Now in its 67th 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 14 years. The 2009-10 school year saw a change in leadership as Beth DeBauche was named the seventh full-time Commissioner in league history on July 28, 2009. The last three commissioners of the OVC have moved onto jobs as the commissioner of the Big Ten, Big 12 and the Mid-American Conferences. The OVC’s proud history dates back to 1948, but seeds for the new league were actually planted in 1941. It was then that Roy Stewart, the athletics director at Murray State, Charles “Turkey” Hughes, the athletics director at Eastern Kentucky, and Kelly Thompson, the public relations director at Western Kentucky, first broached the idea of forming a new conference. Discussions were put on hold by World War II, but reemerged Feb. 27-28, 1948 at the Kentucky Hotel in Louisville as the three original 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; 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 66 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 (2 – including winning the titles in each of its first two years 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 2014-15 season with 383 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 14 of the last 21 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, 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. 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; Murray State’s Ashley Hayes; and UT Martin’s Heather Butler and Jasmine Newsome. Morehead State center Brittany Pittman set new school, league and NCAA standards for blocked shots in 2008-09. Pittman swatted 164 shots during the season, setting a new NCAA single-season record (which has since been broken). During the campaign, only her second with the Eagles, she also set career block records for both Morehead State and the OVC (287). In 2012-13 the UT Martin duo of Jasmine Newsome and Heather Butler finished fifth and sixth nationally among NCAA scoring leaders. Newsome, the 2012 and 2013 OVC Player of the Year, averaged 22.6 points per game on the way to All-American honors while Butler averaged 22.4 points per contest. Butler set a NCAA record during the season by connecting on a 3-pointer in her 80th-straight game. In 2013-14 Butler and Newsome capped their brilliant careers by ranking first and second in scoring in OVC history. Butler, the 2013-14 OVC Female Athlete of the Year, finished her career with 2,865 points, which ranked first in OVC and 16th in NCAA history. She also finished her career with 392 career 3-pointers (tied for the most in NCAA history) and scored in double figures in all 129 career games which ranks fifth in NCAA history. Following the season Butler was signed by the WNBA’s San Antonio Stars where she became the first OVC player to make an active WNBA roster. Newsome capped her career with 2,566 points, second only to Butler in OVC history. The league also had another historical moment in November 2008 when the NCAA awarded Nashville the 2014 NCAA Women’s Division I Final Four. The OVC served as the host of the prestigious event, which is one of the biggest sporting events the city of Nashville can host. The event was held April 6 & 8 at Bridgestone Arena in downtown Nashville and was played in front of soldout crowds for both the semifinals and championship as UConn topped Notre Dame in a battle of undefeated teams to win its ninth national title. Over its 66 years, OVC teams have garnered national championships and bowl games in football, along with national team or individual titles in the sports of rifle, cross country, track and golf. The OVC has also produced several Olympic athletes, including Murray State’s Morgan Hicks, who was a member of the 2004 United States Olympic Rifle Team and Morehead State’s Brian Shimer who competed in five Winter Olympics in bobsled (winning a bronze medal in 2002) and coached the 2010 United States bobsled team to its first gold medal since 1948. Former Morehead State football and Eastern Kentucky track and field athlete Dallas Robinson competed with the U.S. bobsled team during the 2014 Sochi Winter Olympics. In addition, some of the greatest players in professional sports were educated at OVC institutions. The list includes former greats such as football’s Phil Simms (Morehead State), basketball’s Clem Haskins (Western Kentucky) and Bubba Wells (Austin Peay) and two-sport star Steve Hamilton (Morehead State) to present-day standouts like basketball player Kenneth Faried (Morehead State), football player Tony Romo (Eastern Illinois) and baseball players A.J. Ellis (Austin Peay) and Shawn Kelley (Austin Peay). Hamilton is the only
athlete to ever play in the NCAA Basketball Championship, a Major League Baseball World Series (New York Yankees) and a NBA Championship Series (Los Angeles Lakers). The playing field is not the only place where OVC athletes are working hard. The league also recognizes excellence in the classroom. Six Scholar-Athlete Awards are presented yearly to male and female athletes, while others are commended for their academic success by being Medal of Honor recipients or earning a spot on the Commissioner’s Honor Roll. Additionally, the league annually presents one institutional Academic Achievement Award, as well as separate team awards in each Conference-sponsored sport. Since the College Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA) Academic All-America program began, the Ohio Valley Conference has had 229 studentathletes honored with the award, including 50 over the last five years (2009-10, 2010-11, 2011-12, 2012-13, 2013-14). 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 sportspecific 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. In addition Columbus State University serves as an affiliate member for the sport of rifle.

OVC HONORS AND AWARDS The Ohio Valley Conference implemented a first-of-its-kind “Sportsmanship Statement,” a policy promoting fair play, ethical conduct and respect for one’s opponent in 1995. The statement answered a challenge of the NCAA Presidents Commission to improve sportsmanship in college athletics, and has become a model for others to follow across the nation. The development of the OVC sportsmanship statement began in June 1993 at the direction of the league’s presidents. A committee made up of athletics directors and faculty representatives drafted the initial statement, and all coaches and other administrators had the opportunity for input. The statement sets forth expectations for spirit groups, officials and fans, as well as the student-athletes and coaches. Here is a brief synopsis of each group’s expectations within the sportsmanship statement. Administrators: Institutional administrators will create an environment of hospitality for visiting teams, particularly for those individuals at Conference institutions. Administrators will treat the visiting teams and its fans in the same manner that they would want their teams to be treated. Coaches: Coaches have the greatest amount of influence over whether young people in their programs are taught and follow the high principles of sportsmanship. The OVC has been benefited by coaches who have risked losing a contest by removing student-athletes who have demonstrated disrespect for their opponents. This discipline measure educates that individual about the importance of sportsmanship over participation and winning, and helps counteract the constant messages received from many professional athletes who demonstrate a lack of respect for opponents. Student-Athletes: Student-athletes at OVC institutions will be expected to treat opponents with sportsmanship, and there will be no tolerance for taunting and baiting of opponents. OVC student-athletes must understand that they are perhaps the most visible representatives of their institutions and their behavior is observed and emulated by many who are younger. OVC student-athletes must honor the responsibilities that accompany the privilege of representing our schools by behaving with dignity and class on and off the field. Spirit Groups: Like our student-athletes, spirit groups are visible representatives of our universities, and they are expected to show decent behavior. Cheerleaders, bands and other spirit groups are admitted to contests to support their teams and assist in creating a fun atmosphere, but they will not be allowed to disrupt or confront opposing teams. Officials: Officials will enforce the rules regarding sportsmanship without tolerance for abuse. Players and coaches will receive their only warning prior to the contest, and once the contest begins, penalties will be assessed for violations of unsportsmanlike conduct. Fans: We know all fans are embarrassed by the inappropriate behavior of a few who may engage in confrontational and threatening actions towards officials, visiting fans, players or coaches. Those individuals may be dismissed to provide a better environment for others. The Conference believes that the effort to meet the expectations outlined in the sportsmanship statement will increase the attractiveness at our athletics events by creating a healthy environment for competition. A complete copy of the sportsmanship statement can be obtained by calling the OVC office at (615) 371-1698. The OVC has a variety of awards to recognize sportsmanship by its student-athletes, coaches, administrators and teams. In 1998, the OVC established the Steve Hamilton Sportsmanship Award, presented annually
to a male or female junior or senior student-athlete who best exemplifies the characteristics of the former Morehead State student-athlete, coach and administrator. Hamilton is the only individual to have ever played in a NCAA Basketball Championship, a Major League Baseball World Series (New York Yankees) and a National Basketball Association Championship Series (Minnesota Lakers). In 2003-04 the League began awarding the Institutional Sportsmanship Award, given to the OVC member institution selected by its peers to have best exhibited the standards of sportsmanship and ethical conduct as outlined by the OVC and NCAA. In 2005-06 the League expanded the sportsmanship award program by adding the Team Sportsmanship Award. An award is given to each sport sponsored by the OVC and is voted on by the student-athletes and coaches of the respective sports.

Beth DeBauche - Commissioner Elizabeth (Beth) DeBauche was named Commissioner of the Ohio Valley Conference on July 29, 2009 and began her duties with the league in September 2009. DeBauche (pronounced De-BUSH) is the seventh full-time Commissioner in the 66-plus year history of the OVC. She follows Art Guepe (1963-75), Paul Dietzel (1975-76), Bob Vanatta (1976-79), Jim Delany (1979-89), Dan Beebe (1989-2003) and Dr. Jon A. Steinbrecher (2003-09). DeBauche is one of just nine females to be the head of a Division I Conference in 2014-15. In May 2011 the league announced the addition of Belmont University to the OVC beginning in 2012-13. The addition of Belmont brought the OVC to 12 teams, the largest membership total in league history. DeBauche served as the Chair of the Nashville Local Organizing Committee (NLOC) for the 2014 NCAA Division I Women’s Basketball Final Four; the OVC served as the host institution of the event held at Bridgestone Arena in Nashville. It was termed one of the most successful Women’s Final Four’s ever by the NCAA staff, bringing more than 30,000 people to the city and resulting in an estimated economic impact of more than 20 million dollars. It also left a long-term mark on the city and middle Tennessee through a variety of legacy programs. Under DeBauche the league started an extensive strategic planning and branding initiative which led to the development of the league’s first tagline of “Inspiring Excellence Since 1948.” The project also produced the league’s first 30-second PSA commercial in over a decade as well as a longer feature video highlighting the Conference. In October 2013 the League launched OVCExtra.com, a fan-focused blog which features compelling, offbeat, and social media-sourced content from around the league. For 2014-15 the branding will branch out to include a diversity campaign. During the 2012-13 school DeBauche oversaw the switch of the league’s web streaming efforts to a free access model which was rebranded the OVC Digital Network (OVCDN). The new OVCDN included HD video for the first time and was made available on any platform/device. The Digital Network focuses on both athletic competition as well as telling the story of OVC and its member institutions. After seeing extreme growth in viewership in its first year as a free service, the OVCDN continued to grow with a 40 percent increase in overall viewership during year two (2013-14). In October 2013 the league signed a new five-year agreement with ESPN that runs through the completion of the 2017-18 season and includes a seven-game men’s basketball package as well as an eight-game ESPN3 Game of the Week football package which is done through a partnership with WebStream Sports. DeBauche also secured a deal with the CBS Sports Network to produce a four-game men’s basketball package for the first time in 2013-14. In her five years with the league the OVC has seen postseason success in men’s basketball as Murray State topped Vanderbilt in the first round of the NCAA Tournament in 2010, Morehead State beat Louisville in the second round in 2011 and Murray State bested Colorado State in the second round in 2012. Overall the league has won NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament games in four of the past six years, including four-straight years (2009-12) for the first-time in league history. In 2013 the OVC qualified three teams for the Football Championship Subdivision (FCS) Playoffs for the first time in league history, with each of those teams winning at least one game. Overall the OVC recorded a league-record four wins in the postseason and advanced two teams to the quarterfinals in the same season for just the second time in league history. OVC student-athletes have continued to achieve high levels of success not only on the field but also in the classroom. The league has consistently seen record number of honorees on the OVC Medal of Honor and OVC Commissioner’s Honor Roll lists during her tenure. During the past five years 52 OVC student-athletes have been named CoSIDA Academic All-Americans. DeBauche has also sponsored leadership programming for OVC student-athletes and coaches through comprehensive on-campus summits. In 2012-13 DeBauche helped spearhead a year-long celebration of the 40th Anniversary of Title IX. As part of the celebration each of the OVC’s 12-member institutions identified a pioneer in women’s athletics and gender equality from their school to be honored during the year and celebrated at a home athletic event on their campus. The celebration was capped in May when those honorees were recognized at a special luncheon as part of the OVC Spring Meetings. DeBauche currently serves on the NCAA Committee on Institutional Performance and the NCAA Division I Leadership Council. From August 2002 through August 2009 DeBauche, along with the vice-president of Division I, was responsible for coordinating Division I initiatives through the NCAA governance structure, as well as helping to manage the Division I agenda. Her duties included developing agendas and providing leadership for the Division I Board of Directors, Presidential Advisory Group and the Leadership Council. DeBauche has overseen the entire Division I governance structure and worked directly with the Legislative Council, the six cabinets and the supporting communications and coordination committee. She was also a liaison to governance representatives, external constituent groups and NCAA staff regarding legislative and governance activities. That role required DeBauche to have regular interaction with the Collegiate Commissioner’s Association (CCA), the CCA Compliance Coordinators, the Division I-A Athletics Directors Association, the National Association of Collegiate Women Athletics Administrators (NACWAA) and the Faculty Athletics Representatives Association (FARA). DeBauche also served as a liaison to the Women’s Basketball Issues Committee, the Presidential Oversight and Monitoring Group, the Men’s Basketball Academic Enhancement Group, the Presidential Task Force on Commercial Activity in Intercollegiate Athletics and the Two-Year College Relations Panel. In 2008, DeBauche was named the NACWAA Conference/Organization Administrator of the Year. Prior to her work at the NCAA, DeBauche worked at the Southeastern Conference (SEC) from November 1996 through August 2002. As an assistant and later associate commissioner, she managed all aspects of the SEC’s rules compliance program. DeBauche provided NCAA and SEC rules interpretations, developing rules education materials and programming, conducting compliance reviews and assisting member institutions with the NCAA certification program. At times during her tenure, she also served as the league’s liaison to the faculty athletics representatives, the compliance coordinators, directors of academic support and Student-Athletes Advisory Committee (SAAC) as well as the sports liaison to the leagues women’s golf, women’s tennis and women’s volleyball coaches. From 1996 to 1998 DeBauche was the Director of the National Letter of Intent (NLI) Program for the Collegiate Commissioners Association (CCA). In that role she was the administrator in charge of issuing all NLI rules interpretations, creating rules education materials and providing NLI rules education presentations as well as being the primary information resource for parents, student-athletes and the media. DeBauche got her start in collegiate athletics at Vanderbilt University where she was the Assistant Athletic Director for Compliance from August 1994 to November 1996. DeBauche received her Bachelor of Arts degree in history and government from Saint Mary’s College (Ind.) and earned her Master’s Degree in communications from Notre Dame. After completing the Concannon Program of International Law in London, England, DeBauche received her Juris Doctorate from the Notre Dame School of Law. A member of the Illinois, Wisconsin and Georgia Bar, following law school graduation DeBauche worked as an attorney in each Green Bay, Atlanta and Marietta, as well as serving as a Judicial Clerk to P. Harris Hines, who is currently serving on the Georgia Superior Court. DeBauche has been a member of the Notre Dame Club of Indianapolis Board of Directors, as well as a graduate of the Sports Management Institute and a participant in the Division I-A Athletic Directors Institute. She is a board member with the Nashville Sports Council and the Nashville YWCA, a member of the Nashville Catholic Business Women’s League, the women’s networking group CABLE, the Nashville Rotary and the International Women’s Forum of Tennessee. 2014-15 Ohio Valley Conference Basketball Media Guide • 7
Brad Walker - Associate Commissioner/Operations Brad Walker was named Associate Commissioner for Operations/Chief Operating Officer at the Ohio Valley Conference on Oct. 19, 2007 and began his duties at the OVC in Nov. 2007. Entering his eighth year at the OVC in 2014-15, Walker served as the League’s Interim Commissioner from May until midSeptember 2009. He was also a member of the Division I Championships/Sports Management Cabinet from 2009-11.

Preseason Player of the Year Cameron Payne, Murray State The 2014-15 OVC Preseason Men’s Basketball team is headlined by Murray State sophomore guard Cameron Payne who was named the OVC Preseason Player of the Year.

18 • 2014-15 Ohio Valley Conference Basketball Media Guide
2014-15 OVC MEN’S NOTES/PREVIEW The Season is Here: The 2014-15 season marks the 67th of competition for the Ohio Valley Conference. Over the previous 66 years, 13 different teams have claimed an OVC regular season championship. Last season Belmont won its second-straight OVC Championship. Wins in Six-Straight Postseasons: After both Belmont and Murray State recorded wins in the postseason last year, OVC teams have now at least won one game in each postseason for six-straight years, the longest stretch in league history. Morehead State won a NCAA game in 2009, Murray State won in the NCAA Tournament in 2010, Morehead State won in the NCAA’s in 2011, Murray State won in the NCAA’s in 2012, Eastern Kentucky won in the CIT in 2013, while Murray State won the CIT Championship in 2014 and Belmont advanced to the NIT Quarterfinals. Multiple Postseason Victories: For the second time in five years OVC teams won multiple postseason games in 2013-14 as Belmont and Murray State each advanced in the postseason (overall OVC teams were 7-3 in postseason play in 2014). The seven total wins are the most for the OVC in one postseason (topping the four wins in the 1971 season). The last time multiple teams won games was in 2010 when Murray State won in the NCAA Tournament and Morehead State won in the CBI. Overall the OVC had four men’s basketball teams selected for postseason play in 2013-14 (1 NCAA, 1 NIT, 1 CIT, 1 CBI), matching an all-time high for a single season, tying the mark set in 2011. In addition Murray State became the first-ever OVC men’s team to play in the month of April on its way to the CollegeInsider.com Postseason Tournament (CIT) Championship. OVC to Produce 14-Game National Television Package: The OVC will produce the largest national television package in its history in 2014-15 as 14 Conference games will air on either the ESPN Family of Networks or the CBS Sports Network. The Conference will once again have seven games on the ESPN Family of Networks, including four regular season games as well as the OVC Tournament semifinals and championship game. The OVC will also have a seven-game package on CBS Sports Network, up from just four games on the network a season ago. The 14-game package ensures that every member institution is on national television at least once this year. OVC Men’s Hoops in Third Year of Divisional Play: For the third year the OVC will use divisional play for men’s basketball (the OVC women’s teams are not using divisional play this year). The addition of Belmont University on July 1, 2012 gave the OVC 12 member institutions, the largest the Conference has been since it was formed in 1948 (the OVC is currently the nation’s eighth-oldest Division I conference). The East Division includes Belmont, Eastern Kentucky, Jacksonville State, Morehead State, Tennessee State and Tennessee Tech. The West Division includes Austin Peay, Eastern Illinois, Murray State, Southeast Missouri State, SIUE and UT Martin. OVC Tournament Format and Home Enters Year No. 5: After debuting a new format and home for the OVC Tournament in 2011, the tournament will once again return to Municipal Auditorium in Nashville this year. Once again the top eight men’s and women’s teams will qualify for the tournament and advance to play in Nashville (as opposed to playing first round games in campus sites) under a merit-based format. On the men’s side the No. 1 and 2 seeds will receive two byes to the semifinals while the No. 3 and 4 seeds will receive one bye into the quarterfinals. The first round will include the No. 5 seed against the No. 8 seed and the No. 6 seed against the No. 7 seed. Now that divisional play is used, the winner of each division is guaranteed one of the top two seeds while seeds 3-8 will be based on overall conference record regardless of division. The OVC women’s teams are using the traditional 1 vs. 8, 2 vs. 7, etc. bracket beginning with the 2014-15 season. OVC Players in the NBA: OVC players are filling out NBA rosters to begin the 2014-15 season. Five 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 fourth season with the Denver Nuggets and who recently signed a $60 million contract), former Murray State All-American Isaiah Canaan (who begins his second season in the league after being drafted by the Houston Rockets), former Belmont AllAmerican Ian Clark (who begins his second season with the Utah Jazz) and former Tennessee State standout Robert Covington (who begins his second season with the Houston Rockets). After finishing the 2013-14 season in the NBDL, former Tennessee Tech standout Kevin Murphy signed a free agent contract with the Utah Jazz in August. Murphy was drafted by the Jazz in the 2nd Round of the 2012 Draft and later traded to the Golden State Warriors in the summer of 2013.
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 2014-15 marks the ninth 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.

Following are a look at the top statistical returners this season based on their production during the 2013-14 season (Current year of eligibility indicated in parenthesis).
OVC Coaches Have Longevity: Two of the 12 OVC men’s coaches are among just a handful who have been at their school for an extended period of time. Entering this season Austin Peay’s Dave Loos and Belmont’s Rick Byrd are two of just six Division I head coaches who have been at the same school for at least 20 years. Loos is beginning his 25th season with the Govs while Byrd starts his 29th year with the Bruins. The other four coaches are Syracuse’s Jim Boeheim (39th season), Duke’s Mike Krzyzewski (35th season), Oakland’s Greg Kampe (31st season) and Davidson’s Bob McKillop (26th season). 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.
ALL-TIME COACHING VICTORIES Austin Peay head coach Dave Loos became the winningest coach in OVC history during the 2009-10 season. Loos passed the all-time mark previously held by Cal Luther (319). Below is a list of where the 12 current head coaches rank in OVC history. The overall record listed includes only seasons the coaches were a member of the OVC. In total, 100 coaches have led programs while a member of the OVC from 1948 to the present.
Murrray State sophomore Cameron Payne was named the 2014-15 OVC Preseason Player of the Year after being a first-team All-OVC selection and OVC Freshman of the Year last season. Payne led the Racers to the CollegeInsider.com Postseason Tournament (CIT) a year ago. For the season he averaged 16.8 points, 5.4 assists, 3.6 rebounds and 1.7 steals per game.

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 24th season at APSU, is the current Dean of OVC coaches. He is one of just six active Division I coaches to be at the same program for at least 20 years. Loos also perviously served as APSU’s athletic director, but stepped down from that role in April. • Austin Peay returns six players from last year’s team but also adds a pair of junior college transfers and four freshmen. • Junior Chris Horton enters the season with 192 career blocked shots and needs just 66 blocks to break the APSU career record held by Josh Lewis (257 from 2000-03). • Last season Austin Peay ranked 12th nationally in field goal percentage (48.8%) and was 11th in fewest total fouls (511).

Emerald Coast Classic (campus sites) Emerald Coast Classic (Destin, Fla.) 3 OVC Tournament (Municipal Auditorium - Nashville, Tenn.) * Ohio Valley Conference Game Home Games in Bold All Times Central and Subject to Change 2
TEAM NOTES • The Panthers return one of the biggest line-ups in the Ohio Valley Conference with the return of senior Mat Piotrowski at 7’1”, his brother junior Luke Piotrowski at 6’11” and junior Chris Olivier at 6’8”. • EIU will return four starters from last year’s club that advanced to the OVC Basketball Tournament in Nashville for the second straight season. That group was led in scoring by senior guard Reggie Smith who averaged 13.1 points per game with a team high 84 assists. The Panthers combined returning point total from last year’s squad is 44 points per game, two-thirds of last year’s scoring average. • The Panthers will open the season at Missouri State as the game will pay tribute to EIU coach Jay Spoonhour’s father, Charlie Spoonhour, a long-time coach at Missouri State. In addition the Panthers will play in the inaugural Emerald Coast Classic facing NCAA Tournament teams Cincinnati, Creighton and North Carolina Central in the field.

OVC Tournament (Municipal Auditorium - Nashville, Tenn.) * Ohio Valley Conference Game Home Games in Bold All Times Central and Subject to Change
TEAM NOTES • A year ago the Colonels captured the program’s sixth Ohio Valley Conference Tournament championship and made EKU’s eighth appearance in the NCAA Tournament. Eastern nearly upset No. 2 seed Kansas in the second round, leading the Jayhawks with 8:55 left in the game and trailing by only three with 3:39 to go. • However, six seniors -- Glenn Cosey, Jeff Johnson, Tarius Johnson, Marcus Lewis, Ryan Parsons and Orlando Williams -- departed the program. Four of those six -- Cosey, Tarius Johnson, Lewis and Williams -- accounted for 60.5 percent of the team’s scoring, 72.1 percent of its threepointers, 54.4 percent of its assists, 50.1 percent of its steals and 41.6 percent of its rebounds. • Two starters – Corey Walden and Eric Stutz – return for the 2014-15 season. Walden was the 2013-14 OVC Defensive Player of the Year, a Defensive All-American and the 2014 OVC Tournament MVP. Stutz led the team in rebounding, had the third best shooting percentage (65.1) in program history and scored 15 points against Kansas in the NCAA Tournament.

TEAM NOTES • The Golden Eagles took home an impressive 4-1 record during its trip to the Dominican Republic this summer, playing five games in five days. • Tech welcomes seven newcomers to the squad this season, including JUCO transfers Torrance Rowe, Ryan Martin, and Charles Jackson. • The Eblen Center continued to provide a great atmosphere to inspire the Tech team as the Golden Eagles compiled a 10-4 mark at home in 2013-14. The newly installed video board is sure to add to the pageantry of Tennessee Tech home games and keep a tradition of winning in Cookeville alive. • Senior Dwan Caldwell is back for his senior campaign as Tech’s leading returner in scoring, rebounding, blocks and minutes. Fellow senior Javon McKay returns as the most experienced Tech player, having competed in 91 contests as a Golden Eagle.

TEAM NOTES • UT Martin returns seven players and three starters from last season’s squad. Senior Myles Taylor averaged team-highs of 14.6 points and 6.3 rebounds per game in 2013-14 and ranks eighth in program history with 1,264 career points. He joins a returning starting backcourt of redshirt senior Marshun Newell (10.5 points and team-best 3.5 assists per game in 2013-14) and junior Dee Oldham (9.1 points per game, team-high 87 percent shooting from the free throw line in 2013-14). • Schroyer will also look for an immediate impact out of 10 newcomers, including senior transfer Deville Smith (9.7 points and 2.7 assists per game last season at UNLV) and junior college All-Americans Twymond Howard (15.8 points, 9.8 rebounds per game last season at Southwest Mississippi Community College) and Alex Anderson (16.7 points, 4.6 assists last season at Itawamba CC). • Going into his senior season, Myles Taylor ranks in the top-10 in six all-time UT Martin statistical categories. He ranks second in free throws made (383), second in free throws attempted (514), eighth in points (1,264), eighth in rebounds (532), eighth in blocks (62) and 10th in field goals made (430). He would need to average a little over 16 points per game in order to catch UT Martin’s all-time leading scorer Mike Meschede (1,729 points from 1984-88).

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 2-5, 2016, March 1-4, 2017 and Feb. 28 - March 3, 2018. Last season Eastern Kentucky won its sixth OVC Championship by topping defending champion Belmont 79-73.

#7 Seed
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 2014-15 regular-season begins on Nov. 14 with Conference play starting Jan. 1. Nine different teams have won a regular-season title with Tennessee Tech leading the way with 18. New Tournament Format: The bracketing for the OVC Women’s Basketball Tournament ishanging after four years under a merit-based format that gave the top four seeds byes. Beginning with the 2011 OVC Women’s Basketball Championship the bracket gave the No. 1 and No. 2 seeds double byes to the semifinals and the No. 3 and No. 4 seeds single byes to the quarterfinals. Beginning this season the bracket will return to a traditional 1/8, 2/7, 3/6, 4/5 format. The recommendation to change to this format also came from the women’s basketball coaches group in part to allow for all teams to arrive at the tournament site at the same time and allow for an awards recognition event the day prior to the tournament to celebrate OVC women’s basketball and interact with each other.The schedule for the 2015 Women’s Basketball Championship will see the No. 1 vs. No. 8 and No. 2 vs. No. 7 seeds playing on Wednesday, with the teams winning those games having an off day on Thursday when the first round games continue with No. 3 vs. No. 6 and No. 4 vs. No. 5 matchups. The semifinals will remain on Friday with the Championship Game still being played on Saturday. Playing On a New Day: Prior to the 2011-12 season the OVC’s women’s basketball slate shifted from the traditional Thursday/Saturday schedule (that saw them play back-to-back games with men’s teams) to a Saturday/Monday schedule. The change was made in order to give women’s basketball teams its own exclusive night of games, help with the development of women’s basketball and to grow its fan base. Beginning this season the schedule is changing to a Wednesday/Saturday format. The recommendation came from the women’s basketball coaches group who preferred to have Sunday as a true off day and believe that Wednesday will be more fan-friendly than Monday night games. The men’s schedule format will remain Thursday/Saturday. OVC Digital Newtork: This marks the third season of the OVC Digital Network. It launched last year and is a new and improved home for lives streaming of athletic contests involving OVC member institutions. One of the top features of the Network is that all events will be offered free for fans. The events will also feature improved quality with most events streaming in high definition (HD). Fans will also have easier access to the streams, easily accessing them through links at OVCDigitalNetwork. com without any registration being required. The streams will be available on any computer, tablet or smart phone without any app or software download thanks to the use of HTML5 technology. The portal also includes live stats and social media integration to give fans even more interaction. The streaming efforts will concentrate on football and men’s and women’s basketball in the first year, with all home non-conference and conference contests featuring OVC schools in those sports airing on the platform. 2013-14 In Review: UT Martin won its third OVC regular-season title and its fourth straight league tournament title. The Skyhawks defeated No. 2 Belmont, 78-60, in the championship game. Both UT Martin and Belmont earned post season bids as the Bruins were the league’s automatic bid in the WNIT and the Skyhawks played in the NCAA Tournament. The Skyhawks nearly knocked off North Carolina as they fell 60-58 in the first round of the NCAA Tournament. The Bruins dropped a 48-47 game
to Indiana in the first round of the WNIT. In his first year at the helm at Jacksonville State, Rick Pietri was named the OVC Coach of the Year. He led the Gamecocks to a 14-18 overall mark and an 8-8 OVC record in 2013-14 after JSU recorded just one win in 2012-13. UT Martin’s Heather Butler earned the OVC Player of the Year award after becoming the league’s all-time leading scoring. She finished her career with 2,865 points while teammate Jasmine Newsome is second on the OVC’s career list with 2,566 points. Newsome was also tabbed the the OVC Defensive Player of the Year after leading the league with 2.72 steals per outing. The Skyhawks Ashia Jones earned Freshman of the Year honors as she tallied 13.1 points per game in 2013-14. EKU to play in Preseason WNIT: The OVC will once again have a representative in the Preseason WNIT this year as Eastern Kentucky will participate in the tourney. The Colonels will travel to West Virginia on Nov. 15. The winner of the game will advance to play the winner of Seton Hall/ Rider. If a team loses in the first two rounds, they will finish the tournament in the consolation bracket. The consolation bracket will be re-drawn to form new matchups based on the geography of teams involved, who can/cannot host, and recent history of teams. The consolation bracket will be released Nov. 16 after all of the first round games are complete.

TEAM NOTES • Austin Peay returns its five leading scorers from last year’s team - Junior guard Tiasha Gray (438 points, 15.1 ppg), senior guard Kristen Stainback (348, 12.0), sophomoe center Tearra Banks (278, 9.6), junior forward Jennifer Nwokocha (262, 9.0) and sophomore center Beth Rates (214, 7.4) • The Lady Govs will face a handful of first time opponents in 2014-15.

It is the first time since the 2007-08 season APSU has scheduled two regular-season tournaments.

TEAM NOTES • After scoring a UT Martin single-season record with 2,681 points in 2013-14, the Skyhawks return just 1,045 or 39 percent of their scoring output from a season ago. • UT Martin head coach Kevin McMillan needs just eight wins to become the program’s all-time winningest coach passing Nadine Gearin and the pair of Gary & Kim Van Atta with 105 career victories. •Through a time of transition, the Skyhawks will turn to junior Katie Schubert and sophomore Ashia Jones to continue the program’s success. Schubert returns as a two-year starter while Jones is the leading returning scorer and the reigning OVC Freshman of the Year after averaging over 18 points per game in conference play last season. As a whole the Skyhawks return six players who saw action last season, including three starters in Schubert, Jones and Shai Warfield-Cross.

For the 21st time in 22 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 2015 edition of “Music City Madness” will include a variety of exciting action both on and off the court. The tournament made a return to Municipal Auditorium in 2011. The combined men’s and women’s championship has been held at Municipal Auditorium seven times: 1994, 1995, 1996, 2004, 2008, 2011, 2012 and 2013. The men also held its championship at the venue in 1989. Beginning with the 2011 OVC Women’s Basketball Championship the bracket gave the No. 1 and No. 2 seeds double byes to the semifinals and the No. 3 and No. 4 seeds single byes to the quarterfinals. Beginning this season the bracket will return to a traditional 1/8, 2/7, 3/6, 4/5 format. The recommendation to change to this format also came from the women’s basketball coaches group in part to allow for all teams to arrive at the tournament site at the same time and allow for an awards recognition event the day prior to the tournament to celebrate OVC women’s basketball and interact with each other. The schedule for the 2015 Women’s Basketball Championship will see the No. 1 vs. No. 8 and No. 2 vs. No. 7 seeds playing on Wednesday, with the teams winning those games having an off day on Thursday when the first round games continue with No. 3 vs. No. 6 and No. 4 vs. No. 5 matchups. The semifinals will remain on Friday with the Championship Game still being played on Saturday. Last year saw top-seeded UT Martin earn its fourth straight OVC Tournament defeating No. 2 Belmont, 78-66, 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. 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).
