12/15/2011 10:23:00 AM | Women's Basketball
The Murray State women's basketball team has found itself ranked in the top-20 in three NCAA statistical categories, and is just one of two schools to be ranked in all three. The Racers join women's basketball powerhouse Connecticut in the top-20 in three-point field goals made, steals and turnover margin.
MSU's high pressure style of play and defensive intensity, despite a heavy road schedule, has led the Racers to be ranked No. 16 is steals per game, with 13.4 per outing and No. 19 in turnover margin, forcing 7.22 more turnovers per game. UConn is ranked 12th in steals (14.1) and fifth (9.22) in turnover margin.
Both teams are also strong three-point shooting teams making over seven triples per game. The Huskies are No. 15, with 7.7 per outing, while the Racers are ranked No. 13 (7.9).
The Racers will next be in action Dec. 19-20 at the Magnolia Classic hosted by Mississippi in Oxford, Miss. MSU will first face the host Rebels (Dec. 19) and then Cleveland State (Dec. 20), with both games slated to start at 5 p.m. at Tad Smith Coliseum.
