Morehead State, which is 21-12 overall and finished 11-5 in Ohio Valley Conference play, has earned its fifth postseason appearance in the past eight seasons. The Eagles played in the 2009 and 2011 NCAA Tournaments, in addition to the 2010 and 2014 CBI.
For just the third in program history, the Eagles have won two postseason games in one season. MSU also won two postseason games in 1956 and 1961. In both of those seasons, they won an NCAA Regional quarterfinal game and then a Regional third place game.
Morehead State is looking to win three games in one postseason for the first time in program history.
The Eagles were the only road team to win in the first round of the CBI and the win marked their first postseason victory since they upset Louisville in the first round of the NCAA Tournament in 2011.
MSU has recorded its seventh 20-win season in program history. Five of those 20-win campaigns have come in the last eight years and head coach Sean Woods has led MSU to 20-plus wins twice in four years.
With 21 wins on the year, the Eagles have the most victories since they finished the 2010-11 season at 25-10.
The winner of the game between Ohio and Morehead State will face the winner of Vermont and Nevada in the CBI championship series. The championship series will consist of a best-of-three series and will air live on ESPNU. The games will take place on March 28, March 30, and April 1.
