(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).

Three more road wins so far in @ValleyHoops as @BradleyUMBB @BelmontMBB & @UIC_MBB capture road wins. Looks like @DrakeBulldogsMB will do so too. #FatherHarry
Well @RacersWBB followed the men's example and swept Iowa in the @ValleyHoops race! Racers are 6-1 & if @BelmontWBB holds on to their Iowa sweep, the Bruins and Racers will be tied for first. What a trip for those two teams! #FatherHarry
After today's action, @EIUWBB is 8-0 in @OVCSports play. 4 teams @usiwbb @TTUWBB @LRTrojans @LindenwoodWBB are tied at 6-2. Six other teams are under .500. Great race to the finish lies ahead. #FatherHarry
Really entertaining game between @BelmontMBB & @UEAthletics_MBB. Under four minutes left in a one point game. Gabriel Pozzato back in the Aces' lineup. Rogers is playing like I've expected. Triples are dropping. It's fun and @kylejpeach bringing it on #ThePlus #FatherHarry
