Watch Ja Morant On the Big Stage At NBA Draft Party

Murray State Athletics invites all Racer fans for an NBA Draft party, June 20, at Murray Country Club in Murray, Kentucky.

The Murray Bank is a proud sponsor of this one of a kind fan experience.

The event begins at 5 p.m. and fans will be able to watch the draft unfold on television and see the moment when Racer All-America selection Ja Morant learns of the team he'll become a member of. It will truly be one of the biggest moments in MSU sports history and to experience it with a bunch of Racer fans will be fun.

ESPN will carry the draft live from the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, N.Y. , beginning at 7:30 p.m. Central Time.

The cost for a ticket to the event is $30, which includes desserts and heavy appetizers.

Tickets are available through the ticket office at the CFSB Center. This can be done by calling (270) 809-3000 or in person.

Morant played 65 games in two seasons for the Racers and apart from his individual accomplishments, the biggest thing he did was help the 41845

Racers to back-to-back Ohio Valley Conference championships, OVC Tournament championships and NCAA Tournament appearances. The Racers were 54-11 overall and 32-4 in the OVC. After beating Marquette this season in the NCAA Tournament, the Racers finished 29^th in the final Associated Press poll.

Individually, the list of accomplishments for Morant is incredibly long and impressive.

He earned 13 All-America honors and was the OVC's first consensus All-America since 1971. Morant finished the season with 331 assists, the sixth-most in NCAA single-season history and easily new records at MSU and in the OVC. He also set the MSU single-season scoring mark with more than 800 points. He averaged 24.5 points and 10.0 assists/game making him the first player to average 20/10 in a season since the NCAA began to officially recognize assists in 1983-84.

The drama of the NBA Draft Lottery played out (May 13) when the draft order was decided in Chicago. The New Orleans Pelicans were the first team to be drawn out of the hat and have the first overall pick in the NBA Draft.
