For just the third time in program history and the first since 2010-11, Morehead State Men's Basketball has landed two players on the All-OVC First-Team. Second-year center Johni Broome and third-year point guard Ta'Lon Cooper are both First-Team members while Broome became the second-ever Eagle to be voted the OVC Defensive Player of the Year.
Morehead State junior guard Skyelar Potter has been voted as the OVC Newcomer of the week.
Potter, a transfer from Wright State from Bowling Green, Ky., earned his first-ever OVC weekly award, giving MSU four league honors this season (Johni Broome has three Freshman of the Week accolades). That is the most awards for the program in a single season since Kenneth Faried and Demonte Harper combined for nine in 2010-11.
Potter scored a career-high 22 points in the Eagles game at then No. 24 Clemson on Dec. 21. His point total, five three-pointers swished and 7-for-10 field goal percentage are the best for an individual opponent against Clemson this season.
