Two-Minute Drill: Mitchell and Cleveland Earn Preseason All-OVC Honors

Guards Antonius Cleveland and Bri Mitchell represented Southeast Missouri men’s and women’s basketball teams as Preseason All-Ohio Valley Conference selections.

One of the top non-power five guards according to College Court Report, Antonius Cleveland started 25 of 26 games a year ago and led SEMO in scoring, rebounding, minutes played, steals and blocks. Cleveland finished among the top-10 OVC leaders in five statistical categories. He has put on 20 pounds since his freshman year and enters his senior season with over 1,000 points and 400 rebounds in his career. The men open their season tonight at 8 p.m. at the University of Illinois. The game will be televised on the Big Ten Network.

Bri Mitchell earned Second Team All-OVC accolades following her junior campaign last season. She played in 27 games, averaging 31.4 minutes per contest. Her 13.5 points per game was a team-high among active players. The Redhawks women’s basketball team was picked in preseason polls to finish fifth in the OVC in head coach Rekha Patterson’s second season at the helm.

The women tip off their season tonight as well. The Redhawks host the University of Cincinnati at 6:30 p.m. inside the Show Me Center. Tickets for women’s basketball home games are just five dollars.
