OVC Basketball Update

Conference play is underway in the Ohio Valley Conference.  Ken Pomeroy believes that Eastern Kentucky and Belmont have separated themselves from the pack, and are very evenly matched in the battle for the OVC title.  Meanwhile, Murray has a good chance to finish on top of a very weak Western Division.  The Racers got off to a good start on Thursday, beating SEMO in Murray by the score of 82-75.
