Ohio Valley championship
March 5 at Nashville Municipal Auditorium in Nashville, TN
ESPN
That's about as impressive as it gets for a lower-seeded team in a conference tournament. No. 8 seed Austin Peay shot 51 percent (16-of-31) from three-point range, including hitting 9-of-14 in the second half, and claimed its fourth tournament victory in as many days, 83-73 to win the OVC title.
Austin Peay, which came into the tournament with a 14-17 record, then defeated the Nos. 1, 2, 4 and 5 seeds, now heads into the NCAA Tournament as a probable No. 16 seed and possible first-four participant, but also as a very dangerous team.
Freshman Jared Savage hit eight of his 14 three-point attempts to lead the Governors.
