APSU, Belmont lead preseason All-OVC selections

Several Nashville-area players were selected to the preseason Ohio Valley Conference team, and Austin Peay’s Terry Taylor was named the conference’s preseason Player of the Year for the second year in a row, making him the first player in Governors history to do so.

Taylor averaged 21.8 points and 11 rebounds per game last season — the first Govs player to average 20 points and 10 rebounds since 1978. He shot 55 percent from the field and was the only player in the conference last season to average more than one block (1.3) and one steal (1.3) per game.
