On Saturday, in year three of their journey through the Missouri Valley Conference, Murray State played, arguably, their biggest game yet when they hooked up with Belmont for sole possession of first place in the Valley. The Bruins ultimately grabbed the win, 96-89, but the Racers left Nashville knowing they officially belong among the elite in the conference.
