After winning their first two games of the season, Murray State moves up to the top spot in the ‘Others Receiving Votes’ category in this week’s CollegeInsider.com Mid-Major Top 25 poll.
Gonzaga is once again #1 in the poll, picking up 27 of a possible 31 first-place votes. #2 Saint Mary’s and #3 Liberty picked up the other first-place votes.
There are four Missouri Valley Conference schools in the Top 25 this week: #8 Northern Iowa, #10 Illinois State, #17 Belmont and #20 Bradley.
Along with that quartet of teams, the Racers will also play #6 Akron and #22 McNeese later this season.
Murray State will play their most challenging non-conference game of the season Tuesday night when they take on SMU in Dallas.
