Ohio Valley Conference 2018 Printable Bracket

The 2018 Ohio Valley Conference Tournament could be one of the most exciting mid-major clashes in the country, and we have your printable bracket for it.

There are many times when it comes to mid-major conference tournaments that you have one team that is clearly the favorite. Barring an unbelievable run by an underdog, that team is set up to dominate their way into March Madness. Every now and then, though, you have a tight race for that spot in the Big Dance. Thats is the case as it pertains to the 2018 Ohio Valley Conference Tournament.

While the conference is still top heavy, the two teams at the top should give fans quite a show in the tournament. The Murray State Racers and Belmont Bruins are two of the most formidable mid-major programs in the country this season. It was the former that landed the No. 1 seed in the Ohio Valley Conference Tournament, but the Bruins were just a single game behind them in the standings.

More importantly, though, both Murray State and Belmont finished at least three games clear of the third-place team, the Austin Peay Governors (the Racers were four games ahead). What’s more, both the Racers and Bruins won well over 20 games overall this season, Murray State going 24-5 and Belmont going 23-8.
