The Racers are 3-4 against current teams from the Colonial Athletic Association. The Tigers, like the Racers, went 13-3 in league play and finished second.

The Racers have scored a road win at Missouri State and a home win over Omaha, while Towson has won back-to-back road games at USC Upstate and at East Tennessee.
After coming home for their first game in almost a month, the Racers beat UNO for their 12th straight home win. MSU is 14-1 at home this season with the one loss coming to Middle Tennessee (Nov. 26).
The games at home this week mark the first post-season games for the Racers at home since 1983 when Wake Forest visited old Racer Arena.

MSU has 15 trips to the NCAA Tournament, seven to the NIT and now one to the CIT. The Racers are 4-3 in post-season games since 2010 which includes two wins in the NCAA's and two in the CIT.

Steve Prohm's first two teams went 31-2 in 2011-12 and 20-11 in 2012-13. In the last five seasons, the Racers are 126-37 (.773) and have averaged 25 wins per season.
