(Nashville, TN) – Murray State has the target on its back as the pre-season favorite to win the Ohio Valley Conference basketball title. Head Coach Steve Prohm’s Racers were named the favorites by the media last week and the coaches and SIDs this week.

Racer guard Cameron Payne was also named the pre-season player of the year. The sophomore averaged 16.8 points and 5.4 assists last season and is poised for some national recognition.
Perennial conference champion Belmont was named the favorite to win OVC’s East Division and Murray obviously was picked to win the West.
The rest of the OVC pre-season all conference team are Payne’s teammates Jarvis Williams and T.J. Sapp, Jarekious Bradley (SEMO), Crag Bradshaw and Reece Chamberlain (Belmont), Chris Horton (Austin Peay), Myles Taylor (UT Martin), Corey Walden (EKU) and Angelo Warner (Morehead State).

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.
