Would you care to substantiate your "routine wins at SIU" with some data please?

I caution you to see the difference between a one off non-con game versus the grind of a double round robin.

I have no doubt that Murray State would be a good add and be successful but there is a learning curve when you make a step up in level.


Agreed, just pointing out that we aren't exactly chopped liver.

BTW, I don't think any of us can predict what the schools will ultimately vote to do behind closed doors. Programs tend to do what is good for their programs and not so much what is good for everyone else. We have seen that first hand in our dealings with the rest of the OVC.

How has Murray done post season since Belmont joined OVC?

Would you care to substantiate your "route wins at SIU" with some data please?

PS- if you would care to check, Murray State has an all time losing record against SIU, so it would be darned curious, how in the H Murray would routinely beat SIU in Carbondale, balls in your court though.

So, Murray wins against Evansville by 2 points in both 2013 and 2014 while having NBA players on the roster and Evansville had Mockevicius and Balentine. Evansville won in overtime by 4 in 2015 and then by 32 points in 2016 with both teams in rebuild years. Looks like a pretty even matchup. It's a good rivalry.

(Sources: MSU men's basketball record book; SIU men's basketball media guide)

In case anyone's wondering, Mirray State's all-time is:

25-12 vs. Evansville
17-17 vs. Southern Illinois
7-7 vs. Bradley
2-0 vs. Drake
3-1 vs. Illinois State
3-7 vs. Indiana State
2-1 vs. Missouri State
0-1 vs.Loyola (Ill.) [1964 NCAA Tournament]
0-0 vs. Northern Iowa

I really look forward to seeing these teams come to Murray.

Routine meaning its a fairly even series. Although I do believe the alltime series is even after last seasons OT win by SIU. Yes last seasons trip to Evansville want good. Ill admit that but check Murray's alltime series with Evansville. Pretty sure the Racers have more than double the amount of wins the aces have.
