I just have to laugh at something - heavy reported the MEN's OVC and Summit champs and the correct news that undefeated in-conference Murray State went down.

I was on the women's side (as you wished) and didn't remember who beat Tennessee Martin but I knew they were undefeated in conference mostly because they played Arizona and I track RU and UofA opponents game by game.

So interesting that the same team won the Summit (M/W) and in both the Men and Women's tournament in the OVC an undefeated in-conference team was defeated.
