RACERS @ TN Martin Game Thread

A win tonight would secure the number 1 seed in Evansville. We have something big to play for, let's put on a show!! Go Racers.

For my own education - is the reason that we secure the one seed if we win today is because, should we lose the last two games and tie with Belmont, our head-to-head record against Morehead is 2-0 vs. Belmont's 1-1?

Need to start playing some Racer basketball. Tempo is just not our style.

Martin shooting 89% halfway through first half. Need to crank up the defense a little.

Yep.

Gotta figure out how to attack that zone. It's been a weakness this season.

We gotta learn to hit these point blank bunny shots. We've missed so many today.

I know every team it's hard to keep the focus and adrenaline for every game on the road. It's tough no matter where you play. But when you play in the OVC you just can't let it happen. They are really really good in big games this year, but we've seen a big shift in games that should be wins on the road.

Damn heart attack but we Co Champs at the very least with the 1 seed!

Refs were horrible too. Touch fouls then no calls. Glad we pulled it out.

Where is that vomit emoji when you need it??!??! Whew!!!!!

Honestly, UTM deserved that win more than we did, and I sure as hell didn't want to give that win to an 8-win OVC team on the way out the door. Great road win against a team that, for some reason, matches up with us very well.

I hope between now and tourney time we can find an answer for Simon.

If UTM makes the tourney they're gonna have to win Wednesday and Thursday just to get to us. More than likely we'll be playing SEMo back to back.

Congratulations to Tevin. Joining the elite scorers at Murray State. And to do that, he passed up a record set by Garrett Beshear in a different era, 1949-1953. A good performance by Tevin in a difficult game. But how about that pass in to KJ at the end of the game? Whew!

So, what's more anemic, the performance on the floor or the size of today's game thread? Get the clunker out of the way before Belmont. Go Racers.
