(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).

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
