2017 OVC Men's & Women's Basketball Championship

The Ohio Valley Conference Men's and Women's Basketball Tournaments presented by VistitMyrtleBeach.com, returned to the Nashville Municipal Auditorium on March 1-4, 2017.

The Belmont women's team won its second-straight OVC Tournament Championship while the Jacksonville State Gamecocks men's team won its first OVC crown to punch its first-ever appearance in the Division I Men's Basketball Championship.

The combined men's and women's championship have been held at Municipal Auditorium 12 times: 1994, 1995, 1996, 2004, 2008, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016 and 2017). The men also held its championship at the venue in 1989. Prior to the tournament being at the end of the season, the 1967 men's tournament was also held at Municipal Auditorium in December of that year.

The move to Municipal Auditorium keeps the championships in Nashville, a place it will have been held 23 times in the last 24 years. The only year the tournament have not been held in Nashville during that stretch was 2002.

Future OVC Basketball Tournament dates include February 28 - March 3, 2018, March 6-9, 2019 and March 4-7, 2020.
