Morehead State’s Faried Tabbed as Preseason Player of the Year: The 2009-10 All-OVC Preseason Men’s Basketball team was
headlined by Morehead State junior center Kenneth Faried. Faried is coming off a season where he was named OVC Defensive
Player of the Year and OVC Tournament MVP. Overall six different schools were represented on the team with Murray State’s three
selections leading the way. Eastern Illinois and Morehead State each had two selections while Austin Peay, Eastern Kentucky and
Tennessee State had one player apiece on the squad. The team features just one player (Faried) who was a first-team All-OVC
selection last season. The team does have three second-team All-OVC picks from 2008-09 and two players who were on last
season’s All-Newcomer Team. Faried made a splash last season being named the Conference’s first OVC Defensive Player of the
Year after ranking third nationally in rebounding (13.0/game), 52nd nationally in blocked shots (1.9/game) and 69th nationally in
steals (1.9/game). Faried also added 13.9 points per game and connected on 55.6 percent of his field goal attempts (36th nationally).
The 6-8 native of Newark, N.J. also tallied 25 double-doubles, which was the second most nationally, trailing only National Player of
the Year Blake Griffin (29). Austin Peay’s Wesley Channels, Eastern Illinois’ Romain Martin and Murray State’s Danero Thomas were
each second-team All-OVC picks last season and are each on the preseason team this year. Murray State’s Ivan Aska and Isacc
Miles were two of the five All-OVC Newcomer selections in 2008-09 who are also on this year’s All-OVC preseason squad. The
Preseason All-OVC team is rounded out by Tennessee State’s Darius Cox, Eastern Illinois’ Tyler Laser, Morehead State’s Maze
Stallworth and Eastern Kentucky’s Justin Stommes.
OVC Scores First NCAA Tournament Win in 20 Years; Places Three Teams in Postseason in 2008-09: With its 58-43 win over
Alabama State in the NCAA Tournament Opening Round game in Dayton last March, Morehead State snapped a 19-year losing streak
in the NCAA Tournament for teams from the Ohio Valley Conference. It marked the first NCAA Tournament victory since Middle
Tennessee State beat Florida State 97-83 in Nashville in 1989. The Eagles were then defeated by No. 1 overall seed Louisville in the
first round. The year also marked the first time since 1987 (when Austin Peay and Middle Tennessee were in the NCAA Tournament
and Akron was in the NIT) that three OVC schools had participated in the postseason in the same year. In addition to Morehead State
playing in the NCAA Tournament, UT Martin was in the NIT and Austin Peay played in the inaugural CollegeInsider.com Tournament.
OVC Players in the Pros: There are three former OVC players on NBA rosters. Those three players are Austin Peay’s Trenton Hassell
(New Jersey Nets), Murray State’s James Singleton (Dallas Mavericks) and UT Martin’s Lester Hudson (Memphis Grizzlies). Hassel
is in his ninth season in the NBA and third with the Nets. He also played with the Chicago Bulls (who drafted him 30th overall in the
2001 Draft and where he played two seasons), Minnesota Timberwolves (four seasons) and Dallas Mavericks (37 games in 2007-
08). During his 592-game career he has averaged 5.9 points, 2.8 rebounds and 1.8 assists per game while hitting 44.7 percent of his
field goal attempts. After being undrafted out of college (2003), Singleton played overseas before being signed by the Los Angeles
Clippers before the 2005-06 season and played two seasons there before signing with Dallas in 2008-09. In his 174-game career,
Singleton has averaged 3.5 points and 3.2 rebounds per game while hitting 49.3 percent of his shots. Hudson won the last two OVC
Player of the Year awards before being drafted by the Boston Celtics in the second round (pick No. 58) of the 2009 NBA Draft. Hudson
signed a one-year unguaranteed contact after his play in the NBA Summer League with the team. He appeared in 16 games with the
Celtics until being waived in January; that same week he was signed by his hometown Memphis Grizzlies. Another UT Martin product,
Jared Newson, is currently in the NBDL, playing for the Bakersfield Jam.
All 11 OVC Teams to Participate in ESPN BracketBusters For Fifth Straight Year: All 11 OVC schools will participate in the ESPN
BracketBusters series for the fifth straight season in 2009-10. Now it its eighth year, ESPN BracketBusters is an ESPN television
property that was tremendously successful with its first seven events in February of 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008 and 2009.
The event has allowed Division I conferences to participate in a cutting-edge format that involves “wild card” pairings from the pool of
participating teams, with half of the ESPNU BracketBusters teams pre-designated as “home” and the remaining half as “road” teams.
OVC schools are 16-29 all-time in the event, including a 3-7 mark a season ago. Austin Peay, Eastern Illinois, Eastern Kentucky,
Jacksonville State and Murray State will all be home teams in the series this year while Morehead State, Southeast Missouri, SIU
Edwardsville, Tennessee State, Tennessee Tech and UT Martin will all go on the road. The 2010 matchups will be announced on Feb.
1, 2010.
Replay Systems for OVC Basketball Venues Enter Year Three: On Dec. 21, 2007, the Ohio Valley Conference mandated the use of
courtside replay systems at all OVC basketball venues. The systems were put into place in January 2008 and have been used since.
The systems are used in situations that are outlined by NCAA rules.
SIU Edwardsville Continues Reclassification Process to Division I: On July 1, 2008 Southern Illinois University Edwardsville be-
came the 11th member of the Ohio Valley Conference. SIU Edwardsville, who is in the reclassification process to Division I, will begin
regular season competition in the OVC during the 2011-12 academic year and will be eligible for postseason competition in 2012-13.
The exception is the SIUE softball program, which will be eligible for both regular season and tournament competition in 2010-11; the
softball program was the department’s women’s sport designee to be fast-tracked to Division I, making it eligible to compete at
Division I prior to other SIUE sports. SIUE is located in Edwardsville, Ill., which is just northeast of St. Louis (the 18th largest media
market in the United States.
OVCSports.TV: For the fourth consecutive year, fans can watch nearly every Conference matchup and all non-conference home
contests this season at OVCSports.TV. The venture with JumpTV Sports allows fans to access live and on-demand streaming video

UT MARTIN SKYHAWKS (2-16, 0-9)
Home: 2-5, Away: 0-11, Neutral: 0-0
Team Notes
UT Martin lost a pair of games last week and fell to 2-16 overall and 0-9 in
OVC play this season...The Skyhawks have lost seven in a row and 14 of its
last 15 games and is still searching for its first victory over a Division I team
this season...In a 77-63 loss at Southeast Missouri, Reuben Clayton led
UTM with 19 points, including hitting 8-of-11 from the free throw
line...Marquis Weddle hit 3-of-6 3-pointers and netted 15 points while
Benzor Simmons had 12 points...Points were a little harder to come by in
a 60-46 loss at Eastern Illinois...Freshman Ron Spencer was the only
Skyhawk in double figures, as he hit on 4-of-8 field goals to tally 10
points...Spencer also had five rebounds and four blocked shots in 24 min-
utes of action...For the game UT Martin shot just 27 percent from the field
and 17.4 percent (4-of-23) from 3-point range...On the season UTM is 0-11
on the road but the good teams for the Skyhawks is that their next five
games are all at home...That includes a Monday contest with future OVC
foe SIU Edwardsville and a Saturday ESPNU contest against league-leader
Murray State on Saturday.
