BOSTON/MURRAY – The Murray State men's basketball team finds itself ranked in a national poll for the first time this season, jumping in at No. 6 in the latest Mid Major Top 25 poll released by CollegeInsider.com late Monday night.
The Racers (2-0) were not ranked in the organization's preseason poll, but did receive votes, before opening the year with a pair of victories to jump all the way up to the No. 6 spot. Murray State also received one first place vote amongst the voting panel made up of mid major head coaches.
Murray State was as high as 14th in the February 9 CollegeInsider Mid Major poll last season.
The Racers began the season with a neutral site victory over OVC preseason favorite Tennessee State and the opened the reimagined CFSB Center with a Saturday night win over Northwestern State. Murray State hosts Alcorn State on Tuesday and then welcomes Texas Southern to town on Friday night, both with 7 p.m. tipoffs, to complete the early, three-game homestand.
Murray State goes on the road for three neutral site contests in four days next week, beginning with an 11 a.m. Tuesday tip in Memphis against Hofstra before a pair of contests on Thursday and Friday in the Baha Mar Championship.
