Racers move up in Mid Major poll
WBB: Murray State is just two spots outside the Top 25 this week
Murray State is just outside the Top 25 in this week’s CollegeInsider.com Mid Major poll. The Racers earn 20 votes in this week’s poll, which would be good for 27th place overall.
Harvard is #1 this week, picking up 24 of a possible 31 first-place votes. South Dakota State (#2 overall) and Portland (#3) are the other two schools receiving first-place votes.
Three Missouri Valley Conference schools are ranked in the Top 25. Drake is 18th, Northern Iowa is 23rd, and Belmont is 24th. Missouri State is in the ‘Others Receiving Votes’ category.
Coming off their 91-80 win over Illinois State on Sunday, the Racers have now won six of their last seven games to improve to 7-3 on the season. Murray State will hit the road this week with a pair of conference games. The Racers will play at Southern Illinois on Thursday, and then take on Missouri State on Saturday.
