[QUOTE="IlliniFaninHoosierLand, post: 1531800, member: 85743"] EIU's season ends in the OVC Tournament Quarterfinals as 3 seed Austin Peay dominates the Panthers in a 76-65 victory that was nowhere near as close as the final score indicates. Austin Peay stormed out to a 17-0 lead 6 minutes into the game, leading 42-19 at half, and led by as many as 26 points in the game. EIU going 4-22 from behind the 3-point arc didn't help much either. The Panthers were led in scoring by George Dixon with 15 points as 5 Panthers scored in double figures though many of those points were scored in garbage time in the 2nd half. EIU finishes the season 17-15 overall and actually won their last 5 games of the season before the defeat tonight. The Panthers do have 5 seniors that they will be losing but only 2 of them played any meaningful minutes throughout the season. They will be one of the more experienced teams in the OVC next season (assuming there are no transfers out) with 7 seniors on next year's team, including their top 3 leading scorers from this season. Austin Peay moves on to play Murray State tomorrow night. [/QUOTE]
