The OVC Tournament

Morehead State men’s basketball has reached the win or go home portion of its schedule. The Eagles, who fi nished second in the Ohio Valley Conference race, earned one of two double-byes and begin play in the 2011 OVC Tournament in Friday’s semifi nal game.

MSU will play the winner of the quarterfi nal game between #3 Austin Peay (which received a single bye into the quarterfi nals) and the fi rst round matchup of #6 Eastern Kentucky or #7 Southeast Missouri. The Eagles play in Friday’s second semifi nal, a 10 p.m. Eastern tip-off on ESPNU.

Morehead State (22-9; 13-5) split the regular season with two of the three of their potential semifi nal opponents. Austin Peay beat MSU in overtime in Clarksville before losing at Morehead. Eastern Kentucky stole a win in Morehead, but the Eagles returned the favor in Richmond, winning in overtime. MSU swept SEMO this season. Murray State (#1), Tennessee Tech (#4), Tennessee State (#5) and UT Martin (#8) also qualifi ed for the tournament and are all potential championship matchups for the Eagles, should they win Friday. A loss most likely relegates MSU to one of the three other postseason tournaments, the NIT, CBI or CIT.

Morehead State won 10 of its fi nal 11 games, losing only to top-seeded Murray State on the Racers’ home fl oor. The Eagles won those games by an average of 9.9 points, and were led by OVC Player of the Year senior Kenneth Faried with 17.6 points per game and 14.3 rebounds per game and fellow senior Demonte Harper’s 15.4 points per game. Junior Terrance Hill has been a scoring threat and defensive stopper during that span as well, tallying double digits in seven of the 11 games.

The Eagles are 5-3 in the OVC Tournament under coach Donnie Tyndall, with all fi ve wins coming in the previous two years, both of which led to an appearance in the fi nals.

HIGH WATER MARK

MSU has a notable OVC Tournament record. The Eagles hold the mark for most points in a game and it’s a record that’s stood for 55 years. In 1955, MSU defeated former OVC member Middle Tennessee State 123-68.

TOURNEY TIME

Morehead State is 24-37 all-time in the OVC Tournament, but under Tyndall the Eagles are a positive 5-3. MSU has won OVC Tournament titles in 1983, 1984 and 2009.

SEEDING THE FIELDS

Morehead State has been the No. 2 seed four times since seeding began in 1975. The Eagles are 6-3 as the second seed, winning the 1983 championship and losing in the semifi nals in 2002 and 2003. MSU went 2-1 as the two seed last year.

SEMIFINAL SORROWS

Morehead State has struggled in the OVC Tournament semifi nals. The Eagles are 5-17 in the round prior to the championship. Prior to the 2009 win over UT Martin, MSU had not won a semifi nal game since 1984 (also the last time before last year the Eagles won a title). Dating back to the beginning of the OVC tourney in the 1940s, it took Morehead seven tries before it won its fi rst semifi nal.

FINAL EXAMS

On the fl ip side, in the fi ve times Morehead State has gotten past the semifi nals, the Eagles have won three championships. MSU is 3-2 all-time in OVC Tournament fi nals, having beaten Austin Peay (2009), Youngstown State (1984), Akron (1983) and losing to Murray State (2010) and Western Kentucky (1976). Three of the Eagles’ fi ve title-game appearances have been against former OVC schools.

ALL-TOURNAMENT DROUGHT

When Kenneth Faried and Demonte Harper each were named to the OVC All-Tournament team in 2009, it broke a slump of 15 years. MSU’s last All-Tournament selection prior to the 2009 tournament year came at the 1994 tournament when Tyrone Boardley was named to the team. Last year Faried and Maze Stallworth were named All-Tournament.

NOT MANY MUNICIPAL WINS

In the six years the OVC Tournament has been played at Municipal Auditorium, MSU has a 1-5 record in the building. That lone win came in the 1994 tournament against Eastern Kentucky. The Eagles got a win in the 2004 tournament, which was at Municipal, but that win came in the fi rst round and was played at campus home sites.

ANYTHING YOU CAN DO I CAN DO BETTER

Morehead State’s men’s basketball team has had company in the win department all season long and that won’t change in Nashville. The Morehead State women, the No. 3 seed, will play the Jacksonville State/Tennessee State in Thursday’s quarterfi nals. If the MSU women win Thursday, it will be the sixth time in school history that both teams have advanced to the semifi nals. It also happened in 1982, 1983, 1984, 2002 and last season. Only one of those years resulted in a dual trip to the fi nals, 1983.

PRESEASON AWARDS PLAY OUT

Kenneth Faried and Demonte Harper both earned preseason all-conference nods and Faried was named the 2010-11 OVC Preseason Player of the Year. All of those predictions came to fruition as both players were honored Tuesday by the OVC. Both Faried and Harper were named First Team All-Conference and Faried earned the Player of the Year and Defensive Player of the Year.

40 BOARDS EQUALS WINS IN HOARDS

Under Donnie Tyndall, the Eagles have had 37 games in which they have had 40 or more rebounds in a game. In those games, the Eagles hold a 27-9 mark. Last season the Eagles were 12-1 when pulling down 40 caroms and this year MSU is 7-4 in those games.

Tyndall Tidbits

MSU has improved steadily each year under Tyndall’s tutelage. His fi rst team was 12-18 and his second improved to 15-15. In 2008-09, the Eagles were 20-16 and last year he was 24-11.

Tyndall is only the third MSU coach to take an Eagle team to the NCAA Tournament.

Tyndall is the winningest coach in school history after his fi rst fi ve years. He surpassed Laughlin (81 wins) for best start in his fi rst fi ve years.

He is also only the third MSU coach to lead his team to 20 wins, and he is the quickest of those three coaches to post a 20-win season, having done it in three years. He also is the fi rst MSU coach to have back-to-back 20-win seasons. Tyndall and Morehead State Director of Athletics Brian Hutchinson made an agreement that MSU would be competing for a championship in Tyndall’s fourth season. Tyndall exceeded expectations by winning the OVC title in his third year.

Tyndall joined former MSU coach Bobby Laughlin in reaching the NCAA Tournament within three years. In four years as a head coach, Tyndall has only had one losing season, his fi rst with Morehead State. His second season with MSU was a .500 year and the past two years at MSU were 20-win seasons. In his fi rst year as a head coach (at St. Catharine) he had 30 wins.

Tyndall is 60-29 in Ohio Valley Conference games since being named MSU head coach. His teams have posted 12-win conference seasons in four of his fi ve years. He has been tough to beat at Johnson Arena. Tyndall is 60-15 at home as head coach at Morehead State. Tyndall was a Top 20 fi nalist in the voting for Lexington Herald-Leader’s Kentucky Sportsman of the Year.

Donnie Tyndall, the 2007-08 Ohio Valley Conference Coach of the Year, is in his fi fth season as men’s head basketball coach at Morehead State University.

Under Tyndall’s guidance, the Eagles have improved each season, with back-to-back postseason appearances and Morehead State’s fi rst OVC Tournament title and NCAA bid since 1984. In returning the Eagles to prominence, Tyndall led MSU over Alabama State in the NCAA Tournament Opening Round, the fi rst NCAA Tournament win for an OVC team since 1989.

Tyndall’s 2009-10 team posted the second most wins in school history with 24, fi nishing 24-11 overall. MSU also broke the school’s record for OVC win total with 15, fi nishing 15-3 in league play. The Eagles advanced to the OVC title game for the second straight year and fi nished the season by playing in the College Basketball Invitational, during which MSU defeated Colorado State. Tyndall is the fi rst coach in MSU history to have back-to-back 20-win seasons and just the second coach in school history to win two postseason games.

The 2008-09 Eagles fi nished with a 20-16 overall record, the fi rst time since 2002-03 that a Morehead State team has reached 20 wins. Tyndall is only the third coach in school history to have a 20-win season, and he is the only coach to accomplish the feat in fewer than four years.

Tyndall’s fi rst Morehead State team more than tripled the win total from the previous year. The 2006-07 Eagles were picked 11th in the Ohio Valley Conference but fi nished seventh and advanced to the conference tournament for the fi rst time in three seasons.

The 2007-08 team continued the steady progress by picking up 15 wins and fi nishing third in the conference standings even though it was picked 10th in the preseason league rankings. The season was highlighted by a 10-0 start in Johnson Arena. That start matched the best start at home in school history.

Tyndall has led an impressive turnaround in the last four years, so good that it ranks as the top turnaround in Division I men’s basketball. The Eagles’ RPI (Ratings Percentage Index) jumped a whopping 237 spots, from 321, which was where MSU was rated the year before Tyndall’s arrival, to 84th last season.

Well respected both in the Morehead community and within the college coaching ranks, Tyndall was named as one of the Top 10 “Under the Radar” coaches by Athlon Sports this year. He also served as the co-chair for the MSU Capital Campaign in 2009 and was a Top 20 fi nalist in the voting for Lexington Herald-Leader’s Kentucky Sportsman of the Year in 2009.

An MSU alumnus who was a basketball letterwinner, he is the 12th head coach in the history of the Eagle program. He returned to his alma mater from the position of associate head coach at Middle Tennessee State University where he had served for four years.

A NCAA Division I assistant coach for nearly 10 years, the 40-year-old Tyndall spent one season as associate head coach at the University of Idaho. Prior to that, he was an assistant coach for four seasons at Louisiana State University. In 1996-97, Tyndall served as head coach at St. Catharine College in Springfi eld, Ky., for a season. After graduating from MSU, he spent two seasons as an assistant coach at Iowa Central Community College in Fort Dodge, Iowa.

At MTSU, Tyndall teamed with head coach Kermit Davis to lead the Blue Raiders to four consecutive winning seasons, averaging 17 wins a campaign. As recruiting coordinator, he directed MTSU recruiting eff orts that resulted in two classes being ranked in the Top 25 nationally. “Hoop Scoop” ranked the 2003 class 23rd, and the 2004 class was ranked 11th nationally. Each class was selected as the number one class in the Sun Belt Conference by that basketball publication.

While he was at Idaho, the Vandals’ 2002 recruiting class was ranked as high as 15th nationally. Tyndall also served as scouting coordinator. As the individual in charge of academic progress, he helped the team earn a cumulative grade point average of 2.6 (on a 4.0 scale), the best at the school in more than a decade.

During his tenure on John Brady’s staff at LSU, Tyndall helped recruit three classes that were ranked among the Top 25 nationally. In 2000, LSU won the SEC and advanced to the Sweet 16. Three of the recruited student-athletes went on to play in the NBA, fi ve earned All-Southeast Conference honors, and fi ve were named Academic All-SEC. As the Tigers’ academic coordinator, he helped improve the basketball team’s grade point average from 1.7 in 1996 to 2.65 in 2001.

During his one season as head coach at St. Catharine, he led the team to a school-record 30-5 mark and to the National Junior College Athletic Association National Tournament for the fi rst time in school history. Tyndall was named the Kentucky-Tennessee Junior College Coach of the Year and was also named the top coach in Region VII. Illustrating his emphasis on academic achievement, the team’s grade point average improved from 1.81 to 2.64, and all six of the sophomores on the squad earned associate degrees.

A native of Grand Rapids, Mich., Tyndall played at Northview High School, then one season at Iowa Central (1989-90). He was a member of Eagle teams for three seasons (1990-93). Tyndall played with Athletes in Action after completing his career at MSU. He earned a bachelor’s degree from MSU (1993) and a master’s degree from LSU.

THE JERSEY LORE

Kenneth Faried, along with MSU women’s basketball standout Chynna Bozeman, entered Eagle lore when his jersey was retired on senior day by Morehead State athletics. An honor reserved for leading scorers and All-Americans, Faried was named an AP Honorable Mention All-American after last season.

REBOUNDING THE RECORD BOOK

Now that he has the modern-era record, Faried is taking aim at the OVC and all-time NCAA rebounding marks. His career total of 1,607 ranks fi rst all-time in Division I for players whose careers began after 1973 (when freshman became eligible to play). He passed Tim Duncan for fi rst place on that list at Indiana State. He’s 15th on the all-time list currently, and if his average holds, he will fi nish at least 12th among ALL players and has a chance to crack the top 10. He also ranks second all-time in the OVC, having passed WKU’s Tom Marshall at ISU.

NATIONAL PLAYER OF THE WEEK AWARDS

The U.S. Basketball Writers Association and NetScouts Basketball selected Kenneth Faried as its Oscar Robertson National Player of the Week for games ending the week of Sunday, Jan. 30. As the Ohio Valley Conference Player of the Week, Faried was nominated for the weekly USBWA award. Faried averaged 17.7 points and 18 rebounds while leading the Eagles to three wins over then fi rst-place teams, including two key conference victories.

TYNDALL TALLIES THE VICTORIES

MSU bench boss Donnie Tyndall is the winningest coach in Morehead State history during his fi rst fi ve years (93 wins). This surpassed Bobby Laughlin’s 81 wins for best start in his fi rst fi ve years. Tyndall entered the year with 71 wins and now has his 93rd MSU win.

DANCING WITH THE STARS

Morehead State’s 2010-11 schedule features four teams that played in the 2010 NCAA men’s basketball tournament. Florida, Ohio State, Murray State and Northern Iowa were participants in last year’s Big Dance. Three of those teams; Ohio State, Murray State and UNI advanced to the second round and two of those teams, Ohio State and UNI played in the Sweet 16. Add in the four other postseason participants: Kent State (NIT), Eastern Kentucky (CBI), Indiana State (CBI) and College of Charleston (CBI) and it’s been a tough road for the Eagles this season. MSU is 5-6 in those games so far this season.

PLAYER OF THE WEEK OF ALL TIME

When Kenneth Faried was selected as the OVC Player of the Week the week ending Jan. 30, it marked the 12th time in his career he’s earned the award. He passed former UT Martin great Lester Hudson for the all-time most Player of the Week awards in the OVC. He now has won the award 15 total times

AND AGAIN

Faried also broke Hudson’s record for the most awards in a single season. Faried earned his eighth OVC Player of the Week award.

REBOUNDING MARGIN

MSU currently has a rebounding margin of +8.9, which leads the OVC. Through Monday’s NCAA rankings, the Eagles were fourth nationally in rebounding margin. MSU has been outrebounded just fi ve times this season -- in the losses at UNC Wilmington, Northern Iowa and the wins at Indiana State, Ball State and at Tennessee Tech. This has been a strong trend for Tyndall-coached teams. Last year MSU led the OVC and was sixth nationally in rebounding margin.

KENNETH CORRALS THE CAROMS

Faried has pulled down 442 caroms this season to bring his career total to 1,607. He ranks as the number two all-time Eagle glass cleaner. He became only the third MSU player to reach 1,000 career rebounds with his third board at Austin Peay last season. He entered his senior year 510 rebounds from being the all-time leader. Last year’s 456 boards was his best single season total (and the third best ever at MSU). Only Steve Hamilton, who is the career leader with 1,675, has had a single season with more than 500 rebounds at MSU.

IN CASE YOU WERE WONDERING...

Faried is 68 rebounds from catching Hamilton. At his current pace (14.3 RPG), Faried needs fi ve games to catch Hamilton. Those would all have to come in the postseason (counting the OVC Tournament).

DOUBLE YOUR PLEASURE, DOUBLE FARIED’S FUN

Kenneth Faried had 25 double-doubles last season which ranked him second in the nation and he has 24 this year, placing him fi rst. He now has 82 career double-doubles (seven as a freshman, 25 his sophomore year, 25 last season, 25 this year). He is now among the top fi ve all-time in the NCAA in total double-doubles and has a chance to tie or break Tim Duncan’s all-time record of 87. He passed Lew Alcindor (Kareem Abdul-Jabbar), Mel Counts, Jerry Lucas, Oscar Robertson, and Malik Rose.

No. Player Final Year Years Played Double-Doubles

1. Tim Duncan, Wake Forest 1997 4 87

2. Ralph Sampson, Virginia 1983 4 84

3. Derrick Coleman, Syracuse 1990 4 83

5. Kenneth Faried, Morehead State 2011 4 82

6. Malik Rose, Drexel 1996 4 80

7. Oscar Robertson, Cincinnati 1960 3 79

DOUBLE-DOUBLE U

Faried’s 25 double-doubles are fi rst in the nation, but it helps Morehead State boast another top ranking, this one unique. Combine his total with MSU women’s basketball sophomore Ashar Harris, who has 20 double-doubles and ranks second in the country, and you get the best double-double athletic program in the country. No other school has a men’s player and a women’s player ranked in the top three of the double-doubles category.

D-D-D-DE-FENSE

Morehead State has been impressive defensively, allowing more than 70 points by an opponent just three times, the overtime game at Austin Peay, versus Binghamton and at Jacksonville State. It might have been most eye-popping against Florida and Ohio State. MSU held two top-10 teams under 65 points in back-to-back games, putting itself in a position to win both contests. MSU ranks second in the OVC and 31st nationally in scoring defense, allowing just 61.7 points per game.

60-POINT MEN

Fourteen times this season the MSU defense has been so tenacious the Eagles have held their opponents under 60 points. Even more impressively, MSU has held fi ve of those opponents under 50. Asbury, UT Martin, and College of Charleston were all stuck on 49, Ball State scored 48 and EIU scored just 47.

SLAM GOODMAN

Sam Goodman, who joined the team last year as a transfer, has used his athleticism to make an impact at both ends of the court. The senior is fourth on the team in scoring with 8.5 points per game, ranking 11th in the OVC in fi eld goal percentage at 47.7 percent. Goodman also showed senior leadership before the Ball State game, requesting to not start, but instead provide a spark off the bench, and since then MSU has lost just once. Eagle fans also appreciate Goodman’s highlight-reel dunking ability, which has TWICE earned him a spot on Sportscenter’s Top Plays, once following the Ohio State game and once after the Eastern Illinois home game.
