Game Notes ♦ Live Stats ♦ Live Radio ♦ ESPN3
The Murray State Racers take their perfect 17-0 record up against the Tennessee Tech Golden Eagles Saturday at 5 p.m. in the CFSB Center in Murray, Ky., on ESPNU. The Racers just keep rolling along on the strength of outstanding shooting as they've won the field goal percentage stat in the last 11 straight games. MSU has also held nine opponents under 60 points this season.
The Racers are coming off a 66-55 home win Thursday over Jacksonville State and are 5-0 in the Ohio Valley Conference and hold solo first place coming into Saturday's game. Tech leads a group of three teams with only one loss. Tech hasn't played since last Saturday when they defeated Morehead State at home 66-55.
Heading into Saturday's games, Murray State is one of the remaining three unbeaten teams this season in NCAA D-I with a 17-0 mark. MSU joins Syracuse (Big East) and Baylor (Big-12) as teams who haven't lost a game yet.
The Racers are into their fifth consecutive week of being ranked in the Associated Press Poll. However, MSU is ranked higher in the ESPN/USA Today poll for a second straight week at no. 14, while they're no. 15 in the AP poll.
Either way, the rankings are an all-time high for MSU topping the no. 16 slot they had twice in the early 1950's. MSU is also the no. 1 team in the CollegeInsider.com Mid-Major Poll for the first in program history, the first for an OVC team.
The Racers' 17-0 start surpasses the 16-0 start by the 1935-36 team as the best in the program's 87 seasons. This season's team has now tied the 2009-10 team for the all-time win streak of 17.
New MSU head coach Steve Prohm is part of 52 first-year head coaches and 24 first-time head coaches in NCAA D-I. Prohm was named coach (May 23) after Billy Kennedy took the head coaching job at Texas A&M.
This week Prohm's Racers were named in The Sporting News as the Most Fun Teams To Watch along with Baylor, Kentucky, North Carolina and Missouri.
