Murray State may have come away with a dominant 20-plus victory over SIUE in its final home game of the season, but they also suffered what could be a tremendous loss.
The Racers were up a commanding 46-21 over the Cougars, getting ready to head into the locker room with 44 seconds left in the first half, but before they could prepare for the second half of play, an attempt at a rebound changed the atmosphere of the game instantly.
With 28 seconds left in the first half, sophomore forward Demond Robinson went up for a rebound and the back of his left leg made contact with another player. The result was what looked like a gruesome injury that could be a serious setback for Robinson and the Racers heading into the last week of the regular season.

The Racers made it four straight wins on Monday, Feb. 15, dominating Southern Illinois University-Edwardsville with an offensive showcase en route to a 86-57 win.
Murray State wasted no time getting to work, jumping out to a 4-5 start offensively to take an 11-5 lead with 16:15 left in the first half.
After a post hook from sophomore forward Demond Robinson and a technical foul was issued to Robinson for jawing at the opposing team, the Racers ramped up the intensity on both ends.
