RACER TRENDS/FACTSThe Racers are into post season play for the second time in Steve Prohm’s three seasons. In 2011-12, the Racers were the final undefeated team in the nation at 23-0 and eventually went 31-2 losing only one game from making the NCAA Sweet 16 against Marquette. MSU went 21-10 in 2012-13 and didn’t compete in any post-season. This season, the Racers made the semifinals of the OVC Tournament but lost 86-83 to Eastern Kentucky in Nashville (March 7).

The Racers have met the Bears twice and once as recently as the 2011 NIT when MSU lost to Missouri State at JQH Arena 73-64. The game was the final game for Head Coach Billy Kennedy who took the same job at Texas A&M shortly after. Steve Prohm, who had been with Kennedy for 13 seasons as an assistant coach,

was named the head coach of the Racers. Prohm has since gone on to win a record 70 games for a Racer coach in his first three seasons.

The Racers are facing a team from the Missouri Valley Conference for the 106th time. MSU is 52-53 (.495) all-time against current members of the MVC. The Racers have played Evansville more than anyone with 34 meetings. MSU has never met Northern Iowa and has faced Drake, Illinois State, Loyola and Wichita State only one time each.

By accepting a spot in the CIT, The Racers still have a shot at their fifth straight 20-win season and the third straight under Coach Prohm. Entering the season, the Racers had tied the

only other four-straight 20-win run that was set between 1996-2000. If MSU can get to 20, Prohm will match Ron Greene and Steve Newton with three 20-win seasons. Carlisle Cutchin is MSU’s all-time leader with four 20-win seasons. Prohm would also be the only MSU coach to begin his career with three straight 20-win seasons.

Williams & Payne. They might be mistaken for a law firm! But the Racers’ 1-2 punch of Jarvis Williams and Cameron Payne is playing at a high level these days. They’ve been awarded OVC Newcomer and Freshman of the Week in the same week six times this season. Both Racer stars set Murray State records. Williams was OVC Newcomer seven times, topping the five awards that B.J. Jenkins received in the 2009-10 season and the four Maurice Cannon had in 1991-92. Williams tied the OVC record of seven by Jacksonville State’s Trenton Marshall in 2009-10. Payne, who earned the

award for the nine times this season, passed Lamont Sleets who had four awards in 1979-80. The OVC record of 11 is held by Matt Witt of Eastern Kentucky in 2002-03.

MSU played it’s final home game of the season (Feb. 22) in a 69-58 win over Morehead State. The day was a great send-off for MSU’s only senior Dexter Fields. MSU has an 11-game win streak on their home court which they’ll carry into the 2014-15 season. MSU was 13-1 at home this season with their lone loss coming to Middle Tennessee 80-62 (Nov. 26). MSU also went undefeated at home (8-0) in OVC play for the first time since the 2009-10 season when they were 9-0. MSU has league wins over: SEMO, UTM, Austin Peay,

2013-14 MURRAY STATE MEN’S BASKETBALLGoRacers.com / @MSURacers / @RacersHoops

Tennessee Tech, Jacksonville State, SIUE, Eastern Illinois and Morehead State. MSU’s margin of victory in those games was 15.3 points. MSU’s largest win was 39 points over TTU (Jan. 23). MSU’s closest win was by seven points (Jan. 2) in their OVC opener against SEMO.

Murray State’s consecutive winning seasons streak is now 27 straight after the Racers overcame a 2-5 start to go 16-5 the rest of the way. MSU is in lofty company with Syracuse who is now at 44 straight. Kansas, Arizona have moved to 31 and 30 straight. The Racers remain tied with UConn at 27 as the Huskies also have a winning season. After a losing season (13-15) in 1986-87, Steve Newton started the run in the 1987-88 season and has been followed by Scott Edgar, Mark Gottfried, Tevester Anderson, Mick Cronin, Billy Kennedy and now Steve Prohm.

MSU Head Coach Steve Prohm is one of the most successful coaches in all of college basketball and he has done a lot in only three seasons. The Racers are 70-23 (.752) in the last three seasons under Prohm. MSU is 93-32 (.744) in the last four seasons and 124-37 (.770) in the last five. In the OVC, MSU is 38-10 (.791) under Coach Prohm. 52-14 (.787) and 69-15 (.821) in the last four and five seasons.

MSU’s Jarvis Williams is again in the group of NCAA D-I players that are averaging a double-double. Williams had 13 double-doubles this season to rank second in the OVC to the 14 that Tennessee State’s M.J. Rhett had and behind national leader Jerrelle Benimon of Towson who has 21 this season. Williams is trying to follow Ed Daniel who averaged a double-double with 13.2 points and 10.0 rebounds per game in 2012-13.

Williams continues to move up the career list at Murray State for double-doubles. Jarvis has proven in a short period of time that he is one of the best rebounders to ever come through MSU. But any talk of double-doubles must start with the great Popeye Jones (1988-92). The Racers all-time rebounder and fourth all-time scorer had 77 double-doubles. His streak of (17) is the longest in Racer history in records that go back to 1982.

Cameron Payne has moved into fourth place on the MSU single season assist list with 159. Cam will move into third place if he can catch Chad Townsend who had 171 in the 1997-98 season. Don Mann is second on the list with 172 in 1988-89. Townsend had the top assist season with 212 in 1996-97.

Maybe Aubrey Reese’s magic rubbed off on Payne? At Austin Peay (Jan. 31), the former Racer All-OVC guard was in the gym when Payne dished out 12 assists. Payne’s 12 assists was his career-high and he was the first Racer since Reese to have 12 in a game. Reese did it twice in 1999.

For the second time this season, the Racers had three players with 20 points. Against Belmont (Feb. 6) MSU had Payne (29), Williams (21) & Sapp (20). MSU also did it (Jan. 5) against UT Martin with Payne (27), Moss & Williams (20). Last season when MSU did it with Canaan (32), Wilson (21) & Daniel (20) at Lipscomb 11-26-12, it marked the first time since 2-6-97 that MSU had pulled it off. In that 1997 instance, DT Mayes (23), Vincent Rainey (21) & Chad Townsend (21) all scored 20 against Southeast Missouri.

In the SEMO game (March 1) the Racers had an amazing four players with 20 points, but that did come in 50

minutes of play when the game went to a second overtime.

MSU’s only senior Dexter Fields hit a career-high five 3-pointers twice. He did it at Belmont (Feb. 6) and also at Austin Peay (Jan. 31).

Jeffery Moss had a streak of 22 made free throws end at EIU (Jan. 16). The all-time MSU mark came in the 1989-90 season when Greg Coble made 33 in a row.

Jeffery Moss tied the MSU record for a single game free throw percentage against UTM (Jan. 5) when he was 14-of-14. He joins Jeffery McClain who did the same against St. Catharine (11-29-08) and Don Duncan against Oglethorpe (12-13-1966).

The Racers have had two games this season with two players getting a double-double. Jarvis Williams (23pts/13reb) and Jonathan Fairell (12pts/11reb) did it against Bethel (Nov. 19). Williams (28pts/14reb) teamed with Cameron Payne (12pts/12a) at Austin Peay (Jan. 31).

The Racers were down 36-28 at EIU (Jan. 16) and came back to win the second half 42-30 and the game 70-66. It marked the first time this season that MSU had come back to win after trailing in six tries.When MSU can get to the 80-point mark they’re 9-3 this season. MSU’s 92 points (Jan. 23) against Tennessee Tech was a point better than the 91 they scored against SEMO (Jan. 2). MSU’s 96-point game (Feb. 6) at Belmont marked MSU’s first loss when getting more than 80. MSU has scored back-to-back 86-point games vs Austin Peay (Jan. 31) and Belmont (Feb. 6). The last time that happened was

under Coach Mick Cronin in 2005 when MSU won at home 92-40 over Morehead State (12-10-05) and at Jacksonville State (12-19-05) 91-72. MSU also lost at SEMO (March 1) when they scored 115 points, but it wasn’t enough. MSU scored 83 (March 7) in the OVC semifinals against EKU, but couldn’t pull out the win.

The win at EKU (Jan. 8) marked the Racers’ first road win of the season after they played a brutal pre-OVC schedule at schools like Valparaiso, Saint Mary’s, Auburn, Western Kentucky and Dayton. The victory at EKU marked the 60th win for Head Coach Steve Prohm as he reached that total in only 79 games. Already the fastest to 50 wins in MSU history, Prohm is also the fastest to 60 just ahead of Mick Cronin, Mark Gottfried and Tevester Anderson who all made it to 60 in 82 games.

Jarvis Williams tied a CFSB Center record with 18 rebounds against SEMO (Jan. 2). James Singleton had two 18 rebound games both against Eastern Illinois in 2002 and 2003. The opponent’s record in the 16 seasons

at the CFSB Center is also 18 rebounds by Nick Murphy of Jacksonville State in 2008. Williams’ 18 rebounds against SEMO was 14th at MSU in records that date back to 1982. Ed Daniel had an 18 board game last season at Lipscomb. The great Popeye Jones, MSU’s all-time rebounder, shows up a lot with 11 of the top 16 single game performances. His 23 rebound effort against Morehead State in 1991 is tops.

T.J. Sapp has been eligible to play following his transfer from Clemson. (Dec. 17) when the Racers hosted Southern Illinois. Sapp has been the microwave producing instant offense in averaging 14.7 points per game. Sapp doesn’t start but is making a big impact playing starter minutes. Sapp was the OVC

Newcomer of the Week (Dec. 22) and the first for a Racer since B.J. Jenkins won five of the weekly awards in the 2009-10 season. Sapp had 25 points including five 3-pointers against WKU (Dec. 21) and a debut of 15 points against SIU (Dec. 17). In that SIU game, Sapp scored 15 points in only 17 minutes of playing time.

The Racers have found some great transfer players that fit into the program well over the last several seasons. Isaac Miles joined MSU in 2008 from Creighton and was a three-time All-OVC selection. B.J. Jenkins came

to MSU from Liberty in 2009 and earned two All-OVC honors. Utah Transfer Justin Seymour is with the Racers currently and will have three seasons to play starting in the 2014-15 school year.

The Racers were very glad to get the win (Dec. 4) over Evansville, which marked their first win this season against a NCAA D-I team after starting 0-5. The win also snapped the Racers’ first three-game losing skid since 2008. The win for MSU marked the first time in three years that they won a game when trailing when the clock ticked to five minutes in the second half. The last win in that spot for MSU was against Eastern Kentucky on the road (12-02-10) when they pulled out a 74-72 win.

MSU’s 2010 NCAA Tournament upset win over Vanderbilt was the next most recent win in that scenario. Jarvis Williams has two perfect games from the field this season. He was 9-of-9 from the field (Jan. 8) at Eastern Kentucky marking the first Racer to do that since Ivan Aska was 9-of-9 against Mo.-St. Louis in 2009. He was 7-of-7 at Belmont (Feb. 6). The MSU record (since 1998) for the best game from the field is 10-of-10 by Cuthbert Victor and James Singleton who did it in 2001 and 2003 against Tennessee State. For Victor, his big game happened on his birthday on Jan. 30, 2001.

Freshman Jeff Martin and his father Jeff Martin Sr. are one of the rare instances of a Father-Son combination in the history of Racer Basketball. The young Martin scored his first points in his first appearance (Nov. 12) at home against Bethel. 9,009 days or 24 years, 7 months and 29 days had passed between father and son scoring. Jeff Sr., who just happens to be MSU’s all-time scorer with 2,484 points scored his final point March 15, 1989 against Penn State as MSU faced the Nitany Lions in the NIT. Of course, this makes Jeff and Jeff MSU’s all-time scoring Father & Son duo. Another Father-Son combo that comes to mind is Ron Greene and his son David. Ron is the only player at MSU to also be head coach. Ron played for Cal Luther from 1960-62 and coached from 1978-85. David was on the Racer roster in 1998-99.Cameron Payne’s 21 points in the season opener Valparaiso (Nov. 8) made him the first MSU freshman to score 20 points in a game since Isaiah Canaan did it (2-27-10) with 22 points at Eastern Kentucky. Antoine Whelchel was the last Racer to debut with a 20-point game (11-20-00) with 27 points and 12 rebounds against Gardner Webb.

Head Coach Steve Prohm, in his third season with the Racers, came into the season ranked high among accomplishments for any coach in NCAA D-I through their first two seasons. Prohm, the fastest MSU coach to 50 victories, joined Tevester Anderson as the only MSU coaches to win at least 20 games in their first two seasons. Prohm ranked 11th all-time among his NCAA D-I peers in making it to 50 wins in only 59 games. Additionally, he was eighth all-time with 52 wins in his first two seasons as head coach.

Former Racers All-America Isaiah Canaan who has spent three segments with the Houston Rockets this season, was named to the NBA D-League All-Star game, but didn’t play because of an injury. Canaan was joined on the all-star team by teammate and former Tennessee State star Robert Covington. Canaan and Covington were two of five NBADL all-stars that were also on NBA rosters.

Canaan has performed well the Rio Grande Valley Vipers when he hasn’t been with the Rockets. As of March 4, he was scoreing 18.2 points per game and dishing out 8.2 assists. In 18 games he was averaging 34.1 minutes per game and shooting 43 percent from the

field, 36 percent from 3-point land and 81 percent from the free throw line. Canaan was a second round pick of the 2013 NBA Draft by the Rockets.

CAMERON PAYNE & JARVIS WILLIAMS NAMED ALL-OVCMurray State’s Cameron Payne and Jarvis Williams earned All-Ohio Valley Conference honors in voting by the league’s head coaches and sports information directors.

Payne was named the OVC Freshman of the Year and All-OVC First Team while Williams was named All-OVC Second Team. Both were also selected for the All-OVC Newcomer Team.

“I’m very pleased to see Cameron and Jarvis recognized by our league for the way they performed this season,” MSU Head Coach Steve Prohm said. “They’re both very deserving of this honor and we’re all very proud of them. Both have handled themselves with humility all season.”

Cameron Payne – G, 6-2, Fr., Bartlett, Tenn.Payne made his debut at MSU with a 21-point showing in the season opener at Valparaiso (Nov. 8). It was the best debut since Antoine Whelchel scored 27 against Gardner Webb in 2000. Early in the season he became the first Racer freshman to have two 20-point games since Ivan Aska did it in 2008-09.

Payne follows former Racers Ivan Aska (2008-09) and Isaiah Canaan (2009-10) who were also named OVC Freshman of the Year.

“Cameron ranks up there with the other outstanding freshman we’ve had in our program,” Prohm added. “The progress he made since coming on campus in July has been impressive. I’m looking forward to a bright future for him.”

Payne has consistently ranked among the top in the OVC in scoring, assists and steals. He enters this week’s OVC Tournament ranked seventh in scoring (17.5 points per game), second in assists (5.6) and seventh in steals (1.5). He ranks third in the nation among freshmen assisters.

Payne, out of Lausanne Collegiate School, had his first MSU double-double against Austin Peay (Jan. 31) with 12 points and 12 assists. His best scoring game was 29 points (Feb. 6) at Belmont. Against Eastern Kentucky (Jan. 8), Payne had a big game with 19 points, seven rebounds, five asssists, three blocked shots and three steals.

Payne set the MSU record and was two off the OVC single-season record with nine OVC Freshman of the Week awards.

Jarvis Williams – F, 6-7, Jr., Macon, Ga.Williams tied the OVC single-season record with seven Newcomer of the Week awards as he proved to be one of the best front court players in the conference.

“Jarvis has played at a high level and showed a tremendous amount of toughness all season,” Prohm said. “He made a huge impact on our team this season and is very deserving of this honor.”

Williams, a junior who came to MSU from Gordon State College, had 13 double-doubles and 16 games with 10 or more rebounds. He ranks 17th nationally in double-doubles. His top rebound game was 18 against Southeast Missouri (Jan. 2) which tied the CFSB Center record. He also had two perfect shooting games this season of 9-of-9 against Eastern Kentucky (Jan. 8) and 7-of-7 against Belmont (Feb. 6).

He ranks second in the OVC and eighth nationally with 10.4 rebounds per game and is second in the nation with a field goal percentage of 63 percent. His 14.3 points per game average ranks 12th in the OVC.

Williams’ high scoring game was 28 points against Austin Peay (Jan. 31) when he was 12-of-16 from the field. Against SEMO (March 1) he played 49 of a possible 50 minutes in the double overtime game with 25 points and 15 rebounds.

MSU’s All-OVC pair leads the Racers into the OVC Tournament this week in Nashville. MSU is the No. 2 seed and will play Friday at 9 p.m. in the semifinals at Municipal Auditorium.

HEAD COACH STEVE PROHMSteve Prohm enters his third season at Murray State with eyes to claim the Ohio Valley Conference championship and get back to the NCAA Tournament where MSU has played 15 times with the last coming in 2012 during his rookie season.

Taking over for mentor Billy Kennedy, Prohm has been a key component in one of MSU’s greatest periods. Even before the historic 2011-12 season, he was an assistant in 2009-10 when MSU went 29-5 and beat Vanderbilt in the NCAA’s first round. With Prohm on the bench, MSU also played post-season ball in 2011 when they participated in the National Invitation Tournament. As a rookie coach in the 2011-12 season, Prohm led MSU to a historic 31-2 run that included a No. 6 seed in the NCAA Tournament and 13 weeks of the Racers being ranked in the national polls. MSU spent time in the top-10 and were the final undefeated team in the country at 23-0. MSU beat Colorado State in the NCAA Tournament before dropping a physical game to Marquette for a spot in the Sweet 16. Prohm was named OVC Coach of the Year, Basketball Times National Coach of the Year and the winner of the Joe B. Hall Award.

Prohm, the fastest MSU coach to 50 victories, joins Tevester Anderson as the only MSU coaches to win at least 20 games in their first two seasons. Prohm ranks 11th all-time among his NCAA D-I peers in making 50 wins in only 59 games. Additionally, he’s eighth all-time with 52 wins in his first two seasons as head coach.

He was introduced as the 15th head coach in MSU Basketball history on May 23, 2011, promoted after serving as an assistant coach between 2006-11 (5 seasons) under Billy Kennedy, who became head coach at Texas A&M University.

Prohm was associated with Coach Kennedy for 12 seasons, which include stops at Southeastern Louisiana University (1999-2005) and Centenary University (1998-99). Prohm also served as assistant coach at Tulane University during the 2005-06 season.

Prohm graduated from the University of Alabama in 1997 with a degree in education. He worked as a student assistant coach and student manager at Alabama under head coach David Hobbs for five years, which included two NCAA Tournament appearances and one trip to the NIT Final Four.

The Vienna, Va., native attended high school at Northwest Whitfield High in Tunnel Hill, Ga. Prohm and the former Katie Ross are newlyweds and were married in Paducah, Ky., on June 1, 2013.

MSU goes for five straight 20-win seasonsThe Racers enter the 2013-14 season looking for their fifth straight 20-win season. MSU is tied with the teams that did the same from 1996-00 under coaches Mark Gottfried and Tevester Anderson. The current four-season run has been accomplished under Billy Kennedy and the last two seasons by Steve Prohm. The Racers are averaging 26.5 wins per season during the current streak, while the first streak had an average of 24.7.

Racers secure its 27th straight winning seasonThe most significant accomplishment for Murray State Basketball is its streak of winning seasons that is now 27. The Racers clinched it at home in an 82-72 win (Feb. 13) over SIUE. Syracuse leads the nation with 44 straight, followed by Kansas at 31, Arizona at 30 and then the Racers and Connecticut each have 26. Kentucky has 24 and Gonzaga sits at 23.

Coaches Mark Gottfried (now at NC State) and Tevester Anderson were the coaches.
