Justin Seymour tweets case for Murray State’s inclusion in NCAA Tournament

justin-seymourTaylor Barnette hit an improbable three-pointer with three seconds remaining in Saturday’s Ohio Valley Conference tournament championship game to give Belmont the victory and an automatic berth in the NCAA Tournament. The team on the losing end, Murray State, is forced to wait until Selection Sunday to see if they will be part of the big dance as well.

The Racers are 27-5 and went a perfect 16-0 in conference play during the regular season. However, Saturday’s loss could be the one that ends their season.

Justin Seymour is among those who wants Murray State to have a chance to prove themselves in the tournament. On Sunday, the sophomore took to his Twitter account to reflect on the loss to Belmont as well as speak to those who may be doubting their case for inclusion.

We’ve seen numerous instances of athletes using social media in ways that would make their coaches cringe. In this case, Justin Seymour delivered a well-written defense of his team’s season and accomplishments that shows the passion of collegiate athletics.

As Seymour stated, we have a week to wait to see if Murray State will be playing for a national championship. Based on the points he made, you can make the argument they deserve to be.
