The Murray State racers honor five seniors and one manager on the final home game of the season which also brings to an end the 27th season in the history of the CFSB Center.

JaCobi Wood and Nick Ellington play their final home game as Wood will make his 93rd career start for the Racers in 94 games in three seasons, and Ellington will make his 59th start in 62 career games over two seasons in Murray. Wood is a 1000 point scorer and is one of six MSU players with 400 assists.

Murray State's other three seniors are all one year players that joined the Racers this season. AJ Ferguson came over from southern Illinois, while Terence Harcum joined the Racers after three seasons at Appalachian State, and Kylen Milton became a Racer after playing at Arkansas Pine Bluff. Together Ferguson, Harcum, and Milton have each started all 29 Murray State games to this point of the season. They have combined for one point shy of 1000 points, more than 300 rebounds and more than 135 assists for the Racers.

Team manager David Sandstedt has been with the Racers since 2021.

The group of six and their families will be honored on the court pregame.
