Bouncing Back
Murray State has yet to lose back-to-back games this season, as each of its six previous losses have each been followed with a win.
Seven & Seven
Murray State currently has just seven players in its history that have scored 1600-plus points. In a fitting coincidence, Macey Turley can become the eighth player to accomplish the feat with her next seven points.
Fun While It Lasted
Katelyn Young's recent consecutive free throw made streak came to an end Thursday at Austin Peay at 33. It is the third longest such streak in program history behind 45 from Macey Turley and 44 behind Paige Guffey.
