Murray State vs Morehead State Game Preview
Why Murray State Will Win
The Racers might not be that spectacular, and they don’t come out and dominate with any offensive firepower, but they just keep on winning.
How? How is it that the only loss since Thanksgiving was against Auburn?

Morehead State doesn’t crank out a ton of points, it doesn’t force takeaways and it turned the ball over way too much, but …
Why Morehead State Will Win

They might not come with a ton of pop and offensive runs, but they’re the beat three-point shooting team percentage-wise in the Ohio Valley Conference.

But make it 12-1.
Again, Morehead State hasn’t played a killer home slate and now it gets a Racer team that handles itself well on the road. It doesn’t shoot quite as well, but its defense travels.
