The Ohio Valley Conference championship has been decided – by the OVC’s biggest star. Murray State finished off Belmont 77-65 as Ja Morant scored 36 points to lead the Racers to the tournament.
It has been a great day of basketball – watching Virginia come back to beat Louisville and take a share of the ACC. Watching North Carolina come out a couple down at halftime and take a big lead before holding off one last Duke run to win the other share of the ACC. Michigan State came back from down 9 to knock off Michigan and win a share of the Big 10 championship.
And while those games are all big – and matter a lot in the seeding of the top teams, there is only one game tonight that ensured a team a ticket to the dance – and that ticket belongs to the Ohio Valley Champions – the Murray State Racers!
