Odds to win the Ohio Valley Conference tournament

The Ohio Valley Conference is led by two teams at the top with the Belmont Bruins and Murray State Racers finishing at 15-3 in conference play. Belmont started the OVC season 5-3 but rattled off 10 wins in a row for the top seed and betting favorite to win the conference tournament.

Belmont and Murray State are far more likely to win the conference according to the oddsmakers. These two split their season series with each earning a victory at home. Belmont is the highest scoring team in the Ohio Valley, averaging 80 points per game, while Murray State tops the conference on the defensive end, allowing 64.4 points per game to opponents.

Despite the Austin Peay Governors being just one game back in the final regular season standings and split the season series with the top two seeds, they are far behind Belmont and Murray State in odds to win the tournament. Austin Peay guard Terry Taylor is the conference’s leading scorer, averaging 21.4 points per game. He’ll get his shots up early and often, as his regular season totals show 50 more shots taken than the second-place person in field goal attempts.

Murray State won this tournament two years in a row, but this time the Racers will have to do it without Ja Morant.
