Â
Morant went from an unknown talent to NBA superstar at Murray State from 2017-19. His 65 games in the MSU Blue & Gold are the stuff of legend as he goes into the MSU Hall as a first ballot inductee.
Â
As Morant teamed with other talented players, the Racers won a pair of Ohio Valley Conference regular season and tournament championships and made two NCAA Tournament appearances while racking up 56 victories.
Â
After a successful freshman season in which Morant was named All-OVC, he came back even better in the 2018-19 season. Morant earned OVC Player of the Year honors and became the first consensus All-America selection in Murray State history.
Â
In the 2018-19 season, Morant led the nation with 10.0 assists per game and became the first player since assists became official in 1983-84 to average 20 points and 10 assists per game.
Â
In his two seasons at Murray State, Morant set the Racers' career record for assists (532) in 46 fewer games than when Don Mann became the record holder (531) in 1989. Morant's career scoring average of 18.7 points per game ranks him 12th all-time at MSU.
Â
His 1,213 points puts him 31st all-time at MSU, but fourth among two-year players just behind Stark's (2016-18) 1,408 points, De'Teri Mayes' (1996-98) 1,340 points and Cameron Payne's (2013-15) 1,279 points. All three preceded Morant to the Murray State Hall of Fame.
Â
In the summer of 2019, Morant was selected by the Memphis Grizzlies as the second overall pick in the NBA Draft.
Â
The 2024 class includes: Daniel Calhoun (Baseball, 2006-09), Becca Lamb (Volleyball, 2007-10), Coach Velvet Milkman (Women's Golf, 1993-22), Ja Morant (Men's Basketball, 2017-19), Miyah Watford (Women's Soccer, 2017-19), Quincy Williams (Football, 2014-18) and Jack Wolf (Football, 1967-71). The rest of the class will be inducted into the MSU Hall of Fame in early 2025 on a date to be announced.
Â
2013 marked the first Racer Hoopalooza when Coach Steve Prohm brought the idea to life. The event created an immediate connection between players and coaches across all eras of the program and with the loyal Racer fanbase.
