February 15, 201511 yr What a test for the Racers. Down 10 with just over 5 minutes left, the Racers are able to get the game into overtime. TJ Sapp hits 3 free throws with 2.6 seconds left in regulation. From there it was back and forth in overtime. Murray State has now won 21 in a row. The Racers next game will be Saturday when they host Austin Peay and that game will be televised by the CBS sports network. They clinched the OVC regular season title with the victory over SEMO.
February 15, 201511 yr With the win, the Racers are guaranteed no worse than a spot in the NIT this season.

February 15, 201511 yr Is that your prognostication, or is there some rule about this that I may have missed? The OVC regular season conference champion gets an NIT bid automatically if they lose in the tournament and don't get an NCAA bid.

February 16, 201511 yr I have no clue how they pulled out that one. Payne was rolling but saddled with foul trouble all game before fouling out at the 2:30 mark. He still finished with 26. It's questionable if Sapp should have went to the line, but SEMO waited too late to foul up 3.
February 17, 201511 yr This also clinched the overall #1 seed for the OVC tournament. Racers will play the early game on Friday.
