2/7/2026 10:15:00 PM | Men's Basketball
The Racers are 11-1 this season at home in The Bank
After winning back-to-back games against UIC and Southern Illinois, after losing four in a row, the Murray State Racers come home Monday for a 9 p.m. game against the Northern Iowa Panthers at the CFSB Center.
The Racers won for a third-straight time at SIU Friday night 91-81 and now go for a split in their season series with UNI after losing in Cedar Falls (Jan. 24).
The big development for the Racers in the last two games is the emergence of freshman Roman Domon who had made his first two starts at MSU and has scored 35 points, grabbed 13 rebounds and dished out six assists.
MSU's Fred King has been very good all season and in the last two games, has scored 33 points, grabbed 23 rebounds and made three steals.
In the two wins over UIC and SIU, the Racers are hitting 52 percent from the field and 39 percent from the 3-point line.
Prior to joining the MVC in 2022, the Racers and Panthers had never met before and heading into their seventh meeting, the Racers trail 4-2 and lost the only game played in Murray in 2024.
The Racers are 11-1 at home this season with their only loss to Illinois State 70-65 on Jan. 28.
