Murray State was the only Division I school that offered him a scholar- ship, but the signing of a 6-foot-8, 300-plus-pound high school center named Ronald “Popeye” Jones was one of the most important deci- sions in Racer basketball history. Arriving as a freshman from Dresden, Tenn., Jones made a modest contribution on the veteran 1988-89 team, but the next summer saw him drop 40 pounds from his frame, and the rest was history. Jones scored 2,057 career points to rank No. 2 all- time when he fi nished, but it was rebounding where he made his mark. The all-time MSU career rebounding leader with 1,374 rebounds, Jones led the nation in total rebounds (469) in 1990-91 and average (14.4) in 1991-92. He was named OVC Player of the Year twice (1990 and 1991) and OVC Athlete of the Year in 1991 and 1992. Following his Racer career, Jones began his pro career in . He enjoyed a 10 year career in the NBA with Dallas, Toronto, , Washington and and Golden State. joe fulks

Joe Fulks played at Murray State from 1941- 43, earning recognition as one of the school’s all-time greats, but it was his post-MSU career which earned him a place in the Basketball Hall of Fame. As a professional, Fulks was the MVP of the NBA and was considered the best player of his era. One publication called him the “Babe Ruth of basketball.” In an era when the set shot was the preferred method for scoring, it was Joe Fulks fi rst began using the jump shot and is widely recognized as the player who fi rst introduced it to basketball.

jeff martin

When Jeff Martin was in high school in Cherry Valley, Ark., colleges were more interested in him for football than basketball. Yet Murray State took a chance on the spindly forward and never regretted it. Starting as a freshman in 1985, the 6-foot-5 Martin showed right away an ability to score. By the time he was fi nished, Martin was the top scorer in school history. In four seasons, Martin scored 2,484 points and averaged a record 21.2 ppg. To this day, no collegiate player in the state of Kentucky has scored more points than Martin. He was a two-time OVC Player of the Year and a two-time OVC Athlete of the Year. Drafted by the NBA’s Clippers, Martin also played for Detroit be- fore heading to Europe, where he enjoyed tremendous success. Howie Crittenden (1952-56)

“When a player comes into our program, he’s going to fi nd a coaching staff that is committed to bringing out the best in him.

We’re not just trying to win basketball games, we’re also trying to prepare young men for life after college.”

Mick Cronin CCroninronin BBasketballasketball the style For opponents, when the Racers kick their defense into high gear, it may seem like they have six players on the fl oor instead of fi ve. The style of play employed by Mick Cronin is Student-Athlete fun for the players and fun for the fans. Full- court defensive pressure and an up-tempo, end-to-end attack on offense make playing the Racers a 40-minute track meet. In the Development Racers’ unselfi sh style, every player gets as much a thrill from getting an as they do scoring the points.

the process In order to implement the Cronin style of play, much work must be done. With a conditioning program centered on improving quickness, endurance and body makeup, the Racers are primed and ready once the season tips off. While practice time is spent on teaching and sharpening the team concepts used in Cro- nin’s style of play, the Racer head coach uses individual workouts to hone each player’s skill. Dramatic individual improvements are made through these methods. Cronin Basketball

Murray State Basketball makes it a priority to prepare the student- athlete to succeed in life. To further that endeavor, MSU Athletics joined t he NCAA CHAMPS/Life Skills Program in September. The goal is to prepare student-athletes for the day when they will transi- tion from their college careers to being responsible and productive members of society. The mission of the CHAMPS program is to provide opportunities for personal development. The focus of the program is on the individual as a whole - academically, athletically and emotionally.

51 19 OVC Championships 2005-2006 Racer Basketball Mick Cronin Over the years, Murray State basketball has built a reputation nationally as one of the most successful college basketball programs in the country. Now, as MSU enters its 82nd year of basketball, Mick Cronin is carrying on the winning tradition...

Mick Cronin, recognized as one of the nation’s top assistant coaches prior to becoming the Racers’ 13th head coach, proved in his fi rst season in 2003-2004 that he is one of the bright young head coaches in the business. In his fi rst season, Cronin led the Racers to a 28-6 record, an OVC Tournament championship and a berth in the NCAA Tournament. His 28 wins rank fi fth all-time in NCAA history for wins by a fi rst-year head coach. Last season’s 17-11 mark has made Cronin even more determined to get the Racers back to the NCAA. Cronin arrived in Murray after serving as associate head coach/recruiting coordinator for two seasons at the University of Louisville under head coach Rick Pitino. Prior to his stint with the U of L, Cronin was an assistant to on the Cincinnati coaching staff for fi ve years and is a noted recruiter and game strategist. In his fi rst full year with the Cardinals, Cronin helped U of L attract a recruiting class rated among the nation’s top-10, while in his second season, he helped lead the Cardinals to the second round of the 2003 NCAA Tournament. During the Cards’ impres- sive 25-7 campaign in ‘02-03, they won 17 straight games dur- ing one stretch, were ranked as high as No. 2 in the nation and won the CUSA Tournament. An important part of the success was the play of one of Cronin’s key signees, Francisco Garcia, the 2003 C-USA Freshman of the Year and last June, a top draft pick with the NBA’s Sacramento Kings. Cronin has been recognized as one of the top assistant coaches in the nation by a number of sports publications including: Rated as the top assistant coach in the nation in 2002-03 by Athlon Magazine; Named top assistant in Conference USA in ‘02-’03 by Lindy’s College Basketball; One of the top-5 assistants to watch in 2001-02 by Lindy’s College Basketball; named top recruiting assistant in the nation and top assistant in C-USA by The Sporting News in 2002-03; and was the second-ranked assistant coach in the nation by HoopScoop. Before being selected by Pitino to be associate head coach at U of L, Cronin began earning his label as one of the top assistants in the nation by playing a key role in the success of the Cincinnati men’s basketball program from 1997-2001.

59 19 OVC Championships 2005-2006 Racer Basketball ''04-'0504-'05 ReviewReview

The 2004-2005 campaign was a season of change for the Racer pro- gram. Gone were names of Victor, Whelchel, Shumate and Hornig...and the rest of the nine seniors that led the team to a 28-6 mark the year before. Replac- ing them were nine newcomers who largely had never played together before. The Racers were a team trying to fi nd themselves, and that was the theme throughout the season. Every time Murray State looked like it was about to go on a winning streak, it was reeled back in by their lack of experience. There are several examples of the good times and the bad.

At Missouri: the Racers held a seven point lead with seven minutes left before bowing out 59-55. Issian Redding burst on the scene with 15 points.

At Southern Illinois: The Racers fell behind early, but had the ball and down by three with under 90 seconds left in the game. The Racers lost 80-71.

Eastern Kentucky at home: The Racers showed amazing grit in beating the Colonels in overtime 80-78. Keith Jenifer sank two free throws with three seconds on the clock to force the ex- tra period. The Racers were 2-0 in the OVC, but stumbled the next time out at Samford, losing 55-47.

Austin Peay at home: In front of a national TV on ESPN, Racer fans made the RSEC as loud as it has ever been, and the team responded. A 15-0 run to start the second half erased a 14-point half- time lead and the Racers outscored the Govs by 23 in the second half to win 83-72.

At Rice: Making their fi rst appearance in the ESPN Bracket Buster, the Racers beat the Owls in Houston with another come-from-behind win, 69-63. The Racers followed with wins at SE Missouri and Eastern Illinois to carry them into the OVC Tournament.

SE Missouri at home: The night just had a funny feeling from the start as the Racers (third seed) hosted the RedHawks (sixth seed). The Racers were eliminated 61-58 and exited the tournament in the fi rst round for the fi rst time since 1987.

How will this season end up? Well, that’s why we play the games. The ‘05-06 edition of Murray State basketball hopes to learn from last season and return to the top of the Ohio Valley Conference.
