What to Know

The Murray State Racers are 13-0 against the SIU-Edwardsville Cougars since January of 2016, and they'll have a chance to extend that success this past Saturday. The Racers and SIU-Edwardsville will face off in an Ohio Valley battle at 8 p.m. ET at CFSB Center. MSU is out to keep their 12-game home win streak alive.

While not quite a landslide, the contest between MSU and the Austin Peay Governors this past Thursday was still a pretty decisive one as MSU wrapped it up with a 65-53 win on the road.

Meanwhile, SIU-Edwardsville was within striking distance but couldn't close the gap last week as they fell 68-63 to Austin Peay.

MSU is the favorite in this one, with an expected 20-point margin of victory. Those burned by picking them against the spread this past Thursday might want to keep in mind that the team has not yet dropped back-to-back games against the spread this season.

Murray State's victory lifted them to 21-2 while SIU-Edwardsville's defeat dropped them down to 7-15. We'll see if MSU can repeat their recent success or if SIU-Edwardsville bounces back and reverse their fortune.
