OTHER OVC TOURNAMENT NOTES FOR RACER FANS
-- The host hotel for the Racers in Nashville will once again be the Millennium Maxwell House. Racer fans may call 1-800-457-4460 or 615-259-4343 and ask for the $88 rate.
-- Murray State students will get the chance to attend the Racers' first-round Ohio Valley Conference Tournament home game on Tuesday, March 2, for free. The first 500 MSU students at the March 2 game will receive free admission to the game, rather than have to pay the OVC-mandated admission cost charged to all fans. In a joint effort, MSU president Dr. King Alexander and the athletics department are purchasing the 500 tickets from the OVC to give to the students.
