(St. Louis, MO) – No it’s not the ‘Big Dance’ but Ohio Valley Conference teams are still playing post season basketball. Murray State hosts Nebraska-Omaha tonight (Monday) in College Insider.com tournament action and Belmont plays in the quarterfinals of the National Invitation Tournament tomorrow (Tuesday) at Clemson.
Murray State (19-11) has been off since Wednesday when they edged Missouri State 66 to 63. They entertain Nebraska-Omaha (17-14) at 7 p.m. The Racers’ win over the Bears was just the second CIT win ever for an OVC team.
Clemson (22-12), who edged Illinois Sunday 50-49, welcome the OVC’s East Division champion Belmont (26-9) who has reached the quarterfinals with wins over Green Bay and Robert Morris.
The three post season OVC wins are the most for the league since 2002.

I commented on @TVBOren's post about @CarsonSchwieger's signing with @ValpoBasketball, but this is a significant signing for @RogerPowellJr. The Schwieger's will complement each other well and with the other guys they have, this Beacons team will be players in the @ValleyHoops
It is @SaintLouisMBB for @Robbie_Avila30! Huge for the Billikens and first year coach @JoshSchertzSLU! Breaking from the @TheFieldOf68 guys on YouTube.
