The Murray State Racers won for the 14th straight time on the road with an 88-79 win Monday over the Lipscomb Bisons at Allen Arena in Nashville, Tenn.
MSU upped their mark to 5-1 and came away with a win in their first appearance at LU.
In the Racers' first game away from home this season, MSU added to their 13-0 road mark in the 2011-12 season which was a first in 87 seasons of the program.
Isaiah Canaan led three Racers with 32 points with his second-straight 30-point game. Ed Daniel scored his fourth straight double-double with 20 points and a career-high 18 rebounds and five blocked shots. Stacy Wilson added 21 points to mark the first time for MSU to have three players with 20 points since 1997.
Coming out of the half trailing 40-39, MSU saw LU start the second half with a 6-2 run to fall behind 46-41 with 18:00 remaining.
MSU dug in on a night when the play was physical and produced with Daniel swatting his fifth shot of the game that lead to a Canaan fast break basket. After a LU miss, Wilson fed Canaan who drilled his fourth three-pointer of the game and followed by a pair of Daniel free throws. When the dust settled at the 13:41 mark, MSU had a 14-2 run and led 55-49.
LU cut the lead to two with 9:15 left on a Carter Sanderson three, but Wilson answered with a three and MSU led 65-60 at the 8:43 mark.
MSU broke to their largest lead of the night 73-64 at 6:33 when Dexter Fields made a pair of layups, the second off of a Daniel steal. MSU pushed to a 12-point lead (76-64) on another Wilson three with 5:02 remaining.
Lipscomb got as close as four points with 1:51 left, but never got closer.
The Racers won the battle of the boards 47-37 and held LU to 39 percent shooting, while making 48 percent of their own shots. MSU was 21-of-30 from the three-point line for 35 percent, while they held the Bisons to 27 percent on 6-of-22 shots. MSU made 70 percent from the free throw line, including 9-of-11 in the final two minutes.
The first half saw the Racers trail early 14-10, before they rallied to lead 19-16 at the 11:53 mark. Wilson hit a three, followed by two from Fields. MSU erased a five-point deficit to lead again 37-33 with 2:45 left on a Canaan three. LU finished the half on a 5-0 run to lead 40-39 at the break.
