Clarksville, TN – The Ohio Valley Conference’s best rivalry will take center stage in front of a televised audience, January 7th, 2012, when Murray State visits Austin Peay in Dave Aaron Arena.
That 7:00pm contest will be one of two appearances the Govs are assured on ESPNU this winter.
That announcement came Wednesday by the OVC office. The Govs, in fact, will be part of the league’s first televised weekend as well as they travel to Morehead State for an 11:00am, December 31st, New Year’s Eve contest.
APSU also could be a candidate for other televised games. For the second year in a row, the OVC ESPNU slate will include “Wild Card” selections that will feature teams selected 21 days before the contest. This season’s wild card dates are January 21st, February 2nd and February 23rd; the wild card format helps insure the most competitive games featuring the teams at the top of the standings are selected for telecast.The Governors made four appearances on ESPNU a year ago, including their road contest at Murray State and their home game with Tennessee Tech-a Wild Card selection. In addition, APSU had its Sears BracketBuster game at Fairfield also televised by ESPNU.
