Despite numerous chances late, Murray State couldn’t convert offensively and fell short, ending the season with a 68-65 overtime loss to Jacksonville State.
Neither team got off to a good start, both struggling to tickle the twine with a 2-9 start from the field. The two began a back-and-forth battle all throughout the first half, earning their baskets with tough defense from both sides.
It wasn’t until a 10-1 run in the middle of the second half from the Racers that either team was able to create any distance or momentum in the game. Capped off by a three from junior guard Tevin Brown, that run gave Murray State a 28-22 lead.
