The Murray State Racers landed a trio of players on the All-Ohio Valley Conference Men’s Basketball Team 2017-18 All-OVC Men’s Basketball Teams for the 2017-18 season as announced by the league office after a vote of the head coaches and sports information directors. As OVC regular season and tournament champions, the Racers are proud to represent OVC Player of the Year their league in the NCAA Tournament in 2018. Jonathan Stark, Murray State

Jonathan Stark, Terrell Miller and Ja Morant were all named to the All-OVC First Team and Stark was honored OVC Defensive Player of the Year: as the OVC Player of the Year. Morant was also named to the All-OVC Newcomer team. Christian Mekowulu, Tennessee State

The last time MSU had three players make All-OVC, it was from the 2011-12 team when Isaiah Canaan, Donte OVC Freshman of the Year: Poole and Ivan Aska were selected. Terry Taylor, Austin Peay

Jonathan Stark – G, 6-0, 180, Sr., Munford, Tennessee OVC Coach of the Year: OVC PLAYER OF THE YEAR & ALL-OVC FIRST TEAM Matt Figger, Austin Peay Jonathan Stark had a monster season in leading the OVC in scoring (16th NCAA) for a second-straight season at 21.8 points per game. His season-high scoring game ALL-OVC FIRST TEAM was a 36-point performance at home against Southeast Missouri. A confident and Jonathan Stark, Murray State competent shooter, Stark has 19 games this season of 20-plus points and four Dylan Windler, Belmont of 30-plus. He has scored 676 points (19th NCAA) after scoring 723 in his junior Averyl Ugba, Austin Peay season. Denzel Mahoney, Southeast Missouri Terry Taylor, Austin Peay Stark represents the 19th total OVC Player of the Year for the Racers and the 14th Amanze Egekeze, Belmont different player. He’s the first to be honored since Cameron Payne (2014-15) and Nick Mayo, Eastern Kentucky Isaiah Canaan who won his second in the 2012-13 season. Terrell Miller, Murray State Austin Luke, Belmont Stark topped his 2017 MSU record of 108 3-point baskets, as he has 109 (8th Ja Morant, Murray State NCAA) entering the NCAA Tournament. Stark is seventh in the nation with 3.52 made 3-pointers, his 3-point percentage (.410) is 61st in the nation. Stark is the all-time leader in scoring for two-year players at Murray ALL-OVC SECOND TEAM State with 1,399 points. Christian Mekowulu, Tennessee State Curtis Phillips, Jr., Tennessee Tech He’s the only active player in NCAA D-I that has more than 2,100 points and 500 assists when his two seasons Jalen Henry, SIUE at Tulane are added to his two seasons with Murray State. Malcolm Drumwright, Jacksonville State Montell Goodwin, Eastern Illinois Terrell Miller – F, 6-8, 245, Sr., Jacksonville, Florida ALL-OVC FIRST TEAM ALL-NEWCOMER TEAM For much of the season, Terrell Miller was among the top-10 rebounders and Averyl Ugba, Austin Peay scorers in the OVC and his 10 double-doubles has pushed him to 8.3 rebounds per Terry Taylor, Austin Peay game (98th NCAA), second in the OVC and 12th in the league with 14.7 points per Ja Morant, Murray State game. His season-high scoring game was a 25-point performance against Illinois Ledarrius Brewer, Southeast Missouri State and his best rebounding game was 18 against Jacksonville State in the OVC Jason Burnell, Jacksonville State Tournament semifinals. He also had 15 rebounds against Auburn this season. Miller Mack Smith, Eastern Illinois is 31st in the nation with 6.97 defensive rebounds per game and in the OVC, he’s fourth in field goal percentage at .500.

Miller is pressing to become a member of the MSU 1000-Point Club as he enters the NCAA Tournament with 985 points. He has 527 MSU rebounds and is already in a special class at MSU as one of only five two-year players that have reached 500. If Miller can reach 1,000 points, he’ll become the 21st MSU player with 1,000 points and 500 rebounds.

Stark and Miller are the 28th and 29th MSU players to be named All-OVC twice.

Ja Morant – G, 6-3, 170, Fr., Dalzell, S.C. ALL-OVC FIRST TEAM & ALL-OVC NEWCOMER TEAM What sets Ja Morant apart at the point guard position is his ability to rebound. There are few players in NCAA D-I that can score, rebound and assist like him. Heading into the NCAA Tournament, Morant is ranked 18th in the OVC in scoring at 12.6 points per game, 12th in rebounding at 6.6 per game and second in assists with 6.4 per game. In NCAA D-I, he is the second ranked freshman (14th overall) in assists per game behind only Oklahoma sensation Trey Howard at 9.1. Four times this season, Morant has crashed the boards for double-digit rebounds including a season-high 12 against Saint Louis and SIUE. His 14 assists against Eastern Illinois was third all-time in a single-game at MSU and a record for MSU’s home court at the CFSB Center.

In that same game with EIU, Morant became just the second Racer (in records that start in 1984), to record a triple-double when he had 11 points, 10 rebounds and 14 assists.

The All-OVC Newcomer Team was first selected in the 1992-93 season and was halted from 2000-05. Morant is the 17th Racer to be named. Stark and Miller were on the newcomer team last season.

Morant follows the last Racer freshman to be named All-OVC in Cameron Payne after the 2013-14 season.

 Stark, who set the MSU record with 39 consecutive made free throws at the start of OVC play in January, just ended another impressive streak of 21 in a row. OOVCVC AACTIVECTIVE LLEADERSEADERS  The Morehead State game (Jan. 25) marked the fifth time in their two-year careers with the Racers that (As Of March 9) Jonathan Stark and Terrell Miller each scored 20 points in a game. Here is the list. POINTS SCORED 1582 Nick Mayo, Eastern Kentucky Stark (23), Miller (21), MOR 01-25-18 1399 Jonathan Stark, Murray State Miller (24), Stark (21), Auburn 12-19-17 1369 Malcolm Drumwright, Jacksonville State Stark (33), Miller (27), MOR 02-08-17 1350 Amanze Egekeze, Belmont Miller (28), Stark (23), JSU 01-05-17 1319 Aleksa Jugovic, Tennessee Tech Stark (21), Miller (21), WSU 12-22-16 1091 Denzel Mahoney, Southeast Missouri 1059 Jalen Henry, SIUE 1009 Terrell Lewis, Eastern Illinois The Racers had another instance of two with 20 or more points at SEMO (Feb. 1). Stark had 29 points and 985 Terrell Miller, Murray State Ja Morant set his career-high with 23 points. 985 Dylan Windler, Belmont 977 Matthew Butler, UT Martin  Jonathan Stark’s six 3-pointers against Morehead State marked the 10th time he’s had six or more in game. Stark has a share of the MSU record nine threes in a single game after he hit nine at South Dakota REBOUNDS State in 2016. He shares the record with Justine Burdine who hit nine at home against Eastern Kentucky in 642 Dylan Windler, Belmont 2002. Last season Stark hit 108 3-pointers and set the MSU single-season record. 609 Christian Cunningham, Jacksonville State 581 Amanze Egekeze, Belmont Jonathan Stark ended last season by hitting a 3-point shot in each of the final 11 games. Before that he 563 Nick Mayo, Eastern Kentucky had a three in his first 21 games as a Racer, but had an 0-of-5 at home against Southeast Missouri on Feb. 527 Terrell Miller, Murray State 26, 2017. Since going 0-4 against Marist (Dec. 16) he has hit at least one three in the last 22 games. 521 Keenan Simmons, SIUE

 Stark’s 36 points was the fourth-best scoring game in the 20 seasons of the CFSB Center against SEMO ASSISTS (Jan. 6). The top scoring game was 42 points Isaac Spencer had in 2001 against Tennessee State. Stark’s 681 Austin Luke, Belmont amazing night didn’t get going until he scored his first points on a jumper with 9:84 remaining in the first 501 Terrell Lewis, Eastern Illinois half. 394 Malcolm Drumwright, Jacksonville State 294 Jonathan Stark, Murray State 288 Aleksa Jugovic, Tennessee Tech  Ja Morant makes a run at a triple-double seems like every game. His triple-double at home against 221 Matthew Butler, UT Martin Eastern Illinois (Dec. 28) was only the second triple-double at Murray State in records that date back to 216 Kajon Mack, Tennessee Tech 1984. 209 Jonathan Dalton, Southeast Missouri 199 Ja Morant, Murray State Ja Morant has certainly made a splash in his first season with Murray State. On top of his obvious talents at the point guard position, his ability to rebound has been a surprise. Morant had 12 rebounds at STEALS Saint Louis (Dec. 12). There have been plenty of freshman forwards to get 10 or more in game against an 110 Terrell Lewis, Eastern Illinois NCAA D-I team. However, Morant was the first Racer freshman guard to get 10-plus since 1980 when Glen 96 Aleksa Jugovic, Tennessee Tech Green pulled down 12 rebounds against Austin Peay. 92 Mason Ramsey, Tennessee Tech 88 Austin Luke, Belmont Ja Morant’s 13-straight free throws at the start of the season matched the start that the great Jeffery 85 Jonathan Stark, Murray State Moss did as a freshman in 2012. 3-POINTERS MADE 230 Aleksa Jugovic, Tennessee Tech Ja Morant’s 14 assists in the EIU game (Dec. 28) tied for third all-time at Murray State in records that 222 Amanze Egekeze, Belmont date back to 1984. His game also set the record for the 20 seasons at the CFSB Center surpassing the 12 217 Jonathan Stark, Murray State assists Aubrey Reese had for the Racers against Alabama State in 1999. 209 Terrell Lewis, Eastern Illinois 177 Malcolm Drumwright, Jacksonville State The Racers held EIU (Dec. 28) to .286 from the field on 18-of-63 shots. The last time MSU held an 172 Matthew Butler, UT Martin NCAA D-I opponent under 30 percent was at Georgia on Nov. 20, 2015 when the Bulldogs were 17-of-57 161 Austin Luke, Belmont for a percentage of .298. 143 Delano Spencer, Tennessee State 141 Montell Goodwin, Eastern Illinois The Racers broke into the CollegeInsider.com Mid-Major Poll on Jan. 1 at No. 24.

Following an off-season which saw the brawny, 6-foot-8 Racer senior shed close to 30 pounds, Miller has gotten his final season off to a big start. Averaging 17.1 points and 7.8 rebounds per game, Miller has not only helped lead the Racers to an 8-3 record thus far, he’s positioned himself to take a run at the OVC Player of the Year award.

“I had a good year last year, but this year is a lot better because of the weight I lost,” Miller said after the team’s last practice in Murray prior to a short Christ- mas break. “I have a lot more energy, I’m more active and can play longer at the same level.”
