The Game
The Murray State women's basketball team will play the last of four straight weekend games at home Saturday when it hosts Belmont at CFSB Center Saturday at 4:30 p.m. on ESPN+, WNBS 97.9 FM and the Zeno radio app.
Scouting The Bruins
The Bruins are currently 6-4 on the year and 3-2 in the OVC. Since returning from a 30-day pause earlier this month, Belmont is 2-2 with win over Eastern Illinois and SIUE and losses to the Racers and UT Martin.
Belmont currently leads the OVC in several team categories including fewest turnovers (147), scoring margin (8.5), steals per game (11.9), 3-point field goals per game (9.5), 3-point percentage (36.5), turnover margin (5.4) and turnovers forced (20.1).
Belmont is currently averaging 67.4 points per game in 40.9-percent shooting, while opponents are shooting 39.5-percent from the floor and scoring 58.9 points per game.
Freshmen Destinee Wells and Tuti Jones currently lead the Bruins with 13.9 and 11.7 points per game, while junior Conley Chinn is averaging 11.8.
A Win Saturday Would...
A win Saturday would give Murray State its first-ever season sweep of Belmont.
Group Effort
In Thursday's win over Tennessee State, all 13 available Racers got in the game and 11 different Racers ended up on the score sheet. No player scored more than 12 points and eight players scored five points or more.
Clamping Down
Murray State allowed Tennessee State to score just 58 points in Thursday's win. The 58 points allowed marked the Racers' best defensive effort of the season.
Total Control
Tennessee State scored the first bucket of Thursday's game to take a 2-0 lead. Just 15 seconds later Lex Mayes hit a 3-pointer to give MSU a lead it would go on to hold for the remaining 38:15 of the game.
