LAST TIME OUT. . .
Roman Domon tied a career-high with 29 points on Tuesday night to lead Murray State to its third-straight victory to open the season, this time by a 94-57 score over Alcorn State inside the CFSB Center. Brayden Shorter followed up his 29-point game on Saturday with a 19-point performance, Christian Jones added eight points and four Racers each finished with six points.
90-PLUS
Murray State has scored in bunches early this season, with the hot start marking the Racers first time scoring 90-plus points in three consecutive wins against Division I opposition since three straight wins back on January 3, 5 and 10, 2019.
GETTING TO THE LINE
Murray State has gotten to the line 24 or more times in each of the three games to date, including tallying 33 free throw attempts on Tuesday against Alcorn State. The 33 attempts are the Racers' second-most under head coach Ryan Miller, tying a 33 attempt night against UIC last March, while the high mark of 41 came in the first game of the Miller Era against Omaha last November in the Field of 68 Opening Day Marathon. The Racers shot 30-plus free throws five times last season.
TEXAS TWO-STEP
Texas Southern ended 2025-26 with a 12-18 overall record and a 10-3 record in the SWAC, falling to Alabama A&M in the semifinals of the SWAC Tournament. The Tigers began this season with road losses at Grand Canyon (103-79) and LSU (92-51) before notching their first win on Tuesday at home over the College of Biblical Studies of Houston (98-78).Â
WE MEET AGAIN. . . FINALLY
Murray State and Texas Southern will meet for just the second time on Friday night, nearly 36 years after the Racers won a 79-65 neutral site contest at the Citizens Bank Classic in Jonesboro, Arkansas back on Dec. 7, 1990.
MID MAJOR NATIONAL ATTENTION

THREE-POINT SHORTER
