SE Missouri State @ #25 Murray State – 8pm ET

Ohio Valley Conference Tournament- Semifinals

Conference tournament season is here and this Ohio Valley Conference tournament semifinal is the first chance for a team to potentially steal a bid. As a win or loss, Murray State is likely in the NCAA tournament. 

Marko Nadin

The Murray State Racers have had a great regular season finishing on top of the OVC with a 28-2 record and a perfect 15-0 at home. They are ranked 25th in the country and will go to the NCAA tournament even if they fail to win the OVC. They are huge favorites in the conference semifinal games against Southeast Missouri State. Murray State has won the last 10 games against the Redhawks, most recently 70-68 in the last regular-season game. That was the only game in the last ten in which Murray State didn’t defeat the Redhawks while covering the spread.

The Southeast Missouri State Redhawks finished the season 4th in the OVC and made it to the semifinal game after defeating Tennessee State 79-55. They are playing in a good form lately as they have won 3 of the last 4 games mainly because of the guard Eric Reed Jr. who is averaging 16 points per game for the season and 23 in the last five games. Despite being close to winning last week against Murray State, this time the Racers will get the job done much easier.

Tony Battalio

Southeast Missouri State comes into this game after defeating Tennessee State in the Ohio Valley Conference Quarterfinals. After nearly beating Murray State in the regular-season finale, they now have another crack at it on a much bigger stage as a trip to the OVC conference tournament finals and a potential NCAA tournament bid will be on the line. Southeastern Missouri State comes into this game with a record of 14-17 on the season. They will have to make a miracle run if they want to play in the NCAA tournament this season. 

Murray State is likely going to the NCAA tournament no matter what happens over the next few days. If they don’t win the Ohio Valley Conference automatic bid it is fair to say they still deserve an at-large bid due to their impressive season. They are currently ranked 25th in the country coming into this one as well. Murray State has a record of 28-2 on the year. As for the result of this game I have Murray State getting the win and moving on to the Ohio Valley Conference tournament finals for a chance at an automatic bid to the NCAA tournament.

Noah Dunlap

Win or lose in this Ohio Valley Conference semifinal, and the Murray State Racers are going dancing this year. They’ve been one of the best mid-majors in the nation, sitting at 28-2 on the year, and they haven’t lost since December 15 against the Auburn Tigers. They’ve won 18 straight, as they went undefeated through OVC play this season. Now they take on a Southeastern Missouri State team that they’ve already taken down twice this season, including a tight two-point win in the regular-season finale.

While the RedHawks kept that regular-season finale close, that doesn’t mean they’re a very good team by any means. They enter at 14-17, which, coming out of the OVC certainly isn’t all that impressive, and now they take on the best team in the league, in a game that they should be excited for. I think Murray State comes into this one motivated, not only due to it being a conference semifinal but also because this same team almost ended their perfect conference record in the last game of the year. SE Missouri State doesn’t get anywhere near that close in this one, as the Racers run away in a hurry.
