Surging Murray State Staying True to Itself After Losing Ja Morant
The first thing you should know about Murray State is that it's still very much relevant.
That part tends to get lost for the crowd who conduct a weekly scour of the bottom of the AP Top 25 rankings in the “others receiving votes” section.
The Racers haven’t made that leap yet, but if rankings equaled validity, the carousel of teams with numbers preceding their names wouldn’t remain in constant rotation.
“We just try to stay focused on us,” Murray State head coach Matt McMahon said. “I know it sounds boring, but we just want to be 1-0 against the next team.”
Currently, the Racers are sitting at 17-5 overall and tied for first in the Ohio Valley Conference at 10-0.
