Now in its 66th 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 13 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. She is currently one of just six females to be the head of a Division I conference, and one of just nine to lead a Division I conference all-time. The last three commissioners of the OVC have moved onto jobs as the commissioner of the Big Ten, Big 12 and the Mid-American Conferences. The OVC’s proud history dates back to 1948, but seeds for the new league were actually planted in 1941. It was then that Roy Stewart, the athletics director at Murray State, Charles “Turkey” Hughes, the athletics director at Eastern Kentucky, and Kelly Thompson, the public relations director at Western Kentucky, first broached the idea of forming a new conference. Discussions were put on hold by World War II, but reemerged Feb. 27-28, 1948 at the Kentucky Hotel in Louisville as the three original 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 14thranked 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; that crowd 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 four-straight 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. During the 2010-11 year Faried, the nation’s leading rebounder during the season, became the NCAA’s Modern Era (since 1973) career rebounding leader, totaling 1,673 rebounds which passed Tim Duncan for the record (he is 11th all-time in NCAA history). Faried also finished his career with 86 double-doubles, second all-time to only Duncan. He is one of only six players in NCAA history to finish with 2,000-plus career points (2,009) and 1,600-plus career rebounds. Faried was drafted 22nd overall by the Denver Nuggets in the 2011 NBA Draft, becoming the first OVC player selected in the first round since Tennessee State’s Carlos Rogers 1994. Through its 65 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 23 outright or shared basketball crowns. Other past champions include former member Western Kentucky (19), Morehead State (9), Austin Peay (8), Eastern Kentucky (6), Tennessee Tech (5), former member Middle Tennessee (5), Tennessee State (2), former member East Tennessee State (2), Belmont (1 – winning the 2012-13 title in its first year in the league), 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 2013-14 season with 371 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). 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. 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 (and the third player in the past three years to do so). 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). 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 32 years. Although Tennessee Tech remains the standard-bearer, five other teams have won 13 of the last 20 OVC Tournaments. UT Martin became the latest program to add its name to the list, capturing its first OVC Tournament title in 2011 and also winning championships in 2012 and 2013. The Skyhawks were the first team to three-peat since

Austin Peay won four-straight titles from 2000-03. Austin Peay leads the remaining teams with seven crowns while Tennessee State, Eastern Kentucky, Murray State and Southeast Missouri each have won titles during that span. Several coaches have made their mark in the 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. Many great players have graced the hardwood over the years, including former OVC Players of the Year Brooke Armistead and Gerlonda Hardin from Austin Peay, Pam Chambers, Jerilynn Harper, Cheryl Taylor, Angela Moorehead, Roschelle Vaughn, Diane Seng, Janet Holt and Emily Christian from Tennessee Tech; Morehead State’s Donna Murphy, Priscilla Blackford and Chynna Bozeman; Eastern Kentucky’s Kim Mays; Southeast Missouri’s Gray C. Harris; and Murray State’s Ashley Hayes. Bozeman finished her collegiate career in 2010-11 by winning her second consecutive OVC Player of the Year award. Her 2,170 points ranks her eighth all-time in OVC history, her 377 made career 3-pointers is first in OVC history and sixth in NCAA history and her 1,096 career 3-point attempts ranks first in OVC history and second in NCAA history. 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. The league also had another historical moment in November 2008 when the NCAA awarded Nashville the 2014 NCAA Women’s Division I Final Four. The OVC will serve as the host of the prestigious event, which is one of the biggest sporting events the city of Nashville can host. The event will be held April 6 & 8 at Bridgestone Arena in downtown Nashville. Over its 65 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 Conference-sponsored sport. Since the College Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA) Academic All-America program began, the Ohio Valley Conference has had 215 student-athletes honored with the award, including 36 over the last four years (2009-10, 2010-11, 2011-12, 2012-13). Through the early years of the league, administrators wrestled with fan behavior due to the close proximity of the Conference members and the intense rivalries which developed. Just as it did decades ago, the OVC took the leadership role on what has become a national issue. In 1995, the OVC implemented a first-of-its-kind “Sportsmanship Statement,” a policy which promotes principles of fair play, ethical conduct and respect for one’s opponent. The statement has become a model for others to follow across the nation, and has answered the challenge of the NCAA Presidents Commission to improve sportsmanship in collegiate athletics. Additionally, the OVC annually presents the Steve Hamilton Sportsmanship Award, in honor of the former Morehead State student-athlete, coach and athletics director, to a junior or senior student-athlete with significant athletic contributions who best exemplifies the characteristics of sportsmanship and citizenship. Most recently, the Conference has also implemented the OVC Institutional and Team Sportsmanship Awards, which are presented to one institution and 18 sport-specific teams voted by their peers to have best exhibited the standards of sportsmanship and ethical conduct as outlined by the OVC and NCAA. The vision of leadership demonstrated by the Founding Fathers in 1948 remains alive today as the Ohio Valley Conference prepares for the future. One example is in regard to the current trend in collegiate athletics administration for increased involvement of university presidents in setting policies and making rules. The presidents of OVC institutions, however, have always governed the Conference, long before presidential governance became a national theme. The Ohio Valley Conference sponsors the following sports: baseball, basketball, cross country, football, golf, tennis and track for men, and basketball, cross country, golf, soccer, softball, tennis, track and volleyball for women. In addition, the OVC also sponsors the combined men’s and women’s sport of rifle. Now in its seventh decade of competition, the Ohio Valley Conference has grown significantly from its humble beginnings while increasing the number of athletics opportunities it provides for students. Current league representatives include charter members Eastern Kentucky University, Morehead State University and Murray State University, along with Austin Peay State University, 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 student-athletes, coaches, administrators and teams. In 1998, the OVC
OVC HALL OF FAME
established the Steve Hamilton Sportsmanship Award, presented annually to a male or female junior or senior student-athlete who best exemplifies the characteristics of the former Morehead State student-athlete, coach and administrator. Hamilton is the only individual to have ever played in a NCAA Basketball Championship, a Major League Baseball World Series (New York Yankees) and a National Basketball Association Championship Series (Minnesota Lakers). In 2003-04 the League began awarding the Institutional Sportsmanship Award, given to the OVC member institution selected by its peers to have best exhibited the standards of sportsmanship and ethical conduct as outlined by the OVC and NCAA. In 2005-06 the League expanded the sportsmanship award program by adding the Team Sportsmanship Award. An award is given to each sport sponsored by the OVC and is voted on by the student-athletes and coaches of the respective sports.

OVC TO HOST 2014 NCAA WOMEN’S FINAL FOUR On Nov. 14, 2008 the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) informed representatives from the Ohio Valley Conference and the Nashville Sports Council that the City of Nashville has been awarded the 2014 NCAA Division I Women’s Basketball Final Four. The event will take place at Bridgestone Arena in downtown Nashville on April 6 and 8 this year. In conjunction with the NCAA Division I Women’s Basketball Final Four, Nashville will also host the Women’s Basketball Coaches Association (WBCA) National Convention. The WBCA is the national association of approximately 5,000 basketball coaches representing all levels of the game, including junior high, AAU, high school, college and professional. The process to secure the Division I Women’s Final Four began in January 2008 with an initial meeting of the Music City Bid Committee, co-chaired by Vice-Mayor Diane Neighbors and Margaret Behm. The OVC and Nashville Sports Council submitted an official bid to the NCAA in June 2008 and were announced as one of the eight finalists in August 2008. The NCAA Division I Women’s Basketball Committee and NCAA staff made a two-day visit to Nashville in mid-October 2008 and Nashville’s local bid committee made a final presentation to the NCAA in Indianapolis on Nov. 12, 2008. “This is great news for Nashville”, said Nashville Mayor Karl Dean. “I applaud the Sports Council, the Ohio Valley Conference and the bid committee for all the work they put into making this happen, specifically Vice-Mayor Diane Neighbors and Margaret Behm. This news speaks to what a great destination Nashville is for large events and their participants, and it helps validate the need for a new, much larger convention center downtown. This event is only possible because by 2014 the Music City Center will be open and fully operational. I look forward to Nashville hosting this event and to showing the Women’s Final Four participants all that Music City has to offer.” “This is a great day for Music City,” said Nashville Vice-Mayor and Music City Bid Committee Co-Chair Diane Neighbors. “The Nashville team worked very hard and produced a fantastic proposal. Over the next six years we will be putting together a Final Four that players, coaches, and fans won’t forget. Congratulations Nashville!” “The community wide support we have received throughout the bid process has been phenomenal,” said Music City Bid Committee Co-Chair Margaret Behm. “That broad ranging support coupled with Middle Tennessee’s long tradition of celebrating women’s basketball makes Nashville the perfect host site for the 2014 Women’s Final Four.”

Bridgestone Arena, the home of the NHL’s Nashville Predators, has hosted numerous basketball tournaments, including the 2012 NCAA Division I Men’s Basketball 2nd/3rd Rounds, an event in which the Ohio Valley Conference served as the host.
“This is a phenominal event to celebrate coming to Nashville,” said Ohio Valley Conference Commissioner Beth DeBauche. “The Women’s Basketball Committee having faith in the OVC and Nashville Sports Council to serve as hosts is a tribute to our organizations. It will be a fun ride to exceed their expectations and make 2014 the best Women’s Final Four ever.” “We are pleased that the NCAA has awarded the 2014 Women’s Final Four to Nashville,” said Nashville Sports Council President & CEO Scott Ramsey. “This event is one of the most high profile annual events on the national sports calendar and will bring tremendous national exposure, prestige and economic impact to our community. We look forward to beginning the planning and preparation to host an unforgettable experience for the student-athletes, fans and everyone associated with the Women’s Final Four.” When evaluating prospective host cities, the committee reviewed each city’s competition venue, convention center, hotel community, transportation plans, legacy programs and financial commitment, as well as the community’s and prospective host institution/ conference’s overall commitment to the event. “The women’s basketball committee invested a tremendous amount of time and effort in the Women’s Final Four site selection process,” said Jacki Silar, then chair of the NCAA Division I Women’s Basketball Committee. “It was a very difficult and important decision and it was the committee’s charge to determine which of the cities would best serve as future host sites for the pinnacle of women’s basketball – the Women’s Final Four. The committee appreciated the work and effort of each of the cities that participated in this bid selection process. Committee members evaluated each prospective host city based on many criteria, weighing each element’s importance and what is critical to successfully host a Women’s Final Four.” “The selection of Nashville and the Ohio Valley Conference to host the NCAA Final Four is an example of the quality work this conference does on behalf of the student-athletes that call the OVC home,” said Rob Cross, Murray State University head women’s basketball coach. “As a conference we certainly value the opportunity to host such a tremendous event in the home of our own tournament championship. We look forward to the rest of the nation seeing what we already know...that the people of this area are extremely passionate about basketball. As the excitement builds for the Final Four in Nashville it will certainly help build upon the reputation the OVC enjoys as an exciting basketball league.”

2013-14 OVC MEN’S NOTES/PREVIEW The Season is Here: The 2013-14 season marks the 66th of competition for the Ohio Valley Conference. Over the previous 65 years, 13 different teams have claimed an OVC regular season championship. Last season Belmont won its first OVC Championship in its inaugural season in the league. Recent NCAA Tournament Success: The OVC enters this season having won NCAA Tournament games in four of the past five years. The League had won games in fourstraight years (making them one of just nine conferences to do so from 2009-12) until failing to do so in 2013. The four-year winning streak from 2009-13 was unprecedented in OVC history. After winning NCAA Tournament games in each 1987, 1988 and 1989, the OVC went 20 years without a NCAA victory. That changed in 2009 when Morehead State topped Alabama State 58-43 in front of a record crowd at the Opening Round game in Dayton, Ohio. A year later it was No. 13 seed Murray State who won, topping No. 4 seed Vanderbilt 66-65 when Danero Thomas nailed a buzzer-beater in San Jose. In 2011 it was Morehead State’s turn again, as the Eagles were seeded 13th and sent to Denver to battle No. 4-seed Louisville. MSU got off to a 15-2 lead nearly eight minutes into the game but trailed 61-59 with 31 seconds to play. On its final possession senior Demonte Harper nailed a 3-pointer from the top of the key with 4.3 seconds remaining to give Morehead State the lead and Kenneth Faried blocked Louisville’s last shot attempt to seal the victory. In 2012 it was Murray State, who once again won, knocking off Colorado State 58-41 in the second round in a game played in Louisville. OVC in Second Year of Divisional Play: For the second time this year the OVC will use divisional play for men’s and women’s basketball. 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. Some of the factors in determining the divisions included geography and balance while also being mindful of matchups and rivalries (both current and future). OVC Tournament Format and Home Enters Year No. 4: After debuting a new format and home for the OVC Tournament in 2011, the tournament will once again return to Municipal Auditorium in Nashville this year. Once again the top eight men’s and women’s teams will qualify for the tournament and advance to play in Nashville (as opposed to playing first round games in campus sites) under a merit-based format. The No. 1 and 2 seeds will receive two byes to the semifinals while the No. 3 and 4 seeds will receive one bye into the quarterfinals. The first round will include the No. 5 seed against the No. 8 seed and the No. 6 seed against the No. 7 seed. Now that divisional play is used, the winner of each division is guaranteed one of he top two seeds while seeds 3-8 will be based on overall conference record regardless of division. 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 2013-14 marks the eighth year the OVC has streamed live events. Starting with the re-branding of the streaming in 2012-13, events were 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 without needing any special downloads or apps thanks new streaming technology. Preseason Predictions: Is being picked the preseason favorite always a good thing? Over the past 34 years of preseason polls that were available, the league’s head coaches and sports information directors correctly picked the eventual OVC regular season champion 61.8 percent of the time, picking the correct winner 21 times over the past 34 years. Over the past 13 years, the preseason poll has correctly picked the winner seven times. Last season the poll tabbed the winner of each division correctly, picking Belmont and Murray State prior to the beginning of the season. Year 2000-01 2001-02 2002-03 2003-04 2004-05 2005-06 2006-07

OVC Players in the NBA: OVC players are filling out NBA rosters to begin the 2013-14 season. Four former OVC players have guaranteed or partially-guaranteed contracts to begin the year, the most former OVC players to start a season in a recent memory. Those players included former Morehead State All-American Kenneth Faried (who begins his third season with the Denver Nuggets), former Murray State All-American Isaiah Canaan (who begins his first season in the league after being drafted by the Houston Rockets), former Belmont All-American Ian Clark (who begins his first season with the Utah Jazz after signing a free agent contract) and former Tennessee State standout Robert Covington (who begins his first season with the Houston Rockets after signing a free agent contact). Another former OVC Player of the Year, UT Martin’s Lester Hudson, begins training camp with the Utah Jazz, but does not have a guaranteed contract. Replay Systems for OVC Basketball Venues Enter Year Six: On Dec. 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 23rd season at APSU, is the current Dean of OVC coaches. He is one of just nine Division I coaches to be at the same program for at least 20 years. Loos also perviously served as APSU’s athletic director, but stepped down from that role in April. • A year after having a new state-of-the-art playing surface installed in the Dunn Center, the venue now has a new center-scoreboard that is 21-feet wide and 14.5 feet tall and weighs more than 9,000 pounds. It consists of four LED screens (one on each side); each screen measures 9 feet, 5 inches tall and 16 feet, 2 inches wide. • Last season Chris Horton shattered APSU’s singleseason record for blocked shots by swatting 100 shots during his freshman season. It topped the old mark of 83.

Mat transferred from Southwestern Illinois College. Luke transferred from the University of Richmond. • EIU made the OVC Men’s Basketball Tournament as a number seven seed last season marking the first time since 2010 that EIU had advanced to tournament.

TEAM NOTES • TSU’s team leader will be All-OVC point guard Patrick Miller who will now be the Tigers most experienced player on a young team. The senior point guard is a potential OVC player of the year candidate who returns to the reigns of an offense that will rely on a lot of newcomers to shoulder heavy production losses. Miller averaged 14.8 points, 5.9 assists per game as well as recording a 1.7 assist-to-turnover ratio. The Chicago native’s junior season will go down as one of the best for a point guard at TSU after Miller set the single season assist mark with 195. • Playing in the Gentry Center has been kind to TSU over the past three years as the team is 33-6 at home during that span, but just 16-37 on the road. The Tigers have also won 21 out of their last 24 contests in their arena. TSU was 11-2 at home in 2012-13 which matches the team’s record for home wins in a season while playing in the Gentry Center.

TEAM NOTES • Senior swingman Mike Liabo enters the season ranked No. 7 on the all-time UT Martin scoring list with 1,229 points. He needs 501 points to take over the top spot (approximately 16.2 points per game). • Junior Myles Taylor is also primed to become the program’s 17th member of the 1,000 point club, as he has scored 855 points in his first two seasons in a Skyhawk uniform. Last season, Taylor just missed becoming the first OVC sophomore since 2000 to end the season in the top-five in both scoring in rebounding, as he finished sixth in both categories. • The Skyhawks return 11 players and four starters from last season’s squad. UT Martin returns 86 percent of its scoring from 2012-13, including its top four scorers. • UT Martin will travel approximately 13,000 miles to complete its 31 games this season. The Skyhawks will play in 11 states (Alabama, Arkansas, Colorado, Florida, Illinois, Kentucky, Missouri, Nevada, South Carolina, Tennessee and Wyoming), with the longest trip slated for a game at UNLV on Nov. 30.

For the 20th time in 21 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 2014 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 eight times: 1994, 1995, 1996, 2004, 2008, 2011, 2012 and 2013. The men also held its championship at the venue in 1989. Prior to the tournament being at the end of the season, the 1967 tournament was also held at Municipal Auditorium in December. After first round games were previously played on campus sites, now all eight men’s and all eight women’s teams that qualify for the tournament field gather at a single site for the entire tournament. In 2011 the bracket shifted from a traditional 1 vs. 8, 2 vs. 7, etc. format to a merit-based format that rewards the top teams during the regular season with byes into the quarterfinals and semifinals. The first round of each the men’s and women’s tournament will feature the No. 5 seed against the No. 8 seed and the No. 6 seed against the No. 7 seed. The winners of those games will advance to the quarterfinals to face the No. 3 and No. 4 seeds (who received a bye). The winners of those quarterfinal matchups will advance to the semifinals to face the No. 1 and No. 2 seeds (who received a pair of byes). 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 tournament, while seeds 3-8 will be determined by Conference record, regardless of division. The 2014 Championship marks the 51st 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 4-7, 2015. Last season Belmont won its first OVC Championship by topping Murray State 70-68 in a thrilling overtime contest.

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. Divisonal 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 2013-14 campaign kicks off with a pair of exhibition games on Nov. 1 as Morehead State hosts Kentucky Christian and Tennessee State welcomes Tennessee Temple. The regular-season begins on Nov. 8 with Conference play starting on Dec. 28. New Faces: Three Ohio Valley Conference women’s basketball teams will be under new direction this year as Belmont, Eastern Illinois and Jacksonville State will all welcome new coaches this season. Cameron Newbauer comes to Belmont after spending last season as an assistant at Louisville. While at Louisville, Newbauer helped lead the Cardinals to the National Championship game. Debbie Black takes over the reigns at Eastern Illinois after eight seasons as an assistant at Ohio State. She was part of a Buckeye program that won six Big Ten championships and made seven trips to the NCAA Tournament. Black is also a former WNBA All-Star. Rick Pietri comes to Jacksonville State after a 13-year stint at South Alabama. He led the Lady Jaguars to back-toback Sun Belt championships in 2003 and 2004. 2012-13 in Review: Last season saw 12 teams competing in women’s basketball for the first time resulting in divisional play. The 12 teams were broken into two divisions (West: Austin Peay, Eastern Illinois, Murray State, Southeast Missouri, SIUE and UT Martin. East: Belmont, Eastern Kentucky, Jacksonville State, Tennessee State and Tennessee Tech). Tennessee Tech was picked to win the East while UT Martin was selected to win the West. The coaches’ and sport information directors’ prediction held true for Tech but it was Eastern Illinois who won the West. The Panthers and Golden Eagles shared the regular-season title. It marked the second title for EIU while it was the 18th for Tech. Eastern Illinois claimed the No. 1 seed in the OVC Tourney while Tennessee Tech earned the No. 2 seed. The Panthers and Golden Eagles both earned double-byes to the semifinals. Also earning tournament berths were Belmont, UT Martin, Eastern Kentucky, SIUE, Tennessee State and Murray State. Belmont and UT Martin each made it to the semifinals where the Bruins fell to Tennessee Tech and the Skyhawks defeated top-seeded Eastern Illinois. Tennessee Tech and UT Martin met for the third straight year in the championship game with Skyhawks defeating the Golden Eagles to win its third consecutive tournament title. UT Martin also earned the league’s automatic bid to the NCAA tournament. Along with UTM, Eastern Illinois, Eastern Kentucky and Belmont also earned postseason spots. EIU was the leagues automatic bid to the WNIT while Eastern Kentucky and Belmont played in the WBI. UT Martin fell to Notre Dame in the first round of the NCAA tourney while Eastern Illinois defeated Missouri to advance to the second round of the WNIT. The Panthers would fall to Illinois to end its postseason run. Eastern Kentucky and Belmont both lost in the first round of the WBI. It marked the second year the OVC had four women’s basketball teams in the postseason. OVC Hosting the 2014 Women’s Final Four: The OVC and the Nashville Sports Council will host the 2014 NCAA Division I Women’s Basketball Final Four which will take place on April 6 and 8. The event will be held at the Bridgestone Arena. In conjunction with the Final Four, Nashville will also host the Women’s Basketball Coaches Association (WBCA) National Convention. The WBCA is the national association of approximately 5,000 basketball coaches representing all levels of the game, including junior high, AAU, high school, college and professional. UT Martin to Play in the Preseason WNIT: UT Martin will participate in the Preseason Women’s National Invitational Tournament. The Skyhawks will host Georgia State on Nov. 8 for first round action. The Preseason WNIT
features a three-game guarantee format. The event opens Nov. 8 with firstround games. Second-round games will be played Nov. 10 and 11 and sites will be announced following the first-round results; semifinals will be Nov. 14; and the championship is set for Sunday, Nov. 17. Teams that lose in the first two rounds will play consolation games on the second weekend, Nov. 15-16. All games are hosted by participating schools. Ten of the 16 teams in the preseason WNIT are coming off of NCAA Tournament appearances. The field features Georgia State, Gonzaga, Idaho, IPFW, Louisville, Loyola Chicago, LSU, Mount St. Mary’s, North Carolina A&T, Oklahoma, Quinnipiac, Saint Joseph’s, Stephen F. Austin, Stetson, UT Martin and Wichita State. OVC Digital Newtork: This marks the second 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).

For the 20th time in 21 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 2014 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 seven times: 1994, 1995, 1996, 2004, 2008, 2011, 2012 and 2013. The men also held its championship at the venue in 1989. After first round games were previously played on campus sites, now all eight men’s and all eight women’s teams that qualify for the tournament field gather at a single site for the entire tournament. In 2011 the bracket shifted from a traditional 1 vs. 8, 2 vs. 7, etc. format to a merit-based format that rewards the top teams during the regular season with byes into the quarterfinals and semifinals. The first round of each the men’s and women’s tournament will feature the No. 5 seed against the No. 8 seed and the No. 6 seed against the No. 7 seed. The winners of those games will advance to the quarterfinals to face the No. 3 and No. 4 seeds (who received a bye). The winners of those quarterfinal matchups will advance to the semifinals to face the No. 1 and No. 2 seeds (who received a pair of byes). Last year saw fourth-seeded UT Martin earn its third straight OVC Tournament defeating No. 2 Tennessee Tech, 87-80, in overtime in the championship game.

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. Divisonal 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.
