When I say the OVC Tournament (Ohio Valley Conference) what is the first thing that comes to mind? It better be ‘awesome’ or you happen to be in the wrong place. I don’t care — neither should you for that matter — that the OVC Tournament doesn’t have the prestige of some of the power conference tournaments. Sure, it is a one-bid league, but that makes each game in the tournament matter even more.
Here is what I am trying to say. Even if you are a casual fan or usually only care about ‘name’ teams, tournaments like the one the OVC puts on is always fun. So be entertained.
Now that you are (maybe) pumped for the OVC Tournament, you would probably like to know how you can watch it.
