Key Players
G Travis Harper II, Tennessee State (SR)
2025-26 League Stats: 18.6 ppg; .91 FT%; .433 3PT%
Harper is the league’s second leading scorer, top free throw shooter and three-point marksman. He and teammate Aaron Nkrumah are the OVC’s best duo, but Harper is the Tigers’ emotional leader. His ability to elevate to hit long distance threes and get to the free throw line makes him an extremely difficult to guard. The 6’6 wing is a matchup nightmare.
G Aaron Nkrumah, Tennessee State (SR)
2025-26 League Stats: 18.2 ppg; 5.6 rebounds; 2.7 steals per game
Nkrumah is the OVC’s third leading scorer and is listed among the league leaders in eight other statistical categories. Nkrumah forces the action on each end of the floor. His ability to score in traffic and from distance, coupled with his defensive pressure makes Nkrumah a 94-toot threat.
G Luke Almodovar, Southeast Missouri (JR)
2025-2026 League Stats: 14.5 ppg; 2.1 Threes Per Game;
Almodovar is one of the OVC’s streakiest players. He can go off for 30, finish with electric dunks, is one of the league’s top three-point shooters and is a huge motivator for the Redhawks.
