The Racers earned the No. 1 seed after they navigated 18 games in the regular season and won their 22nd championship with a 14-4 record. MSU clinched a tie for the title last Thursday with a 70-62 win over visiting Morehead State. The title was won outright last Saturday when they defeated Eastern Kentucky 66-56.
MSU enters the event with a three-game win streak in the OVC Tournament after taking the title in 2010. MSU's 60 all-time wins in the OVC Tournament is a league-best.
