65 Teams in 65 Days: No. 61 Morehead State
Morehead St Forward Kenneth Faried
Location: Morehead, Ky.
Nickname: Eagles
Conference: Ohio Valley
Last Yearโs Record: 20-16
ย
Why theyโll make it: After their surprising run through the OVC Tournament and good showing in the Big Dance, the Eagles appear to be ready to take over the conference this year.
With a future NBA player in Kenneth Faried returning, thereโs a reason to be excited about the upcoming season.
Faried is the kind of talent you donโt often see at the low-major level and with talented guards, Maze Stallworth and Demonte Harper, surrounding him, the Eagles are clearly the team to beat in the OVC.
Why they wonโt make it: As sure as the sun will come up, Murray State will challenge for the OVC crown. The Racers finished second in the league last season, and their top three scorers are back.
Theyโll continue to be a great defensive team and will be the only team that can contend with Faried and the Eagles on the boards. If any team in the OVC is going to challenge Morehead St, itโs Murray State.
