Old OVC rivals have continued their series in The Valley

The Murray State Racers hit the road for the first of two meetings with the Belmont Bruins in the Missouri Valley Conference season, when they meet for the first time this season at the Curb Event Center in Nashville. Tip time for the Racers and Bruins is 7 p.m. Saturday in Music City. It's a doubleheader day as the MSU women's team plays at 4 p.m. against the Bruins.

After starting the MVC season 8-0, the Racers come to Nashville with a 3-game losing streak after a pair of losses last week in Iowa to Drake and UNI and a Wednesday home loss to Illinois State.

During the 3-game skid, the Racers' field goal and 3-point percentages are down from their normal great numbers as the team is .421 (80-190) from the field and .225 (18-80) from the 3-point line.

The Racers have the 3rd, 10th and 11th scorers in the MVC in Javon Jackson (16.9ppg), Roman Domon (13.2) and Fred King (13ppg).

King leads the MVC in rebounding at 8.7rpg and is 43rd nationally.

MSU's French freshman, Roman Domon, is the top scorer for the Racers over the last three games at 18.7ppg, after his career-high 29 points last week at Drake.
The Racers are 2-8 all-time at Belmont in their histories together in the OVC and MVC with wins in 2022 and 1998.
