Racer Basketball Announces Non-Conference Schedule

Murray State men's basketball announced a challenging non-conference 2023-24 schedule that sees the Racers host six games in the CFSB Center before the end of the year against the likes of Western Kentucky, SMU and Middle Tennessee.

After opening with their first game at Racer Arena since 1998, an exhibition against Brescia (Nov. 1), the Racers' November campaign takes them to the Fort Myers Tipoff in Florida, during Thanksgiving week against UNCW and Appalachian State (Nov. 20 & 22). Intriguing road games await at Austin Peay (Dec. 9), Mississippi State (Dec. 13) and Little Rock (Dec. 18). Also in December, the Racers host Southeastern Louisiana (Dec. 16), SMU (Dec. 22) and Middle Tennessee (Dec. 30).

The 20-game schedule for Murray State in the Missouri Valley Conference will be released when available.

The Murray State ticket office stands ready for renewals both in person at the CFSB Center, online at GoRacers.com and over the phone (270) 809-3000.

2023 MSU Non-Conference Schedule Notes

MSU's opener against Midway (Nov. 6) marks the beginning of the 99^th season in program history and the 26^th season in the CFSB Center
MSU stands at 313-51 (.859) all-time at the CFSB Center.
The game at Mississippi State marks the Racers' first meeting with the Bulldogs since 2007 and their 10^th overall.
Two old rivals get together when WKU comes to the CFSB Center (Nov, 14). The last time the Racers met the Hilltoppers was a Murray State win at home in 2014.
MSU's game at Little Rock marks their first visit to the Trojans' home floor and the second meeting after they first played in 1998 in Norman, Oklahome.
MSU Coach Steve Prohm is familiar with the program at Southeastern Louisiana. Prohm was assistant coach there for Billy Kennedy from 1999-05 and was part of the Lions' first NCAA Tournament appearance in 2003.
Kennedy became Murray State head coach in 2006 and Prohm was his assistant until he was named head coach in 2011. Prohm's second era with the Racers began last season.
