RACERS LEAD FROM THE FRONT

ALLOW US TO (RE)INTRODUCE OURSELVES. . .
Murray State is coming off of a 20-13 overall record last season with a 12-8 mark in Missouri Valley Conference play and a third-place finish in the league standings, the program's best MVC regular-season finish and most conference wins since joining The Valley.
PANTHER POINTS
FIU finished 15-17 overall last season, going 8-12 in Conference USA action, falling in the CUSA tournament's opening round. FIU was selected ninth in the 10-team CUSA preseason poll on October 8. Tijan Saine Jr. was the lone FIU representative on the CUSA preseason all-conference team. Saine Jr. was a first team All-Big Sky performer at Weber State last season, leading the Big Sky in scoring at 20.8 points per game.
UIW NUGGETS
