The CFSB Center became the new name for the home of the Racers at the start of the 2010-11 season. The building has been good to Murray State Basketball since the beginning in 1998. Since that time, MSU Basketball has enjoyed one of the best home-court advantages in college basketball with a 172-28 record in 14 seasons in the building which is good for an .860 winning percentage. The largest crowd to watch a Racer game at the CFSB Center was the 8,825 fans that showed up to watch MSU battle St. Mary’s on Feb. 18, 2012. The day also marked the fi rst visit to the CFSB Center by ESPN legend Dick Vitale.

After the OVC was formed in 1948, the league began playing a postseason tournament the following spring in 1949. The tournament wasn’t played in some seasons in early OVC history, but has been played every year since 1974. The Racers have regularly been part of the fun. Out of 49 OVC tournaments, the Racers have made it to the semifi nals 37 times. Fifteen times MSU has won the championship, including seven in the 1990’s. The Racers lead the league with 62 all-time wins and 13 players named MVP. The 2013 event is again at Municipal Auditorium in Nashville, Tenn., where the entire eight team fi eld will compete in one place.

No boxscore is available. The following is an excerpt from the Murray Ledger & Times about the game.

“Western Kentucky sneaked out a 47-45 win over a dogged and clever Murray State squad in the Ohio Valley Conference Tournament championship game.

MSU coach Harlan Hodges gave his team strict orders not to run with WKU and not shoot unless they were able to work the ball under the basket to Garrett Beshear and Mel Deweese.

The game total score is the lowest in the history of the OVC Tourna-ment as 7,000 witnessed.

WKU scored the winning hoop with a minute and 47 seconds remaining on a basket by Art Spoetstra.

Murray’s fl ashy little Bennie Purcell was shadowed by WKU’s veteran Gene Rhodes so that he only took four shots and made one point. This was partly because Purcell was holding the ball to slow the game down.”

At this time, the OVC was only in it’s fi fth season of existence. The article also mentioned that WKU was hopeful of getting a coveted shot in the National Invitation Tournament and would certainly participate if asked to.

Game Story: Three seasons into OVC history, the Racers nailed down their fi rst tournament title with a 92-83 win over EKU for Head Coach Harlan Hodges. It turned out to be his only tournament championship in his sevens seasons guiding the Racers.Defi ning Moment: The Colonels had no answer for Racer star Garrett Beshear who hit 14 fi eld goals and ended up with 37 points.Key Stats: MSU did trail by three at the half.

In the 1990 NCAA Tournament the Racers came up with magic in Knoxville, Tenn., when they nearly became the fi rst 16-seed to upset a 1-seed, but fell short to Michigan State 75-71 in overtime. Late in the second half the Racers trailed by six points with 2:22 remaining when Greg Coble went to work. The MSU guard hit a layup and free throw to cut the lead to three. Then with time running out he hit a three-pointer at the buzzer to send the game into overtime at 65-65. In the extra time, Frank Allen hit another three to tie the game at 71-71 with 1:06 left, but Michigan State got back-to-back baskets in the fi nal :43 to escape with the win.

The Racers came back two days later in Lincoln, Neb. and took eventual National Champion Kansas to the brink before bowing out in a 61-58 loss. Jeff Martin’s basket with :50 remaining gave MSU a 58-57 lead and the inside track on a trip to the Sweet-16, but Danny Manning had other ideas. The Kansas All-American hit a hook shot in the lane for a one-point Jayhawks lead, before Don Mann of Murray State missed a three-pointer for the win with :03 left. The M&M Boys left their mark on Murray State Basketball. Martin fi nished with 22 points, while Mann added 16.

In the 1988 NCAA Tournament the Murray State Racers be-came a national story when they upset Jim Valvano’s North Carolina State team in Lincoln, Neb., by a 78-75 score. How did the Racers do it? Part of the story was MSU’s 14 made free throws which was more than the 13 NCSU attempted. MSU also played an oustanding defensive game in holding NCSU to 42 percent from the fi eld, while matching it when they had the ball. This magical moment stands as the fi rst win for the Racers in the NCAA Tournament.

Murray State’s appearance in the 1995 NCAA Tournament took the Racers to Tallahassee, Fla., where they ran into North Carolina and their great lineup that featured Jerry Stackhouse and Rashed Wallace. With Wallace limited because of an ankle injury, the Racers fi gured to benefi t. However, little used center Serge Zwikker was thrown into the fi re and responded with a career-high 19 points. Even so, the Racers battled to a 42-41 lead at the half and remained in the game late into the second trailing only 69-65 with only 3:05 remaining. The Tar Heels hit 8-of-10 free throws down the stretch to advance with an 80-70 fi nal. MSU’s dynamic duo of Marcus Brown and Vincent Rainey helped the Racer cause scoring 26 and 21 points. Rainey also added eight rebounds and six steals.

The OmniThe OmniThe Racers 1992 NCAA appearance was filled with intriguing story lines when Murray State was paired with the powerful Arkansas Razorbacks in Milwaukee, Wisc. MSU’s big man, Popeye Jones, went head-to-head with Arkansas’ Oliver Miller. Plus MSU Coach Scott Edgar was a former assistant to Nolan Richardson. The Racers fell behind 18-9 early on, but rallied to take the lead at 36-35 on a basket by Jones at 4:23 before half. Popeye was only one rebound from a double-double by half with the Racers trailing 43-39. MSU’s fi nal lead came with 12:28 remaining when Arkansas built an 11-point lead at 4:02 and won the game 80-69. Frank Allen led the Racers with 25 points including 6-9 from three-point range, while Popeye had 17 points to go with 15 rebounds.

In Dayton, Ohio, the Racers met North Carolina again and nearly pulled the upset in the NCAA Tournament. MSU held a 31-30 lead at half and still led by three with 8:50 remaining in the game. Darnell Hopkins tied the game at 65-65 with a jumper, but Tyler Hansbrough gave UNC the lead again with a baseline jumper with :43 left. MSU’s fi nal try was a three-pointer from the corner by Trey Pearson. The shot rimmed off and the Racers were close but still lost 69-65. Pearson fi nished with 18 points (4-of-8 from three-point range), while Issian Redding came off the bench to score 12, with Justin Orr scoring 10. Shawn Witherspoon was off to a great start with fi ve points and four rebounds in the fi rst eight minutes of the game. However, he broke a bone in his right foot and had to leave the game.

MSU had the ball and were down by two points with :17 remain-ing, but were unable to get a shot off and possibly tie or win the game like they did two days before against Vanderbilt. The Racers were plagued by turnovers and fi nished the day on 18 which was only one more than their fi eld goal total of 19. MSU only hit 5-of-12 from the free throw line.

KFC Yum! Center - NCAA TournamentKFC Yum! Center - NCAA TournamentThe Murray State Racers fell short of their fi rst trip to the NCAA Sweet 16 when they dropped a 62-53 loss to Marquette. The Racers were shooting to become the fi rst team from the Ohio Valley Conference to win two games in the tournament since 1971. This was the third time in school history that the Racers had gotten to one win from advancing to the NCAA Sweet 16. Trailing by four with 13:01 remaining, the Racers dug in for a fi ght to the fi nish. The Racers built a lead on the shoulders of rebounding machine Ed Daniel and back-to-back threes from Donte Poole and Isaiah Canaan. MSU’s 12-3 run put them in front 46-41 with 7:36 remaining. The Golden Eagles held the Racers in check and answered with a game-changing 13-2 run over the 3:14 to lead 55-48 with 3:07 remaining. MSU never got the game back to a one possession game and drew as close as four points twice with the last time at :42 remaining. MU made 7-of-8 free throws to seal the win. Before the game against Marquette, Prohm was honored by Basketball Times as its Coach of the Year.
