Conferences. The ACC, Big 12, Big East, Big Ten, Pac-10/12 and SEC are the BCS-level conferences that have won at least one game in each of the past three years.

Postseason Success: Not since the late 1980s has the OVC experienced the kind of NCAA Tournament success the program has had in the last three years. After winning NCAA Tournament games in each 1987, 1988 and 1989, the OVC went 20 years without a NCAA victory. That changed in 2009 when Morehead State topped Alabama State 58-43 in front of a record crowd at the Opening Round game in Dayton, Ohio. A year later it was No. 13 seed Murray State who won, topping No. 4 seed Vanderbilt 66-65 when Danero Thomas nailed a buzzer-beater in San Jose. Last season it was Morehead State’s turn again, as the Eagles were seeded 13th and sent to Denver to battle No. 4-seed Louisville. MSU got off to a 15-2 lead nearly eight minutes into the game but trailed 61-59 with 31 seconds to play. On its fi nal 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 blocked Louisville’s last shot attempt to seal the victory. It marked the third time in OVC history that teams had won NCAA Tournament games in three consecutive seasons (1960-61-62, 1987-88-89 and 2009-10-11). The OVC has never won at least one NCAA Tourna- ment game in four-straight years.

At-Large Bids: Should Murray State not win the OVC Tournament this week, the Racers are very likely to gain an at-large bid to the NCAA Tournament (RPI of 29, 4-0 vs. Top 100 teams, undefeated on the road). If that were to happen and the OVC would get two teams into the NCAA Tournament fi eld, it would mark only the second time in OVC history that would have occurred. In 1987 Middle Tennessee won the regular season championship but was topped by Austin Peay in the semifi nals and APSU would go on to win the tournament and earn the automatic selection to the NCAAs. Middle Tennessee, however, would earn at at-large berth (and No. 12 seed) in the tournament and lose to Notre Dame in the fi rst round. Austin Peay, seeded 15th, would go on to top No. 3 seed Illinois 68-67 before falling to No. 6 seed Providence (a team that would go onto the Final Four with Billy Donovan and head coach Rick Pitino) in overtime in the second round.

Former OVC Players in the NBA/NBDL: Entering the season there was only one former OVC player on a NBA roster. Former Morehead State All-American Kenneth Faried was the No. 22 overall pick in the 2011 NBA Draft and is in his rookie season with the . Faried was a two-time OVC Player of the Year, three-time OVC Defensive Player of the Year and set the NCAA Modern Era (since 1973) Rebounding record during his career. On Jan. 20, former Jack- sonville State standout Walker Russell got the call up from the NBDL, going from the Fort Wayne Mad Ants to the . Russell was a NBDL All-Star a season ago. There are also four former OVC players playing in the NBA Development League including former Jacksonville State’s Nick Murphy (Iowa Energy), Tennessee State’s Bruce Price (Dakota Wizards), Tennessee Tech’s Willie Jenkins (Idaho Stampede) and UT Martin’s Reuben Clayton (Reno Bighorns).

The 2011-12 Season: The 2011-12 season marks the 64th of competition in the OVC. Over the previous 63 years, 12 different teams have claimed an OVC regular season championship.

Tennessee Tech’s Murphy Tabbed as Preseason Player of the Year: The 2011-12 All-OVC Preseason Men’s Basketball team was headlined by Tennessee Tech senior Kevin Murphy, who was a fi rst-team All-OVC selection a season ago. Overall six different schools were represented on the team with Austin Peay, Murray State, Tennessee State and Tennessee Tech having two selections apiece. Eastern Illinois and Southeast Missouri each had one selection to round out the team. The squad features three players who were All-OVC fi rst-team selections last season, three players who were second-team selections and four players who were selected to the All-Newcomer squad. Murphy’s 17.0 points/game last season ranked third in the league and helped the high-powered Tennessee Tech offense lead the OVC in scoring (74.6 points/game). His play helped the Golden Eagles to 20 victories for the fi rst time since 2002-03 and a berth in the OVC Tournament Championship game. Although TTU came up short in that game, they were invited to the CollegeInsider.com Postseason Tournament, marking the fi rst postseason play for the program since 2001-02. Murphy also averaged 4.5 rebounds, 1.7 assists and 1.0 steals/game while hitting 47.8 percent from the fi eld in 33 total contests. In addition to Murphy, Austin Peay’s TyShwan Edmondson and Murray State’s Isaiah Canaan were each fi rst-team selections last year and are on the preseason team this year. The second-team selections from last year appearing on the preseason team this year were Southeast Missouri’s Leon Powell and Tennessee State’s Robert Covington and Kenny Moore. The Preseason All-OVC team was rounded out by Austin Peay’s Anthony Campbell, Eastern Illinois’ Jeremy Granger, Murray State’s Ivan Aska and Tennessee Tech’s Zac Swansey.

Austin Peay Picked as Preseason Favorites: In a vote of OVC head men’s basketball coaches and sports information directors Austin Peay received 10 fi rst- place votes and was picked as the favorite for the 2011-12 season. It marks the fi rst time since the 2007-08 season that the Governors have been picked as the preseason favorite (the team went on to win the OVC Championship that year). Austin Peay received 185 total points, which was four points ahead of Tennessee Tech, who received eight total fi rst-place votes and were picked second. Defending regular season champion Murray State picked up three fi rst-place votes and was picked third (169), Tennessee State was picked fourth (145), defending tournament champion Morehead State received the other fi rst-place vote and was tabbed fi fth (128) and was followed by Southeast Missouri (106), Eastern Kentucky (90), UT Martin (73), Eastern Illinois (67), Jacksonville State (40) and SIUE (27).

Preseason Predictions: Is being picked the preseason favorite always a good thing? Over the past 32 years of preseason polls that were available, the league’s head coaches and sports information directors correctly picked the eventual OVC regular season champion 60.6 percent of the time, picking the correct winner 20 times over the past 33 years. Over the past 12 years, the preseason poll has correctly picked the winner six times. Last season the poll tabbed Murray State to win the regular season championship, which is did. That marked the fi rst time in the last decade that the preseason poll had predicted the champion correctly in back-to-back years. This year the poll predicted Austin Peay, but Murray State won the championship.
