NASHVILLE – The Ohio Valley Conference released its 2024-25 men’s and women’s basketball conference schedules on Tuesday morning.
For the second straight year, the league membership includes 11 teams: Eastern Illinois, Lindenwood, Little Rock, Morehead State, Southeast Missouri, SIUE, Southern Indiana, Tennessee State, Tennessee Tech, UT Martin, and Western Illinois.
This year, the conference schedule switches to a true round-robin slate of 20 games, up from 18 games last season. The OVC previously had a 20-game league schedule from 2005-06 through 2007-08 and again in 2020-21.
The OVC slate will begin before Christmas (Dec. 17-21) and conclude on Saturday, March 1. The 2025 OVC Men’s and Women’s Basketball Tournament is set for March 5-8 at the Ford Center in Evansville, Indiana. This marks the eighth consecutive year the event will be held at this venue.
All conference games and home non-conference contests will be available on ESPN networks, with the majority of games broadcast on ESPN+. Additional linear exposures on ESPNU and ESPN2 will be announced at a later date.
TSU will release the non-conference portion of its men’s and women’s basketball schedules in the coming weeks. The OVC slate will include 10 matchups inside the Gentry Center for both the men’s and women’s teams. The Tigers will start conference play with a two-game road trip and will wrap up play with a two-game home stand.
