Brentwood, Tenn. – (ESPN CLARKSVILLE) For the fourth year in a row the Ohio Valley Conference will recognize men’s and women’s basketball legends from each of its member institutions during the OVC Basketball Championships. The legends will be recognized through signage, P.A. announcements and a game program feature story during the event.
With roots dating back to 1948, the OVC and its member institutions have produced many outstanding student-athletes who have earned numerous accolades and led their respective schools to success on the hardwood.
Last year, each OVC member institution identified both a male and female legend to be honored through signage and announcements at the 2017 and 2018 Championships. Last year the league selected six male student-athletes and six female student-athletes and this year the next group of 12 total legends will be honored.
This year’s OVC Basketball Championships will be held February 28 through March 3 at the Ford Center in Evansville, Indiana.
