Stark's 9 Threes Not Enough - Racers Fall In OT At South Dakota State
12/17/2016 2:58:00 PM | Men's Basketball
The Murray State Racers took the lead in overtime, but fell 88-84 against the South Dakota State Jackrabbits
Saturday at Frost Arena in Brookings, S.D.
Jonathan Stark scored 32 points for the Racers and tied a Murray State single-game record with nine 3-point baskets.
The Racers (5-7), who made a run at ending SDSU's 33-game home win streak, are back at home Thursday when they host the Wright State Raiders at the CFSB Center at 7 p.m.
It was Stark's 3-pointer with 55-seconds remaining that tied the game at 72-72. After getting a defensive stop, the Racers had a chance to win the game, but Stark missed at 3-point try which sent them to their second overtime game this season.
MSU took its first lead of the game when Jones was fouled on a 3-point attempt and hit all three from the free throw line for a 75-74 lead with 3:41 left. The lead grew to 79-76 on a rare four-point play by Stark when he was fouled on a 3-pointer. He made the shot and the ensuing free throw with 3:10 left. The Racers lost the lead for good with 2:34 left when SDSU's Reed Tellinghulsen made a free throw. The Racers cut the lead to 85-84 when Stark hit a 3-pointer with 26-seconds left, but MSU couldn't get another chance to either tie or take the lead.
One game remains for the Racers before taking a short break for Christmas. MSU is home Thursday to host Wright State. Tip time at the CFSB Center is 7 p.m.
Game Notes
The Racers tied the school record with 17 made 3-point baskets. The Racers set the record against Campbellsville in old Racer Arena with 17 threes in 1994.
MSU set a new school record with 45 attempted 3-point shots, besting the 2013 record of 38 against Eastern Illinois.
Stark's nine 3-point baskets tied Justin Burdine's MSU mark what he set at home against Eastern Kentucky in 2002.
Stark's line read: 11-of-18 from the field including 9-of-15 from the 3-point line and 1-of-1 from the free throw line. He also had five rebounds, six assists and three steals.
The game with SDSU put to bed the ESPNU BracketBusters series that ran from 2005 to 2013. The Racers owed SDSU a return game from their meeting at MSU in 2013. The Racers were 7-2 all-time in BracketBuster games and after tonight's result, finished 5-4.
Stark's 30-point night was MSU's first since Jeffery Moss scored 33 against UT Martin last February.
Tonight was MSU's second overtime game this season. They also played OT at Southern Illinois (Nov. 29) 89-85. MSU has lost their last two overtime games since beating SEMO on the road 94-92 in 2014
