2211 CONSECUTIVECONSECUTIVE WWINNINGINNING SSEASONSEASONS

In the world of NCAA D-I basketball, all programs want a better spot in the pecking order. The Murray State Racers have done that by earning distinction as one of the most consistent winners since the early 1980’s. When MSU fi nished 18-13 in 2007-08, it marked their 21st consecutive winning season. The streak puts the Racers in the upper level of college hoops. In this category, Murray State shares space with Syracuse (38 straight), Oklahoma (27), Kansas (25), and Arizona (24). The Racers are tied with Connecticut for the fi fth-best active streak with 21 and counting. The streak began in head coach Steve Newton’s second season in 1987-88 when the team fi nished 22-9. Newton’s teams reeled off three more before Scott Edgar coached the Racers to four winning seasons from 1991 to 1995. Mark Gottfried kept the streak alive with three winners from 1996 to 1998, and Tevester Anderson did his part with fi ve winning seasons until Mick Cronin

n took over in the 2003-04 season and had three more. Billy Ken- n a D

RRACERSACERS IINN TTHEHE OOVCVC HHUNT...AGAINUNT...AGAIN The 2007-08 season was another exciting campaign for Mur- ray State Basketball that ended with the Racers fi nishing second in the OVC for a second straight season. The Racers fell short of their 14th OVC Tournament championship when they bowed out in the semi-fi nals, only two wins shy of their 23rd 20-win campaign. Since the OVC was formed in 1948, seeing MSU battling for the league title is something you can take to the bank. Larry Donald of Basketball Times wrote this about the Rac- ers, “Players have come and gone, but the winning has never stopped.” Since the 1950-51 season when the Racers won their fi rst OVC regular season championship, they have added 19 additional titles and 23 fi nishes in either second or third place. Since 1981, MSU has won the OVC title 13 times, and posted seven runner-up and four third-place fi nishes. During these 28 seasons, the Racers have fi nished out of the top four only once. In his two seasons as the Racers’ head coach, Billy Kennedy has led the team to two second place fi nishes, each time at 13-7. The phrase, “The OVC title runs through Murray,” has never been truer. The Racers are in the thoughts of many around the OVC and that was very evident when MSU was picked fi rst in the OVC Preseason Poll. Murray State received 11 fi rst place votes and a total of 149 points to take the top spot. UT Martin was picked second with six fi rst place votes and 142 points with Austin Peay (two fi rst place votes), and Morehead State (one fi rst place vote) rounding out the top four picks.

Billy Kennedy enters his third season at Murray State with a team that has the experience and talent to earn the OVC championship. It will be exciting to see how this blend of three seniors, three juniors, four sophomores, and three freshman will do. On thing is for certain, Kennedy’s third edition of MSU Bas- ketball has more experience than the ﬁ rst two combined. MSU’s upperclassmen enter the 2007-08 season with a total of 369 games of experience at the NCAA D-I level, and that gives the Racers a tangible they didn’t have in the last two seasons. All of the off-season work and preparation now leads to a chance to see it pay off with the season ﬁ nally here. The Racers will rely heavily on the experience factor as seniors Tyler Holloway and Kevin Thomas team with return- ers Danero Thomas, Tony Easley, Georges Fotso, and Jewuan Long. Newcomers Isacc Miles, Matt Fraliex, Donte Poole, Jeffery McClain and Ivan Aska will be asked to contribute as well to the Racers’ attack. The Racers’ 2007-08 schedule will be challenging to say the least. Murray State makes a trip to Puerto Rico and also tangles with Missouri, Western Kentucky, Arkansas State, and Indiana State.

n The Racers are also scheduled to host an ESPN Bracket n a D

Last summer MSU Basketball was in the spotlight again when ESPN unveiled their list of the best college basketball programs and tabbed the Racers 30th. ESPN used a numerical points system to rank every college hoops program’s success since the start of the 1984-85 season -- the season when the NCAA tournament expanded to 64 teams. Point values were assigned to criteria including conference regular season titles, conference tournament titles, and winning percentage. The Racers’ high consideration from ESPN is well deserved. Murray State earned points for their 24 Ohio Valley Conference titles (13 regular-season and 11 tournament), and 12 20-win seasons. MSU also has 11 appearances in the NCAA Tournament, including a win over North Carolina State in 1988. The Racers won a tiebreaker with Villanova for 30th place by having a better winning percentage,.669-.608. The Racers were ranked ahead of Villanova (31), Oklahoma State (32), Georgia Tech (33), Penn (34), Alabama (35), St. John’s (36), and Missouri (37), and just behind Purdue (29), Maryland (28), Ohio State (27), Gonzaga (26), and Stanford (25).

When Murray State faced North Carolina State in 1988, they were making their ﬁ rst NCAA appearance since 1969. When the game began in Lincoln, Neb. all of the experts predicted a Wolf- pack victory. The Racers had other ideas and managed to build a 41-36 lead at the half. MSU never trailed in the second half and led by as many as 11, before holding on for a Cinderella special 78-75 victory. All-OVC First Team selections Jeff Martin and Don Mann led the way for the Racers with 23 and 16 points, while All-OVC Freshman pick Paul King added nine points off the bench. Chris Ogden added a double-double with 12 points and 11 rebounds. Murray State and head coach Steve Newton got the job done with hot shooting from the ﬁ eld (29-of-58 for 50 percent), and taking care of the ball as the Racers only had nine turnovers. The Racer Nation of fans, students, and alumni went crazy and suddenly Murray State Basketball was known from coast to coast. The victory still stands as Murray State’s only victory in the NCAA Tournament.

JJEFFEFF MMARTINARTIN

Coming out of Cherry Valley, Ark., Jeff Martin received more interest for football than basketball. Yet Murray State took a chance on the spindly forward and never regretted it. Starting as a freshman in 1985, Martin showed 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 played for Detroit before heading to Europe, where he enjoyed tremendous success.

PPOPEYEOPEYE JJONESONES

Murray State’s signing of a 6-8, 300-plus-pound high school center named Ronald “Popeye” Jones was one of the most important decisions in Racer history. The Dresden, Tenn. native made a modest contribution on the veteran 1988-89 team, but the next summer saw him drop 40 pounds, and the rest was history. Jones scored 2,057 career points to rank No. 2 all-time, but his rebounding is most memorable. The all-time MSU career rebounding leader with 1,374 rebounds, Jones led the nation in total rebounds (469) in 1990-91 and rebound average (14.4) in 1991-92. He was named OVC Player and OVC Athlete of the Year twice. Jones enjoyed a 12- year career in the NBA, and is now an assistant coach with the Dallas Mav- ericks.

JJOEOE FULKSFULKS

Joe Fulks played at Murray State from 1941-43, earning recognition as one of the school’s all-time great talents, but it was his post-MSU career which earned him a place in the Basketball Hall of Fame. Fulks was the MVP of the Basketball Association of America, the forerunner of today’s NBA, and also the fi rst to reach 1,000 points. He won a championship in the league’s fi rst season, with the Philadelphia Warriors, and was considered the best player of his era. He fi rst began using the jump shot and is widely recognized as the player who fi rst introduced it to basketball. The 63 points Fulks scored on February 10, 1949, was the most in a game until Elgin Baylor scored 64 in 1959.

Backing up its commitment to ensure that Racer student-athletes have every opportunity to excel in the classroom as well as on the athletic ﬁ elds, Murray State athletics established a state-of-the-art academic center. Named in honor of longtime supporters Jan and Dick Weaver, who provided funding for the building of the center, the Weaver Academic Enhancement Center was opened at Roy Stewart Stadium on June 30, 1997, and immediately began to pay dividends in the MSU athletics program. Today, the Weaver Center is a spacious facility equipped with individual and group study areas, but the centerpiece of the Weaver Center is its computer lab. The center is open 12 hours a day, six days a week during the school year, with an abbreviated schedule during the summer and holidays. The center continues to play a key role in the academic success of MSU student-athletes. For the 2007-08 academic year 153 student-athletes had a 3.5 or higher grade point average and 47 had perfect 4.0 GPA’s. Murray State Basketball student-athletes Tyler Holloway and Jarad Key were named to the 2007-08 National Associa- tion of Basketball Coaches Honors Court which recognizes those collegiate basketball student-athletes who excelled in academics.

Billy Kennedy begins his third season as Murray State University’s head men’s basketball coach and is looking forward to the 2008-09 season. The Racers have posted back-to-back second place ﬁ nishes in the Ohio Valley Conference and are ready to take the next step...winning the OVC championship.

What Kennedy has done in two seasons at Murray State is remarkable. First, he completely rebuilt the roster with an eye on the future. At the beginning of the 2006-07 season, MSU was inexperienced with only two players (Shawn Witherspoon and Tyler Holloway) who had seen signifi cant playing time. As the 2007-08 season started, MSU had only 161 games of D-I experience on their roster and yet they still accomplished two winning seasons (16-14 and 18-13), two second place fi nishes in the OVC, and they pushed MSU’s consecutive winning streak to 21 straight. Heading into season three, the Racers now have a veteran team with 396 games of D-I experience. The Racers’ calling card is tough, in-your-face defense – proved by leading the OVC in fi eld goal defense percentage in back-to-back seasons. “We’ve fi nished higher than we were predicted to fi nish in the last two seasons and we’ve won more games (26) in OVC play than anybody except Austin Peay (32),” Kennedy said. “It’s time to take the next step.” “I really feel our program is now on solid ground and we should be able to legitimately compete for a championship. The last two seasons we were trying to do it without all the necessary pieces.” Kennedy was given a signifi cant contract extension after last season. “I’m excited about where we are at as a program,” Kennedy said. “I’m thankful to be at Murray State and part of the Murray community, I want to thank MSU President Dr. Randy Dunn and Allen Ward for their support.” For Kennedy, his desire to coach basketball has been something he has always had and always loved to do. “I’m fortunate to be able

Photo Credit: Fred Mullane to do something I love doing, coaching basketball,” Kennedy said. His program at Murray State is about more than wins. “Our goal is not only to win championships, but to develop young men. I want to help them be tremendous persons of character and I want to see them be successful in life beyond basketball.”

Alexander Hall and Science Complex

As one of the best public liberal arts universities, Murray State has attracted students of high academic standing. In fact, entering MSU students have the highest ACT average of all Kentucky regional campuses. They are accustomed to challenges, and they are not disappointed. Murray State’s highly-respected liberal arts curriculum is built on a core of courses called University Studies. University Studies is designed to educate each student broadly in the various areas of human knowledge: the arts, the humanities, the natural sciences and the social sciences. Equally important, the curriculum helps students develop communication skills vital to becoming a responsible citizen and a lifelong learner.

The Campus Since its founding in 1922, Murray State has gained a reputation for having one of the most beautiful campuses in the country. Adding to the natural scenic beauty of the campus are the many well- maintained and aesthetically-pleasing buildings. Over the years, MSU has kept its historical look despite making several additions. Business Building Currently, the university has three major building projects under way and several others on the drawing board. Most notably, the university just World-Wide Recognition completed a project which included an impressive entrance to the campus U.S. News & World Report magazine has recognized Murray State and a fence reminiscent of the ones which encircle the many thoroughbred University’s continuing excellence as a top tier university for 15 consecu- horse farms which Kentucky is known.

When the Chronicle of Higher Education featured MSU’s improved style of education, it wrote of “a sense of college unity” and “competition that carries over into the classroom.” The Times of London referred to the idea as a vision of Oxford University in Kentucky. The system is closest to elite U.S. universities, such as Harvard and Yale, which assign their many students to residential houses,” wrote the Times.

Student Life Murray State University offers an active, vibrant and challenging environment for its students. From the classroom to the residential college room, the Murray State experience is one which students will harbor for a lifetime. In the classroom, educators are dedicated to seeing each student reach his or her potential. Class size is about 30 to 35 students. Outside of the classroom, Murray State offers many athletic and social programs. Intramural sports operate year-round, while fraternities and sororities allow students to form bonds with “brothers” and “sisters” which will last a lifetime. Murray State also attracts a wide array of nationally- acclaimed speakers, top concerts and other events. Perhaps the biggest event on campus each year is Homecoming. Each fall, thousands of alumni return to Murray State to renew old friendships and visit the place they called home for four years.

Racer Athletics The university’s intercollegiate athletic programs are a source of tradition, school pride, spirit and entertainment for students, alumni and community members alike. Competing at the highest level of college athletics, MSU is a member of NCAA Division I and is a founding member of the Ohio Valley Conference with its 16-team program. Murray State is committed to athletic excellence, which is evident by its 96 OVC championships in the 54 years that the Racers have been competing in the league. One of the greatest beneﬁ ts of Racer athletics to Murray State is the attention and acclaim which it brings to the university. The Murray State men’s basketball team has achieved extensive notoriety by competing in the NCAA Tournament in most years. Also, the Racers ﬁ nd themselves being written about in such publications as Sports Illustrated, ESPN The Magazine, The Sporting News, USA Today and dozens of publications and newspapers across the country. Additionally, Murray State is featured several times each year on ESPN and Fox Sports Net South as part of their college basketball and football broadcasts. Murray State has also sent its share of players to the NFL, the NBA, Major League Baseball and other professional leagues around the world.

Local Community Located in the city of Murray in Calloway County in the southwestern corner of Kentucky, Murray State is surrounded by a neighborly Main Street community of nearly 50,000 people. Known for its friendly citizens and beautiful, wooded landscape, Murray/Calloway County is a growing and thriving area. In addition to its strong educational, employment and quality of life opportunities, Murray/Calloway County’s location is benefi cial in many ways. Located in the Jackson Purchase region of western Kentucky, Murray is eight miles from Tennessee, 50 miles from Illinois, 65 miles from Missouri and 150 miles from Indiana, making it easily able to draw students from fi ve different states. Also, four major cities (St. Louis, Nashville, Memphis, Louisville) are within a few hours’ driving distance from Murray. One of the biggest attractions in western Kentucky is scenic Kentucky Lake and the Land Between the Lakes. Just a 15-minute drive from the Murray State campus are boating, fi shing, hunting, camping and hiking opportunities, which students often take advantage of during fall and spring weekends.
