Murray State Head Coach Billy Kennedy is will soon gain his 100th career win as MSU coach and 200th of his career. He is now 88-48 (.647) in his fifth season with the Racers and 192-174 (.524) in his 13th season which also includes stops at Centenary and Southeastern Louisiana.
Last season, Kennedy the 2010 OVC Coach of the Year, led the Racers to a school and Ohio Valley Conference record 31 wins that included the first win for MSU in the NCAA Tournament since 1988 when they took down Vanderbilt in the first round in San Jose, Calif.
The Racers will be mighty glad to play in front of the home fans next Wednesday (Dec. 15) when they return to play the Bethel Wildcats in their first home game since Nov. 20. MSU will be looking to extend their 21-game home winning streak that started Feb. 23, 2009 with a win over UT Martin.
After MSU plays Bethel, they hook up with Western Kentucky at home Dec. 18 in what will be the 148th meeting in the series that started in 1932.
