It feels like every third game this season for Murray State has turned into, ‘This is the biggest game of the year for the Racers.’

Thursday night, it’s happening again.

Murray State, who starts the day tied for 2nd place in the Missouri Valley Conference, will host the Valley’s top team in Missouri State. With four games to play in the regular season, the Racers have a legitimate path to grabbing at least a share of their first regular season title. The only way that path can become reality is by beating the Lady Bears on Thursday.
