The Racers are 54-42 against current members of the Missouri Valley Conference. Still to come this season for the Racers is a pair of games against MVC teams: Home against Illinois State (Dec. 20) and at Southern Illinois (Dec. 22).

Sophomore Cameron Payne, the Ohio Valley Conference Preseason Player of the Year was named Player of the Week Monday in a vote of the league's sports information directors. He was 16-of-27 from the field in the Bethel and WKU games and totalled 14 assists and six steals. Payne is on the preseason watch lists for the Bob Cousy and Lou Henson awards. The Cousy Award identifies the best point guard in the nation, while the Henson Award goes to the best mid-major player. Payne is second in the OVC with 17.8 points per game and third with 5.0 assists per game. He's first in the OVC and sixth in the nation averaging three steals per game.
After leading the nation in field goal percentage a year ago, MSU's Jarvis Williams is fifth in the OVC and 27th nationally this week hitting 62 percent of his shots. He was 11-of-17 against WKU and scored 24 points. Williams is grabbing 8.0 rebounds per game and is fouth in the OVC and 92nd nationally.
Justin Seymour is among the top newcomers in the OVC. He came off the bench in the WKU game to score 10 points and dish out five assists in 24 minutes of playing time.
After the game at UE, the Racers come home next week to face Alcorn State (Dec. 17) and Illinois State (Dec. 20).
