OVC Making Noise

images-5(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.
