2020-21 Ohio Valley Conference Basketball Media Guide • 3

Now in its 73rd 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 2012-13 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 20 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 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.

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. 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 2009 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 Tourna-

ment (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 2017-18 OVC men’s basketball teams have at least one national postseason tournament victory in nine-straight postseasons, an all-time league record.

For just the second time in league history (the other being 1987), the OVC placed two teams in the NCAA Tournament in 2019, as Murray State won the OVC Tournament crown for the second-straight season and Belmont earned an at-large bid after going 26-5 overall (16-2 OVC) with a NET ranking of 47. As a No. 11 seed, Belmont would top Temple in the Opening Round in Dayton (its first-ever NCAA Tournament victory) before narrowly falling to Maryland in the next round, while No. 12 seed Murray State crushed Marquette 83-64 in the first round (the second-biggest margin of victory ever by a 12 seed over a No. 5 seed in tournament history) before losing to Florida State. It marked the first time since 1971 that the OVC had two wins in the same NCAA Tournament and marked the first time two different OVC teams won a tournament game in the same year.

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-rebound 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 an NBA record 73 regular season games but lost in Game 7 of the Finals. A year later, Clark was part of the Warriors team that topped Cleveland to win the 2017 NBA Championship, becoming the first OVC player to win the crown since 1970-71 (Murray State’s Dick Cunningham and Western Kentucky’s Greg Smith with the Milwaukee Bucks).

Belmont’s Evan Bradds finished his career in 2016-17 with a 66.7 career field goal percentage, tops in OVC history and fourth all-time in Division I history. Bradds capped his career with back-to-back OVC Player of the Year awards in addition to being named 2016-17 OVC Co-Male Athlete of the Year.

Murray State guard Ja Morant put together arguably the greatest season in League history in 2018-19, earning first-team consensus All-American honors (only the third player in OVC history to achieve that feat joining WKU’s Clem Haskins in 1967 and WKU’s Jim McDaniel in 1971) while becoming the first player since the NCAA began officially tracking assists (1983-84) to average 20-plus points (24.5) and 10-plus assists (10.0) in the same season. Morant, who won the Bob Cousy Award as the nation’s top point guard, finished the year with 331 assists, the sixth-most in NCAA single-season history. During the year he had three triple-doubles (including just the ninth in NCAA Tournament history) and became the first Division I player in 20 years to record 40 points, 11 assists and five steals in a regulation game.

Morant was picked No. 2 overall by the Memphis Grizzlies in the 2019 NBA Draft, equaling the highest-ever draft pick in OVC history (tied with Eastern Kentucky’s Jim Baechtold who went No. 2 in 1952). Overall he was just the third NBA Lottery Pick (which began in 1985) in OVC history. Belmont senior Dylan Windler was selected by the Cleveland Cavaliers No. 26 overall in the 2019 NBA Draft, giving the OVC two First Round picks in the same draft for only the second time in history (Western Kentucky’s Tom Marshall and Jack Turner were selected with the seventh and eighth picks of the First Round in 1954). Overall Morant and Windler were the 10th and 11th players in OVC history to be First Round NBA Draft Picks.

Through its 72 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 27 outright or shared basketball crowns.

Other past champions include former member Western Kentucky (19), Morehead State (9), Austin Peay (8), Tennessee Tech (7), Eastern Kentucky (6), Belmont (6), former member Middle Tennessee (5), 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 AllOVC 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. Following the 2016-17 season, Austin Peay’s Dave Loos retired as the winningest coach in OVC history (he passed Luther for that crown in 2009-10). Loos, a five-time OVC Coach of the Year, finished his career with 420 wins in 27 years at Austin Peay (including a 258-194 OVC record) and 502 total wins in 31 years as a head coach. Loos was inducted into the OVC Hall of Fame in 2018. Belmont’s Rick Byrd retired following the 2018-19 season with 805 career victories in 38 seasons (33 with the Bruins). In seven seasons in the OVC Byrd compiled a 168-62 record (97-19 in conference play) and won five OVC regular season crowns, two

tournament titles and four OVC Coach of the Year awards (second all-time only to Loos).

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).

Tennessee Tech has won or shared 18 regular-season women’s basketball championships in addition to nine OVC Tournament crowns; both are tops in OVC history. UT Martin added its name to the list of championship by 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, while Belmont joined that club after winning its fourth-straight title in 2019 (2016-19).

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. Inman once again retired following the 2016-17 season, with 545 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; Murray State’s Ashley Hayes; UT Martin’s Heather Butler and Jasmine Newsome; and Belmont’s Darby Maggard.

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.

In 2017-18, Belmont completed its second-straight undefeated league season, increasing its winning streak in Conference games (both regular season and tournament) to 46 games. The Bruins were ranked in both the USA Today Coaches Poll and Associated Press Poll during the year, becoming

the first OVC team to be nationally-ranked since 1992-93. The Bruins finished the year ranked No. 23 in the AP poll.

Belmont guard Darby Maggard capped her career in 2018-19 by earning her fourth-straight first-team All-OVC honor in addition to earning her fourth-straight OVC All-Tournament honors. She became the first player in NCAA history to make at least 400 3-pointers and dish out at least 650 assists in a career while her 92.4 percent career free throw percentage ranks first in NCAA history, her 2.77 assist-to-turnover ratio is third and her 430 made 3-pointers is fourth. She was one of just 19 players in OVC history to reach 2,000 career points (2,031) and she finished her career third in OVC history for assists (683). After the season Maggard finished as the national runner-up at the College 3-Point Championship.

Over its 72 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 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 Conferencesponsored sport. Since the College Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA) Academic AllAmerica program began, the Ohio Valley Conference has had 296 student-athletes honored with the award (including 51 over the past five years).

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, volleyball and beach 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 expectationas 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.

She was also a liaison to governance representatives, external constituent groups and NCAA staff regarding legislative and governance activities.

After seven years with the NCAA, she made her way back to the South and took the commissioner position for the OVC in 2009.

The conference has seen several changes under DeBauche’s leadership, including expanding the conference to 12 member institutions, the implementation of a revised governance structure to enhance efficiencies and collaboration and the launch of a branding initiative and the league’s first tagline: “Inspiring Excellence Since 1948.” She also negotiated the largest national media contract in league history and played a key role in upgrading the OVC Digital Network to HD video and expanding viewership.

During DeBauche’s time with the OVC, student-athletes have achieved high levels of success, not only on the field, but also in the classroom. The league has consistently seen a record number of honorees on the OVC Medal of Honor and OVC Commissioner’s Honor Roll. In order to help students succeed, DeBauche sponsors comprehensive leadership programming for OVC student-athletes and coaches through on-campus summits.

DeBauche serves on the NCAA Committee on Academics, the National Letter of Intent (NLI) Appeals Committee and is President of the Collegiate Commissioner’s Association (CCA). She has served on the Committee on Institutional Performance, the Division I Strategic Vision and Planning Committee and the Division I Management Council. She served as the FCS representative to the “Coalition To Protect the Student-Athlete Experience” communications steering committee and serves as the FCS liaison to the FCS AD’s Association.

She is a board member with the Nashville Sports Council, the Nashville YWCA and the Community Foundation of Middle Tennessee, the International Women’s Forum of Tennessee, and a graduate of Leadership Nashville. She is also in the 2019-20 Class of Leadership Tennessee.

It also marks the first time since the 2011-12 season that the Governors have been picked first in the preseason poll, and first time since 2014-15 that the Racers have been tabbed the favorites. Dating back to 1979-80 (the first year preseason polls were available), Murray State (18) and Austin Peay (7) have been tabbed the favorites more than any other OVC team.

Austin Peay picked up nine first-place votes while Murray State garnered 10 top nods as each finished with 226 points. Belmont received the other five first-place votes and 214 points in being tabbed third.

Eastern Kentucky was picked fourth (173) and followed by Eastern Illinois (153), Tennessee State (139), Jacksonville State (124), Morehead State (87), Tennessee Tech (84), UT Martin (80), SIUE (48) and Southeast Missouri (30).

Preseason Player of the Year Terry Taylor, Austin Peay The 2020-21 OVC Preseason Men’s Basketball Team is headlined by Austin Peay senior Terry Taylor who was named OVC Preseason Player of the Year for the second-straight season. Taylor is the just the fifth player to be named OVC Preseason Player of the Year twice, joining Murray State’s Marcus Brown (1994-95 & 1995-96) and Isaac Spencer (1999-00 & 2000-01), Eastern Illinois’ Henry Domercant (2001-02 & 2002-03) and Morehead State’s Kenneth Faried (2009-10 & 2010-11) Overall, eight different schools were represented on the team with Austin Peay, Belmont, Eastern Illinois, Eastern Kentucky and Murray State leading the way with two picks apiece. Tennessee State, Tennessee Tech and UT Martin each had one selection. The squad features three seniors, nine juniors and a sophomore. All 13 selections were named to the All-OVC Team last season, eight being first-team picks and five being second-team selections.

Taylor has earned first-team All-OVC honors in each of his first three season. If he earns the award this season, he will be only the third player in OVC history to earn four first-team All-OVC accolades (joining Eastern Kentucky’s Nick Mayo and Western Kentucky’s Ralph Crosthwaite). Last season Taylor was the only Division I player to rank in the Top 15 nationally in both scoring (13th at 21.8 points/game) and rebounding (10th at 11.0 per game). Taylor is on pace to become just the fifth player in OVC history with 2,000 career points and 1,000 career rebounds.

Other returning first-team All-OVC selections from 2019-20 include Austin Peay sophomore guard Jordyn Adams (17.4 points, 3.2 rebounds/game, 60 made 3-pointers), Murray State junior guard Tevin Brown (17.9 points and 3.7 assists/game, 85 made 3-pointers) and junior forward KJ Williams (12.7 points, 7.3 rebounds/game, 54.4 FG%), Belmont junior guard Grayson Murphy (9.8 points, 7.4 rebounds, 6.2 assists and 2.6 steals/game) and junior center Nick Muszynski (15.3 points, 6.4 rebounds and 1.6 blocks game, 59.6 FG%), Eastern Kentucky junior guard Jomaru Brown (18.4 points and 2.7 assists/game, 45 made 3-pointers) and Eastern Illinois senior guard Josiah Wallace (15.6 points and 4.4 rebounds/game, 46.2 FG%).

Returning second-team All-OVC picks included Tennessee State junior guard Carlos Marshall Jr. (11.8 points and 4.4 rebounds/game, 51 made 3-pointers), UT Martin junior guard Parker Stewart (19.2 points and 4.6 rebounds/game, 71 made 3-pointers), Tennessee Tech junior guard Jr. Clay (13.4 points, 3.9 assists, 3.6 rebounds and 1.8 steals/ game), Eastern Kentucky junior forward Tre King (11.3 points and 5.1 rebounds/game, 51.6 FG%) and Eastern Illinois senior guard Mack Smith (13.4 points and 3.1 rebounds/game, 79 made 3-pointers).

18 • 2020-21 Ohio Valley Conference Basketball Media Guide

2020-21 OVC MEN’S NOTES/PREVIEW The Season is Here: The 2020-21 season marks the 73rd of competition for the Ohio Valley Conference. Over the previous 72 years, 13 different teams have claimed an OVC regular season championship. Last season Belmont and Murray State (15-3) shared the regular season crown for the second-straight year, the sixth title for Belmont and record 27th crown for Murray State. Belmont topped Murray State in the OVC Tournament Championship game.

Schedule Adjustments: In order to help address issues associated with the delayed start date and to be responsive to a desire to provide additional contests within the geographic region, the schedules increased from 18 to 20 conference games for the 2020-21 season. Overall teams will play every OVC team once and nine schools twice. In order to give teams flexibility to complete their non-conference schedules, schools were given discretion to schedule their two games with their “travel partner” separate from the remainder of the conference schedule. One of those two games must be scheduled before the holiday break and the other can be scheduled any time during the basketball season.

Wins in 11-Straight Postseasons: After NCAA Tournament wins by Belmont and Murray State in 2019, OVC teams have now at least won one game in each postseason for 11-straight postseasons (there was no postseason in 2020-21, 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, Morehead State (CBI) and UT Martin (CIT) won games in 2016, Belmont (NIT) and UT Martin (CIT) won games in 2017, Austin Peay (CIT) and Jacksonville State (CBI) won games in 2018 and Belmont and Murray State won NCAA games in 2019.

OVCSports.com/ESPN. OVC Tournament Championship Format Enters Year No. 11: Despite a move away from divisional play four years ago, the OVC Men’s Basketball Championship still has a merit-based format. Once again the top eight men’s and women’s teams will qualify for the tournament. 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. Starting in 2014-15 the OVC women’s teams switched back to using the traditional 1 vs. 8, 2 vs. 7, etc. bracket, but will return to the merit-based bracket this year.

OVC Basketball Championships Set For Ford Center in Evansville For Fourth Consecutive Year; Signs Extension Through 2023: The OVC Men’s and Women’s Basketball Championships will be held March 3-6 at the Ford Center in Evansville, Indiana. It marks the fourth-straight season the event will be held in the building after a long run in Nashville. The Ford Center, which opened in 2011,

is an 11,000-seat arena located in the core of Evansville’s downtown district.

The 290,000-square foot facility serves as home of the University of Evansville’s men’s basketball team and the Evansville Thunderbolts of the Southern Professional Hockey League. The Ford Center also serves as host to numerous sporting events and concerts on an annual basis. In September 2019, the OVC signed a three-year extension to keep the event at the venue through 2023, with an option for a fourth-year (2024).

OVC Players in the NBA: Last year six former OVC players played for NBA teams, with four of those players advancing to the NBA Bubble in Orlando. Included in that was Murray State All-American Ja Morant, the No. 2 pick in the 2019 NBA Draft.

TEAM NOTES • In an offseason unprecedented around the country, a constant was Terry Taylor and Jordyn Adams being in the news for being dynamic basketball players. The duo each earned National Association of Basketball Coaches FirstTeam All-District honors–the third of Taylor’s illustrious career–while Adams was named a Kyle Macy Freshman All-American via CollegeInsider.com and Taylor earned Lou Henson All-American honors. The coda to the postseason hype machine was Taylor’s appearance on the United States Basketball Writers Association All-District team, the first Gov to earn that honor.

• The basketball program will have a new home beginning in 2022, when the Multi-Purpose Event Center (MPEC) opens in downtown Clarksville, moving Austin Peay basketball off campus on a regular basis for the first time in almost 70 years. At just shy of 280,000 square feet, the facility will house offices for the men and women’s basketball coaching staffs, a practice arena for the exclusive use of the Austin Peay basketball programs and offer luxury suite accommodations with dedicated catering, a club level on par with the one at Fortera Stadium and enhanced concession offerings.

• On February 20 of last season EIU overcame a 27-point second half deficit to beat Murray State. The Panthers were just the seventh Division I program to overcome that large of a second half deficit to win.

• In addition to his on-court honors, Josiah Wallace was one of just six OVC players named to the NABC Honors Court for his excellence in the classroom a year ago.

Head Coach Ray Harper

Alma Mater: .............................. Kentucky Wesleyan, 1985 Hometown: ..................................................... Breman, Ky. Family: .......................................................Wife - Shannon Career Record: ........................................511-183 (21 yrs.)

School Record: ............................................ 80-56 (4 yrs.)

OVC Record: ............................................................ 43-27 OVC Tournament Appearances: .....................................4 NCAA Tournament Appearances: ..................................3

TEAM NOTES • Head coach Ray Harper owns 80 wins in four seasons at the helm in Jacksonville. He ranks third in JSU history for Division I wins behind James Green (eight seasons, 89 wins) and Mike LaPlante (eight seasons, 95 wins).

Harper is the fastest coach to reach the 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70 and 80-win plateaus in Jacksonville State’s Division I history.

• With 11 newcomers on this year’s roster, it is the largest incoming group for a Ray Harper-led Gamecock team.

Jacksonville State has not seen 11 newcomers since welcoming 11 new Gamecocks in 2011-12. Alternatively, with just four returning letter winners, it features the smallest class of returners for a Harper JSU team. It’s the smallest class of returning letter winners since four returned in 2015-16 from the 2014-15 team.

• Head coach Matt McMahon reached his third-straight 20-win season last year, making him just the third MSU coach to ever achieve that mark; McMahon is 110-51 in his five years as the head of the Racers program.

• Murray State alum Ja Morant was named the 2019-20 NBA Rookie of the Year after his performance with the Memphis Grizzlies. He is the first OVC player to win that honor and only the third non-Power 5 player to take home the award in the past 37 years.

For the fourth-straight year the Ohio Valley Conference Men’s and Women’s Basketball Championships will be held at the Ford Center in Evansville, Indiana.

The event will be held at the venue through at least 2023 (an agreement signed in September 2019 also includes an option year for 2024).

The 2019 Championships saw record-breaking attendance at the venue, as the men’s semifinals drew an OVC neutral site record 8,294 fans (Murray State vs.

Jacksonville State & Belmont vs. Austin Peay), a mark that was broken the next night with an attendance of 10,525 (Murray State vs. Belmont). It marked the largest crowd to witness a basketball game at the Ford Center.

The Ford Center, which opened in 2011, is a 11,000-seat arena located in the core of Evansville’s downtown district. The 290,000-square foot facility serves as home of the University of Evansville’s men’s basketball team as well as the Evansville Thunderbolts of the Southern Professional Hockey League. The Ford Center also serves as host to numerous sporting events and concerts on an annual basis.

For the 11th year in a row 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 (instead of first round games being played on campus sites).

In 2011 the bracket shifted from a traditional 1 vs. 8, 2 vs. 7, etc. format to a meritbased 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).

The women’s tournament changed formats in 2015, doing away with the meritbased format and moving to a traditional 1 vs. 8, 2 vs. 7, etc. bracket. After six years, the women’s format switched back to the merit-based format for the 2021 tournament.

The 2021 Championship marks the 58th 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 March 2-5, 2022, March 1-4, 2023 and March 6-9, 2024.

Last season Belmont topped Murray State in the final seconds to win its third OVC Tournament Championship and first since 2015.

Demonte Harper drained this 3-pointer to lift No. 13 seed Morehead State to a 62-61 victory over Louisville in the second round of the 2011 NCAA Tournament in Denver, Colo. With the Eagles trailing by two points, Harper pulled up at the top of the key and nailed the shot with 4.2 seconds left to put his team ahead for good (MSU would block a UofL attempt at the buzzer to preserve the victory, its first over the Cards since the 1956-57 season.

The NCAA Division I Men’s Basketball Committee announced on November 16 the relocation of 13 predetermined preliminary round sites for the 2021 Division I Men’s Basketball Championship.

In recent weeks, the Division I Men’s Basketball Committee has engaged in a thorough contingency planning process to determine the most effective way to conduct a safe and healthy March Madness for all participants for the 2021 championship. Through these discussions, it became apparent to the committee that conducting the championship at 13 preliminary round sites spread throughout the country would be very difficult to execute in the current pandemic environment. The committee has decided the championship should be held in a single geographic area to enhance the safety and wellbeing of the event.

As a result, NCAA staff are in preliminary talks with the State of Indiana and the city of Indianapolis to potentially host the 68-team tournament around the metropolitan area during the coordinated dates in March and April. Indianapolis was already slated to host the Men’s Final Four from April 3-5, 2021.

“My committee colleagues and I did not come lightly to the difficult decision to relocate the preliminary rounds of the 2021 tournament, as we understand the disappointment 13 communities will feel to miss out on being part of March Madness next year,” said Mitch Barnhart, chair of the Division I Men’s Basketball Committee and University of Kentucky athletics director. “With the University of Kentucky slated to host first- and second-round games in March, this is something that directly impacts our school and community, so we certainly share in their regret. The committee and staff deeply appreciate the efforts of all the host institutions and conferences, and we look forward to bringing the tournament back to the impacted sites in future years.”

The committee emphasized the importance of conducting the championship in a manageable geographic area that limits travel and provides a safe and controlled environment with competition and practice venues, medical resources and lodging for teams and officials all within proximity of one another.

“We have learned so much from monitoring other successful sporting events in the last several months, and it became clear it’s not feasible to manage this complex championship in so many different states with the challenges presented by the pandemic,” said Dan Gavitt, NCAA Senior Vice President of Basketball. “However, we are developing a solid plan to present a safe, responsible and fantastic March Madness tournament unlike any other we’ve experienced.”

“The committee and staff have thoughtfully monitored the pandemic to develop potential contingency plans,” said Mark Emmert, NCAA President. “The Board of Governors and my top priorities are to protect the health and well-being of college athletes while also maintaining their opportunity to compete at the highest level. These principles have guided the decision-making process as we continue to assess how to have a fair and safe championship experience.”

CBS Sports and Turner Sports will continue to distribute all 67 games of the tournament across TBS, CBS, TNT and truTV and their digital platforms.

The 2021 Ohio Valley Conference Women’s Basketball Championship will be held at the Ford Center in Evansville, Ind. for the fourth time.

It marks just the fourth time since the women’s tournament moved to a neutral site that it will be held outside the city of Nashville. In 2002, the tourney was held in Louisville.

The Ford Center, which opened in 2011, is a 11,000-seat arena located in the core of Evansville’s downtown district. The 290,000-square foot facility serves as home of the University of Evansville’s men’s basketball team as well as the Evansville Thunderbolts of the Southern Professional Hockey League. The Ford Center also serves as host to numerous sporting events and concerts on an annual basis.

Last year saw No. 3 Southeast Missouri defeat No. 1 UT Martin, 6747, in the championship game.
