Murray State Woes Continue
(St. Louis, MO) – After a tragic week of grief and loss in the Murray State program, a third blow happened Monday. Sophomore point guard Lawrent Rice has been released from the team. The 20-year-old Rice was arrested Sunday night. Four charges ranging from fourth degree assault, to first degree strangulation and first degree ‘criminal mischief’.
Murray State issued this official statement.
Lawrent Rice Released
According to various sources, Rice will be arraigned on Tuesday. Rice is no longer listed as an inmate at Calloway County Jail.
This announcement comes on the heels of two devastating deaths to people dear to the Racer basketball team and coach Steve Prohm. Racer fans were shocked and saddened by the passing of former assistant coach Amir Abdur-Rahim. Just days later, long time Racer fans heard about the passing of long time basketball supporter Larry Suiter. The X posts were just days apart, and were a double gut-punch to Prohm and Racer Nation.
We invite Valley fans everywhere to be praying for the Murray State basketball community during incredibly difficult times.
Do Good

Flooding, lightning strikes, etc. have cost @RacersHoops two home games. Had to play 'neutral site' tonight instead of at home and Wednesday's goes from home to away. Tough break for the Racers, and the whole area has been hit with difficulties. #FatherHarry
Murray State's scheduled home game Wednesday vs. Southern Illinois being moved to Banterra Center in Carbondale. #ValleyHoops
Gigantic game for @BradleyUMBB today in Des Moines. If they have a chance to catch @DrakeBulldogsMB, they have to win today. The Bulldogs can basically win the title today. @BustingBrackets breaks it all down. #FatherHarry https://bit.ly/3EGiVgi
Not rooting for any particular @ValleyHoops, but chaos is always fun. If things break certain ways, after today there could be a six-way tie for fifth place.
Fun to listen to @MLBLarry on the @SIU_Basketball/@BelmontMBB game tonight. Good job brother. #FatherHarry
