It all started Jan. 2 at Murray State.
The Morehead State men's basketball team ended a long losing streak to the Racers in games in Murray and started what is currently a nine-game winning streak. The Eagles will look to continue their success Thursday when Murray State visits for the second game in the season series.
Tipoff at Johnson Arena is set for 7 p.m. ET.

Murray has won three of its last four games and has scored 70 or more in six straight. The Eagles (13-6/10-2 OVC) will also be looking for the first season sweep over the Racers since 2002-03.
