Projection: likely out
Murray State's current resume is concerning given their mixed performance against varying levels of competition and a shaky overall record. The losses to Pittsburgh and Utah Valley highlight struggles in tight situations, especially the narrow defeat against a solid Utah Valley team, which could raise questions about their ability to close games. The upcoming matches against mid-major opponents like Nebraska and Belmont will be critical; winning those could boost their standing significantly. However, with several challenging contests ahead, including games against Bradley and Drake, the Racers will need to show marked improvement in both offensive consistency and defensive resilience to solidify their tournament aspirations.
