About Murray State
Murray State enters Saturday with an 11-16 record and 4-11 in OVC action. In their final home game of the season, the Racers defeated Morehead State 84-81. Five players scored in double figures, led by Nikia Edom with 17 points.
 
Of active players, Taylor Porter leads the squad with 10.9 points per game followed by Janssen Starks with 10.6 and Jessica Winfrey with 10.4 points per game. Winfrey is the OVC's leading rebounder at 10.4 rebounds per game.
 
The Racers are 3-2 in their last five games after losing seven-straight over the span of a month. The losing streak began the game Murray State lost its leading scorer Keiona Kirby to injury, who averaged 18.3 points per game.
 
Last Meeting
The Redhawks could not hold onto a halftime lead, falling 66-55 just over a week ago in Murray, Ky. Freshman Taylor Porter scored 25 points against Southeast while the Redhawks couldn't get any in double figures.
 
Series History
The series over the years has been very even, as neither team has had a dominating stretch. The Redhawks own a 27-24 advantage and are 2-1 in the last three meetings.
 
How Do We Make the OVC Tourney?
For the Redhawks to make the OVC Tournament, Southeast has to beat Murray State AND have SIU Edwardsville, Austin Peay and Morehead State lose on Saturday. That sets up a tiebreaker scenario that the Redhawks own, qualifying as the No. 8 seed. 
 
What a win will do
A win gives Southeast its first five-win conference season since winning 10 games in 2008-09.
 
A win would give Southeast its second-straight year where the Redhawks end the regular season with a victory.
 
Contrasting a Win vs. a Loss
In Southeast's eight wins, four Redhawks average double-digit scoring led by Jordan Hunter with 11.9 points per game. In contrast, no one on the Redhawks scores in double-digits in a loss. Shooting percentages also see a drastic change from 35.4 percent in a loss to 44.4 percent in a victory. Rebound margins go from a -1.4 to a +5.8.
 
Two-Straight Top-10's
After posting 270 rebounds last season, ranking as the seventh-most in school history for a single season, Patricia Mack has done it again. She currently has 266 rebounds, looking to surpass her total from a year ago.
single-season record book again.
 
Reigning OVC Player of the Week
Patricia Mack was named the OVC Player of the Week after averaging 11.7 points and 16.7 rebounds over three games. Her week was highlighted by a 21-rebound and 12 point performance against JSU and a 18-rebound 17-point output against TTU. It was the first weekly honor of her career.
 
Chasing the Record Book
Junior Allyson Bradshaw is making her mark in the record books. The Cape Girardeau native has made 124 3-point field goals in her career, which ranks her third all-time at Southeast. At her current pace of making 1.5 3-point field goals per game, Bradshaw should threaten to be the most prolific long-range shooter in Southeast history, chasing a total of 174 set by Julie Meier from 1991-95.
 
Mack is climbing the record book at Southeast as well. As of Feb. 28, the senior ranks third in school history with 491 rebounds. Gray C Harris is next in line with 872 career rebounds from1992-96.
