Cherry Bottom said that her moves were inspired by other drag queens and Christina Aguilera’s performance in the musical “Burlesque.” Lady Deviant shocked the crowd by kissing a crowd member after “Voguing,”which is a style of dance, and cartwheeling throughout the perfor- mance. During another portion of the show she appeared in a white corset and danced with audience members to “Who Run the World” by Beyoncé. Lady Devi- ant said she thought about what it meant to be in drag when planning out her per- formance. “The stereotypical image of a drag per- former is tall and skinny. I fit the tall part but not the skinny. I wanted to show that I could do it too,” she said. She said 95 percent of her perfor- mance was not choreographed and was all in the moment.

After a successful first year of having the men’s and women’s basketball OVC Tournaments at Evansville’s , the OVC Board of Pres- idents voted to have it return in 2019 and 2020. The OVC announced that it would return in a press release on Thursday. It was the first time the tournament was not held in Nashville since 2002. The location of the stadium is closer for a ma- jority of the OVC teams, which helped atten- dance sky rocket compared to Nashville. Attendance for the championship game in- creased by about 3,000 people and the semifinal game increased by about 1,000 people. The Panthers, who usually had close to a five- hour drive to Nashville, can now enjoy a short- ened drive of two and a half hours to Evansville. The men’s basketball team was in the tour- nament this and coach Jay Spoonhour is happy about keeping it in Evansville. “I thought the city did a really good job pub- licizing it and promoting it,” he said. “We got most of the coaches on TV talking about their teams. I like the arena. It’s just a much nicer place than the one in Nashville.” The Ford Center opened in 2001 and houses JUSTIN BROWN | THE DAILY EASTERN NEWS the men’s basketball team Freshman guard Mack Smith gets off a shot in the second half of the Panthers’ OVC conference tournament opeing round game at the Ford and the hockey team.

Now that the Eastern baseball team has found its offensive stride that was missing a week ago, the Panthers will try to fill other key holes in another weekend conference series. Eastern is fresh off an 11-6 win over Robert Morris Chicago, grant- ed, that is an NAIA level team, but still it was an important one head- ing into this matchup against Murray State. Tyler Jones is a key factor in any success coming Eastern’s way when facing the Racers, as he has been lights out on the mound this season with a 2-1 record and earned run av- erage below 1.00. Now, he has the task in the game on Friday afternoon of containing a Murray State lineup that has scored pretty well in its past few games. The Racers took two of three games from Southern Illinois Ed- wardsville last weekend, and they combined for 22 runs in that series. Alex Stevenson gets the ball in game two for Eastern, and he has been up and down this season but has been thrown in some crucial sit- uations. He is 1-3 on the year with an ERA near 7.00, but there was a solid out- ing against Memphis earlier in the season with just one run allowed over 7.1 innings pitched in that vic- tory. The starter for game three has not been announced yet, but the depth SEAN HASTINGS| THE DAILY EASTERN NEWS of the pitching staff is sure to be key Senior Matt Albert is congratulated at the plate by redshirt junior Tyler Tesmond (15) and senior Logan Beaman after hitting a three-run home run in the as always. fourth inning in Eastern’s 10-8 loss to Indiana State Tuesday at Coaches Stadium.
