No. 22 Murray State beats Morehead State to win OVC tourney | |
EVANSVILLE, Ind. (AP) Tevin Brown scored 23 points to lead No. 22 Murray State over Morehead State 71-67 on Saturday night, giving the Racers their 20th consecutive victory, the Ohio Valley Conference tournament title and an automatic spot in the NCAA Tournament. "We got our culture back," Brown said with a championship trophy in front of him and a basketball net around his neck. Tournament MVP Justice Hill added 21 points for the Racers (30-2), who shot just 38% from the field but won the rebounding battle 47-31 and had an edge on second-chance points (16-7). His late steal and drive and assist to 2022 OVC Player of the Year KJ Williams put Murray State up 65-61 late. MORE | |
