More (Positive) Changes Coming!
(St. Louis, MO) – Ohio Valley Conference Commissioner Beth DeBauche believes good things are ahead for the 75-year-old league. We sat down during the waning hours of the OVC Basketball Media day.
During our conversation we discussed the league’s three new teams (Lindenwood, Little Rock and Southern Indiana) and a season of transition. The Commissioner was not shy about saying expansion is likely in the OVC’s future.
League television coverage will be done uniquely. Each of the OVC’s ESPN games will be decided by a ‘wild-card’ formation. Teams can play their way on to the four-letter-network.
We discussed the location of the OVC Tournament. It appears that the league tournament will continue to be played in Evansville until at least 2024. However, the tournament could be under-going a change. The Commissioner shared that some ‘on campus’ games could be a part of the tournament in the future.
Please enjoy our conversation with the classy Commissioner Beth DeBauche.

Good officiating in the @SEMOMBB/@SIUEMBB in a little late game dust up.
BTW, @LindenwoodWBB is 2-0. @CoachAmyEagan has that program headed the right direction.
With @SkyhawkHoops winning on the road and @LUMensBball winning at home, right now, 5 @OVCSports teams are 1-1.
