I Box Score (PDF)
The Murray State Racers dropped a 72-51 loss Sunday to the Dayton Flyers at UD Arena in Dayton, Ohio.
MSU put three in double-figure scoring with Cameron Payne getting 13 points. T.J. Sapp added 12 while Jarvis Williams had 10.
The Racers (5-7) jumped out to an 8-2 lead early on six points by Jonathan Fairell and led 11-6 after C.J. Ford made a steal and layup at the 13:41 mark. Sapp hit his first shot coming off the bench at the 12:22 mark and MSU led the Flyers 14-10.
After starting the game 6-of-13 from the field, the Racers found it difficult making shots going 3-of-15 and fell behind UD 33-21 with 1:10 left in the half.
Sapp gave the Racers a big lift with a pair of baskets in the final 12 seconds. He got a screen and scored on an inbounds pass from Jeffery Moss and then picked off a pass with time running out and went the length of the floor and scored a layup at the buzzer to cut Dayton's lead to 33-25 at the half.
In the second half, MSU got a Sapp runner and a Williams post up basket as the Racers got back in the game down 42-36 with 14:14 remaining. But UD put together a 12-3 run to grab a 54-39 lead with 6:51 left and the Racers never got any closer than 11 the rest of the way.
The Racers begin Ohio Valley Conference play this week with a pair of home games with Southeast Missouri and UT Martin. Thursday the Racers host the Redhawks at the CFSB Center at 7 p.m. and Sunday face the Skyhawks in a 2 p.m. tip. All MSU games are heard over the air on WFGE Froggy 103.7 FM and also online at Froggy103.com and GoRacers.com. The Sunday game will be aired on television by the CBS Sports Network.
