Joining Gaines in double figures were Xavier Moon (17) and Anthony Elechi (10), but 11 different Eagles scored against the Saints (21-13). Morehead led by one point (44-43) at the half, led by as many as eight points in the second half, and Head Coach Sean Woods’ team picked up their first postseason win since 2011.

MSU is idle until Monday, March 21st, when they play the winner of Wednesday’s game between Duquesne and Omaha. The Eagles’ win gives the OVC three, 20-win teams.

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.
