Murray State (18-6, 11-1) at Austin Peay (16-9, 10-2) – 9:00 PM EST (ESPNU)
Tonight’s UTR Game of the Day takes place in Clarksville, Tennessee where the Governors of Austin Peay will host the Murray State Racers in a matchup of the top two teams in the Ohio Valley Conference. The Govs started out league play with a ten game winning streak, but they came up shorthanded last week when they were swept on their Nashville road trip at Belmont and Tennessee State last week. Terry Taylor is averaging a double-double (22.3 PPG/10.4 RPG) in all games for Austin Peay this year.
Much like their aforementioned travel partners, Murray State also started the season 10-0 in the OVC. While the Racers had their streak snapped at Belmont (also bringing the Bruins within 2 games of first place and a single game from 2nd place), they did win at Tennessee State 73-65 last Saturday. Tevin Brown had a game-high 28 points for the Racers in the previous victory. This will be the first of two matchups between these two teams; the return game will take place at Murray State for the final regular season game between both teams.
