St. Louis, MO – Ohio Valley Conference players are receiving national notoriety. Murray State senior Isaiah Canaan and Belmont’s Ian Clark were named honorable mention All-Americans by the Associated Press.
The players shared the OVC’s Player of the Year award and both will be a part of the 3-point championship at this weekend’s Final Four weekend.
Canaan was a second-team pre-season All-American pick and scored over 2,000 points in his Murray State career and averaged almost 22 points per game this year. During his four-year career the Racers advanced to the NCAA tournament three times and the National Invitation Tournament once. He was a two time, OVC Player of the Year.
Clark scored over 1,900 points and connected on 340 three-point baskets. The 6’3 guard was not only the co-POY in the OVC, but also was the league’s top defensive player.
During Clark’s career at Belmont the Bruins won seven conference championships (four regular season & three tournament titles).
These two players have arguably had the best ‘in tandem’ careers in OVC history.
