Racers nearing Mid Major Top 25
MBB: Murray State has enough votes to be 29th this week in Mid Major poll
Coming off a 79-66 neutral site win last week over UT Arlington, Murray State’s men are officially knocking on the door of the CollegeInsider.com Mid Major Top 25 poll.
The Racers, who are 4-2 overall on the season, picked up 52 votes in this week’s poll, which would be good for 29th overall. UC Irvine, who enters the week at 8-0, is #1 in the poll for the first time in program history.
Murray State will have two more chances this week to improve their chances of cracking the Top 25. The Racers open Missouri Valley Conference play on Tuesday when they host Evansville, and then they’ll welcome former Ohio Valley Conference rival Southeast Missouri State to the CFSB Center on Sunday.
Three Missouri Valley Conference teams are in the Top 25 this week: Bradley is #4, Drake is #5, and Belmont comes in at #21. Missouri State is also in the ‘Other Receiving Votes’ category with two votes this week.
