LAST TIME OUT. . .
Murray State unveiled the reimagined CFSB Center with a 93-71 win on Saturday night, thanks in large part to Brayden Shorter's career-high 29 points on eight three-pointers. Jonas Boulefaa finished with 13 points, while Roman Domon notched 17 points and Mathis Courbon added 11 of his own as nine different Racers were in the scoring column.

BRAYDEN COMES UP JUST SHORT
Brayden Shorter's career-best eight three-pointers on November 7 were the most threes by a Racer in a game since Justice Hill's eight triples in 2022. Shorter becomes the eighth player in program history to make at least eight three-pointers in a game. Shorter nearly tied the program record with nine threes, but had his originally called three-pointer with 8:21 remaining overturned after review to a two-point basket and he eventually finished with the eight made from long distance.

HIGHLY ANTICIPATED, HIGHLY ATTENDED
The November 7 home opener attendance of 5,271 was the largest attended Murray State home opener since the original opening game inside the CFSB Center in 1998 (7,633 fans). In the CFSB Center Era, the Racers are now 28-1 in home openers inside The Bank.

ALCORN FACTS
Alcorn State was 9-23 overall in 2025-26 with a 7-11 SWAC record, ending the year in the second round of the SWAC Tournament. Alcorn State was 2-17 in true road games last season. The Braves opened the season with a pair of losses last week, first falling at Ole Miss (99-58) before a home loss to Howard (94-83). Alcorn State's Tuesday matchup at Murray State is the first of 12 straight games away from home. The Braves will not play another home game until SWAC action on January 2 against Jackson State.

LOOKING FOR LUCKY NUMBER SEVEN
Murray State and Alcorn State have met six times previously heading into Tuesday night. The first contest came in January 1989 and the most recent game was in December 2014, with the Racers having won all six matchups.

SECOND HALF SHOOTERS
Through two games, Murray State is shooting 61 percent overall in the second half, an improvement on their 44 percent first half shooting percentage.

PASSING THE ROCK
Murray State has had double-digit assists in both games this season, with five players tallying multiple helpers in each game. The Racers' 23 assists on Saturday against Northwestern State are their most since passing out 23 against Akron last December, while the 23 assists are the second-most in a game under Ryan Miller, behind only a 27-assist game exactly one year earlier - November 7, 2025 against Mississippi Valley State.
