Game Day Story Lines

The Racers open their 100th season of collegiate basketball and their 27th in the CFSB Center.
After being predicted for eighth and seventh place finishes, the Racers were picked third in the MVC Preseason Poll and saw seniors Nick Ellington and JaCobi Wood each receive All-MVC honors.
The Racers have added experience to their 2024-25 roster in Terence Harcum (App State), Kylen Milton (Pine Bluff), AJ Ferguson (Southern Illinois) and KyeRon Lindsay (Texas Tech).
It's season three for MSU in the Missouri Valley Conference. The Racers have two second-month MVC games against Evansville (Dec. 3) at home and on the road (Dec. 18) against Indiana State.
Coach Steve Prohm begins his seventh season in his career with the Racers and the 2024-25 season marks third season in his second era in Murray and it's his 14th season as a head coach, that began at Murray State in 2011.
Prohm is 8-4 as a head coach in season openers and is 5-1 in openers at the CFSB Center.
The Racers are 86-13 all-time in season openers and 25-1 in CFSB Center openers with the only loss coming to the Houston Cougars in 2014.
The recently announced renovation of MSU's home, the CFSB Center, will transform the arena that opened under Coach Tevester Anderson in the fall of 1998.
The project is now in the early planning stages.
MSU welcomes new assistant coaches Brendan Mullins (SIU) and Bryan Sherrer (Pine Bluff) as both very familiar with the Murray State program.
