Tech 13-3 Murray State o Back in the day, the OVC sports information staff came up Ron Greene 1978-85 7 .604 2002-03 APSU/MOR 13-3 Austin Peay with nicknames for certain road trips in the league . For *4 or more seasons as head coach 2003-04 Austin Peay 16-0 Murray State example, the Murray State/Austin Peay trip was called the 2004-05 Tenn. Tech 12-4 E. Kentucky “Valley of Tears” because opponents frequently had their 2005-06 Murray State 17-3 Murray State hearts broken on that trip. Another one in the late 1980’s was “Ice Valley” given to the trip to then OVC 2006-07 Austin Peay 16-4 E. Kentucky members Akron and Youngstown State, because is was very cold there when teams visited during the 2007-08 Austin Peay 16-4 Austin Peay basketball season. However, the one nickname that has stuck more than the rest of “Death Valley”, the 2008-09 UT Martin 14-4 Morehead St. name for the trip to Morehead State and Eastern Kentucky, the challenge facing the Racers this week. The 2009-10 Murray State 17-1 Murray State nickname brought to mind just how tough winning is on this trip. 2010-11 Murray State 14-4 Morehead St. o KJ Williams scored his career-high 25 points (Jan. 28) against TSU. His previous best was 23 points at the 2011-12 Murray State 15-1 Murray State Gulf Coast Showcase (11-26-19). In the same game, he tied his career-high with 16 rebounds, same as he 2012-13 Belmont 14-2 Belmont had at Eastern Illinois (1-17-19). The last Racer to grab 15 or more rebounds was Anthony Smith against 2013-14 Belmont 14-2 E. Kentucky Belmont (1-23-20). Williams made a run at the CFSB Center rebound record. The record is 18, by James 2014-15 Murray State 16-0 Belmont Singleton against EIU in 2003 and Jarvis Williams against Southeast Missouri in 2013. 2015-16 Belmont 12-4 Austin Peay o Williams was named the OVC Player of the Week (Feb. 1) because of those performances against TSU and 2016-17 Belmont 15-1 Jacksonville State Belmont. The weekly award was the Racers’ first winner since Ja Morant was honored (02-25-19) at the end 2017-18 Murray State 16-2 Murray State of the 2018-19 season. Even though the Racers were co-OVC champions in the 2019-20 season, they had 2018-19 MUR/BEL 16-2 Murray State no winners in the weekly awards for Player of the Week, Newcomer of the Week or Freshman of the Week. 2019-20 MUR/BEL 15-3 Belmont o Tevin Brown hit six 3-point baskets for his top game this season (Jan. 23) against Tennessee Tech. Brown’s career-high is nine, which tied him for the MSU record when he did it at UT Martin (01-10-19). The last time Brown hit six in a game was at home against Cumberland (12-28-19). o Two Racers met head to head in the NBA (Jan. 18) when Cam Payne of the Phoenix Suns took on Ja Morant and the Memphis Grizzlies at the Fedex Forum in Memphis, Tenn. Morant was coming off an ankle injury that kept him out far less than was originally diagnosed. Morant played 34 minutes with 17 points and 10 assists, while Payne got into the game for 17 minutes where he scored five points and dished out four assists. It is amazing to think that two Murray State players, both OVC MVP winners (Payne in 2015 & Morant in 2019) meet in Payne’s hometown of Memphis and where Morant now calls home and on MLK Day. What a great day for them and the Murray State men’s basketball program. This was the first time Morant and Payne met in the NBA. Payne and Isaiah Canaan met five times. o Tevin Brown had a season-high five steals in the home game with Jacksonville State (Jan. 21). He was the

first Racer to get five since Ja Morant did so against TTU at home on Feb. 2, 2019. The last Racer to get six steals in a single game was Shaq Buchanan against EKU at home on Jan. 5, 2019. Brown was one steal CCOLLEGEINSIDEROLLEGEINSIDER PPOLLOLL from the CFSB Center record of six by Danero Thomas in 2010 against UT Martin. MID-MAJOR TOP 25 (Feb. 22) o The Racers won their first road victory of the 2020-21 season at UTM (Jan. 16). Previous this season, MSU Rk Team Rec Pts Prev had lost road games at Middle Tennessee, Southern Illinois, Austin Peay, Belmont and Eastern Illinois. This 1 Gonzaga (31) 22-0 775 1 was MSU’s first road win since a dramatic 59-58 win (Feb. 22, 2020) at SIUE. In that game, the Racers faced 2 Belmont 24-1 728 2 a five-point deficit with a minute left, but found a way to win. Tevin Brown hit a deep 3-point shot to give 3 Loyola Chicago 19-4 716 3 the Racers the winning margin with nine seconds left. 4 Drake 22-2 668 4 o Freshman Jackson Sivills made his first start of his collegiate career in the Morehead State game (Jan. 2). 5 Winthrop 20-1 621 6 He ended the game hitting his only attempt from the field, a 3-pointer. Sivills scored 4 four points total 6 BYU 17-5 612 6 with two rebounds in 11 minutes. 7 Liberty 17-5 544 8 o The Racers saw their 25-game winning streak end at the CFSB Center (Jan. 2) in a 61-56 loss to Morehead 8 Toledo 18-6 540 9 State.

Brown had made a three in 13 consecutive games dating back to last 14 UCSB 16-3 337 20 season. The Murray State record is held by Isaiah Canaan who made 40 games in a row from 2012-13. 15 Furman 15-7 307 16 Brown had a run of 14 games in the 2019-20 season. 16 UNCG 16-7 255 15 o It’s rare when the Racers give up an opponent scorer of 30 points (usually once per season), but they 17 Texas State 15-6 207 18 did to Austin Peay’s Terry Taylor (Dec. 21) in Clarksville.
