Staying put ... for now

It's a little after 6 p.m. Sunday and Austin Peay just beat Morehead State 56-55. Eastern Kentucky, meanwhile, is leading Tennessee State at halftime.

What does that mean? If the results of the EKU game hold, JSU and Tennessee Tech will remain tied for fifth in the OVC standings. If TSU comes back and wins, JSU, Tech and EKU will all be tied for fourth -- and the Gamecocks would have the early tiebreaker having beaten both teams earlier this year.

On the women's side, sophomore post Brittany Wiley suffered a sprained ligaments in her right knee when she fell in the SEMO game and is expected to be out one to two weeks. The JSU women are currently 10th in the OVC standings, one game out of the final OVC Tournament spot.
