Series At A Glance
Friday will be the 72nd meeting between Murray State and Southeast Missouri with the Redhawks leading the overall series, 41-30, but trailing the Racers in Murray, 18-14. With last month's loss to SEMO in Cape Girardeau, the Racers have now lost two in a row to Southeast Missouri, but have still won three of the last five.
Scouting The Redhawks
Southeast Missouri is currently 12-7 on the year 10-4 in OVC play, thanks most recently to three straight wins over Jacksonville, Tennessee Tech and Belmont. The Redhawks are currently averaging 64.6 points per game with a field goal percentage of 40.9-percent.
Tesia Thompson currently leads the Redhawks this season with 18.7 points per game, while also tying with Latrese Saine for the most rebounds per game at 8.6. Saine also follows Thompson in points per game this season at 11.1, while also averaging the nation's second most blocks per game at 4.1.
Friday's game will be a battle of one of the OVC's top offenses against one of its top defenses. The Racers will enter the game with the league's second-best offense at 70.5 points per game, while SEMO currently boasts the OVC's third-best defense, allowing just 59.3 points per game.
A Win Friday Would...
A win Friday would give the Racers their first three-game winning streak of the season.
Just Get To 61
When the Racers get 61 points this season they are nearly unbeatable. MSU is 10-3 when scoring 61 or more points this season and are 0-6 when scoring 60 points or less.
Big Wins
With two 16-point wins last weekend, five, or exactly half, of the Racers' 10 wins have now come by 16 or more points.
Macey Doing Macey Things
Junior Macey Turley has been a reliable scorer for Murray State this scoring 10-plus point in 17 of 19 games this season . In addition, of those 17 games, Turley scored 20-plus points in seven of them including a season-high 26 twice.
