47 THE OHIO VALLEY CONFERENCE Now in its 69th year, the Ohio Valley Conference continues to build on the success that has made it the nation's eighth-oldest NCAA Division I conference. The OVC s proud past dates back to 1948, but seeds for the new league were actually planted in 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 , 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 1950 s, 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 allconference 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. 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 BETH DeBAUCHE Commissioner KYLE SCHWARTZ Assistant Commissioner Media Relations 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. WKU went on to finish in third place after beating Kansas 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 victory over the Illini, and a narrow 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, 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, A bank shot by Mann that would ve given the Racers a one-point lead rolled off the rim with three seconds left. In recent years, Murray State has dominated the OVC Tournament, reaching the championship game every year in the 1990 s and winning the title seven times. In recent years the OVC has broken onto the national scene as the league has sent a team into the second round of the NCAA Tournament in each of the past four seasons. In 2012 Murray State was undefeated and ranked in the nation's top ten until later in the season advancing to the round of 32 in the NCAA Tournament. In 2011 Morehead State made the second round with a first round upset over Louisville. Murray State advanced to the NCAA second round in 2010 while Morehead State won the NCAA first round play-in game in 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 69th year the Ohio Valley Conference has grown significantly from its humble beginnings while increasing the number of athletics opportunities it provides for students. In 2008 Southern Illinois University Edwardsville joined the league replacing Samford University. In May of 2011 the league announced that Nashville based Belmont University would join the league for the season. Other current league representatives include charter members Eastern Kentucky University, Morehead State University and Murray State University, along with Austin Peay State University, Eastern Illinois University, Jacksonville State University, Southeast Missouri State University, Tennessee State University, Tennessee Technological University and the University of Tennessee at Martin Centerview Drive Suite 115 Brentwood, TN (615) (phone) (615) (fax) Ohio Valley Conference Members Austin Peay State University - Clarksville, Tennessee Belmont University - Nashville, Tennessee Eastern Illinois University - Charleston, Illinois Eastern Kentucky University - Richmond, Kentucky Jacksonville State University - Jacksonville, Alabama Morehead State University - Morehead, Kentucky Murray State University - Murray, Kentucky Southeast Missouri State University - Cape Girardeau, Missouri Southern Illinois University Edwardsville - Edwardsville, Illinois Tennessee Technological University - Cookeville, Tennessee Tennessee State University - Nashville, Tennessee University of Tennessee at Martin - Martin, Tennessee ALL-OVC TEAMS Player of the Year: Evan Bradds - Belmont Defensive Player of the Year: Tahjere McCall - Tennessee State Freshman of the Year: Nick Mayo - Eastern Kentucky Coach of the Year: Dana Ford - Tennessee State FIRST TEAM Evan Bradds - Belmont Torrance Rowe - Tennessee Tech Chris Horton - Austin Peay Craig Bradshaw - Belmont Twymond Howard - UT Martin Tahjere McCall - Tennessee State Keron DeShields - Tennessee State Jeffery Moss - Murray State Nick Mayo - Eastern Kentucky Trae Anderson - Eastern Illinois SECOND TEAM Jarelle Reischel - Eastern Kentucky Ryan Martin - Tennessee Tech Josh Robinson - Austin Peay JaVontae Hawkins - Eastern Kentucky Corban Collins - Morehead State ALL-NEWCOMER TEAM Keron DeShields - Tennessee State Tahjere McCall - Tennessee State Jarelle Reischel - Eastern Kentucky Nick Mayo - Eastern Kentucky Ryan Martin - Tennessee Tech TOP SCORERS 1...Chris Horton, APSU Torrance Rowe, TTU Jarelle Reischel, EKU Evan Bradds, BEL Javontae Hawkins, EKU TOP REBOUNDERS 1...Chris Horton, APSU Evan Bradds, BEL Wayne Martin, TSU Ryan Martin, TTU DeJuan Marrero, MORE TOP ASSISTS 1...Austin Luke, BEL Cornell Johnston, EIU Paul Jackson, EKU Torrance Rowe, TTU Bryce Jones, MUR TOP BLOCKED SHOTS 1...Chris Horton, APSU Anthony Morse, TSU Christian Cunningham, JSU Keenan Simmons, SIUE Wyane Martin, TSU Nick Mayo, EKU...34 TOP STEALS 1...Tahjere McCall, TSU Brent Arrington, MORE Jarelle Reischel, EKU Isiah Jones, SEMO Chris Horton, APSU...49 TOP FIELD GOAL PERCENTAGE 1...Evan Bradds, BEL Wayne Langston, MUR Myles Taylor, UTM Nick Mayo, EKU Chris Horton, APSU EASTERN ILLINOIS MEN'S BASKETBALL

66 EASTERN ILLINOIS TOURNAMENT HISTORY GOING DANCING IN 1992 'DREAMS DO COME TRUE' You coach this sport with a dream to get to the NCAA tournament... athletes play this sport with a dream to reach the NCAA tournament... and here at Eastern Illinois University... dreams do come true! That quote was delivered by head coach Rick Samuels to a cheering throng of fans in Lantz Arena as they welcomed home the Mid-Continent Conference tournament champion Panthers, who advanced to the NCAA Division I tournament for the first time in school history. Five seniors, the heart-and-soul of the team, knocked off Wright State in the first round, upset heavily favored regular-season champion Wisconsin-Green Bay in the semifinals, and then controlled the game from the outset to defeat Illinois-Chicago in the title game of the tournament. The five seniors were Barry Johnson, three-time Honorable Mention All-Midwest; Steve Rowe, tournament MVP; Dave Olson, most prolific three point shooter in Mid-Con history; Kavien Martin, team leader as the point guard; and Rod McKinnis, who provided the inspiration after a season ending knee injury. The team was honored by Governor Jim Edgar (EIU Class of 68), the state legislature at the Illinois capital building, as well as welcomed by the Charleston community and members of the University. The Panthers lost to the Indiana Hoosiers, an eventual 'Final Four' participant, in the first round of the West Regional in Boise, EASTERN ILLINOIS MEN'S BASKETBALL
