marks the fifth season of the OVC Digital Network. It launched last year and is a new and improved home for lives streaming of athletic contests involving OVC member institutions. One of the top features of the Network is that all events will be offered free for fans. The events will also feature improved quality with most events streaming in high definition (HD). Fans will also have easier access to the streams, easily accessing them through links at OVCDigitalNetwork. com without any registration being required. The streams will be available on any computer, tablet or smart phone without any app or software download thanks to the use of HTML5 technology. The portal also includes live stats and social media integration to give fans even more interaction.

The streaming efforts will concentrate on football and men’s and women’s basketball in the first year, with all home non-conference and conference contests featuring OVC schools in those sports airing on the platform.

There are two new features for 2015-16 that will make viewing better for fans as the stream has incorporated a “DVR” function that will allow any viewer to rewind and/or fast forward to any point of the contest while it is live; previously a fan could only rewind the stream 30 seconds. The other function is an “instant archiving” feature that will allow fans to watch a replay of the contest immediately after the event concludes. Last year the OVC launched a channel for the OVC Digital Network on the Roku Streaming Player, giving viewers an easier option to watch the network directly on their television sets. Roku is a series of digital media player set-top boxes manufactured by Roku, Inc. that provide over-the-top content in the form of channels via a wired or Wi-Fi connection. In 2014, Roku streamed over 3 billion hours of content, up 72% from the prior year, and ended the year with about 7 million monthly active accounts. Roku currently offers a variety of streaming set-top boxes, streaming sticks and a co-branded Roku smart television. Last year nearly 4,000 Roku users subscribed (for free) to the OVC Digital Network channel.

RETURNING STATISTICAL LEADERS OVC Championship In Nashville: For the 23rd time in 24 years, the Ohio Valley Conference invades downtown Nashville to crown its women’s basketball champion. The OVC Basketball Tournament is the league’s showcase event, and the 2015 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. 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, 2016/ The men also held its championship at the venue in 1989 and 1967 (when the tournament was held in December) OVC Games on TV: The Ohio Valley Conference will have a pair of games on TV this season. The first game will be Belmont at UT Martin on Jan. 5 on ESPNU. The Jan. 15 Murray State at SIUE contest will be broadcast on American Sports Network. Additionally, the entire OVC Women’s Basketball Tournament will be available on ESPN3.

Familiar Faces: The Ohio Valley Conference will have a lot of experience returning this year as all but one team will have at least three starters returning this season. Belmont and Murray State will have all five of its starters back while Austin Peay and Morehead State will each have four.

UT Martin is the team that will have less than three starters back with a pair returning.

TEAM NOTES • The Panthers will have only one senior on this year’s team in Erica Brown. Brown is EIU’s top returning starter leading the team with a 10.1 ppg average. Brown also led the team with 7 rebounds per game and is only 113 rebounds away from being the 15th member of EIU’s 600 career rebound club. She finished last season fourth in the OVC for total blocks and blocked shots per game with a 1.54 average.

• Eastern Illinois will look heavily towards returning guard Grace Lennox as a leader this season. Lennox finished the year fourth in the OVC with 4.6 assists per game accumulating 130 assists on the season which was just outside EIU’s top-10 season assists list. A junior this season, Lennox led the Panther offense averaging just over 35 minutes per game on the court.

• EIU will once again have a very young roster this year as nine of their 12 players are sophomores or freshmen. Lennox, Brown, and junior Jalisha Smith are the Panthers only upperclassman on a women’s basketball roster that welcomes four freshmen this year. .

For the 23rd time in 24 years, the Ohio Valley Conference invades downtown Nashville to crown its women’s basketball champion. The OVC Basketball Tournament is the league’s showcase event, and the 2015 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.

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, 2016/ The men also held its championship at the venue in 1989 and 1967 (when the tournament was held in December) Beginning with the 2011 OVC Women’s Basketball Championship the bracket gave the No. 1 and No. 2 seeds double byes to the semifinals and the No. 3 and No. 4 seeds single byes to the quarterfinals. Beginning this season the bracket will return to a traditional 1/8, 2/7, 3/6, 4/5 format. The recommendation to change to this format also came from the women’s basketball coaches group in part to allow for all teams to arrive at the tournament site at the same time and allow for an awards recognition event the day prior to the tournament to celebrate OVC women’s basketball and interact with each other.

The schedule for the 2017 Women’s Basketball Championship will see the No. 1 vs. No. 8 and No. 2 vs. No. 7 seeds playing on Wednesday, with the teams winning those games having an off day on Thursday when the first round games continue with No. 3 vs. No. 6 and No. 4 vs. No. 5 matchups. The semifinals will remain on Friday with the Championship Game still being played on Saturday.

Last year saw No. 2 Belmont defeated No. 4 Eastern Kentucky, 95-63, in the championship game. It marked the Bruins first tourney title.

OVC Tournament Tiebreaker System Tiebreaker. The tiebreaker system for seeding the Ohio Valley Conference Basketball Tournament will utilize the following factors, in order, until all ties are broken.

Two-way Ties (a) 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; (b) In the event step 1 does not resolve the tie (i.e., if the two teams split during the regular season), then the records for 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. (c) If the potential No. 1 seed is among the tied teams, the process in step 2 will begin at the highest point in the standings that does not involve a tied team. (d) The process continues through the No. 12 team, if necessary. (e) In the event that the tie cannot be broken, the seedings shall be determined by a coin toss.

Multiple Ties (a) Composite records between tying teams will be evaluated to determine if 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 that 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); (b) In the event this process does not resolve 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. (c) If the potential No. 1 seed is among the tied teams, the process in step 2 will begin at the highest point in the standing that does not involve a tied team. (d) This process continues through No. 12 team, if necessary. (e) In the event this process does not resolve the ties, a coin toss will be the ďŹ nal alternative.

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 is 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.
