(St. Louis, MO) – Morehead State is still playing postseason basketball. With Northern Iowa, Wichita State and UT Martin all dropping out of March basketball this weekend, the Eagles are the only team in our two leagues still alive. (Tennessee Tech plays in the ‘2016 Vegas 16′ later in the month). Their quarterfinal win in the College Basketball Invitational means the Ohio Valley Conference has sent a least one team to the semifinals of a post season tournament for the second straight year.
The Eagles ran their home record to 13 and 2 with an 82 to 72 win over the A-10’s Duquesne Monday night. Morehead, (21-12) picked up double figure scoring from four players, led by Brent Arrington’s 17. They handed out 18 assists, led by Corban Collins’ six helpers. Collins was a second team all-OVC performer this year.
Former Drake Bulldog, Micah Mason led Duquesne’s Bobcats with 24 points, finishing his collegiate career with over 1,200 points in his three year stint with Duquesne. In Sean Woods’ four years with the Eagles they are 73-61 and have been a part of the CBI in two of the last three years.
Missouri Valley Conference teams (Wichita State and Northern Iowa) went three and two in this offseason. Ohio Valley Conference teams (Austin Peay, Belmont, Tennessee State, UT Martin and Morehead State) are three and four so far.

Flooding, lightning strikes, etc. have cost @RacersHoops two home games. Had to play 'neutral site' tonight instead of at home and Wednesday's goes from home to away. Tough break for the Racers, and the whole area has been hit with difficulties. #FatherHarry
Murray State's scheduled home game Wednesday vs. Southern Illinois being moved to Banterra Center in Carbondale. #ValleyHoops
Gigantic game for @BradleyUMBB today in Des Moines. If they have a chance to catch @DrakeBulldogsMB, they have to win today. The Bulldogs can basically win the title today. @BustingBrackets breaks it all down. #FatherHarry https://bit.ly/3EGiVgi
Not rooting for any particular @ValleyHoops, but chaos is always fun. If things break certain ways, after today there could be a six-way tie for fifth place.
Fun to listen to @MLBLarry on the @SIU_Basketball/@BelmontMBB game tonight. Good job brother. #FatherHarry
