Match Details
- Date: 2025-11-03
- Time: 6:30 PM UTC
- Location: Murray State University
Game Overview
Murray State Racers host the Omaha Mavericks in a non-conference NCAAB matchup. Both teams are starting their seasons, with Murray State favored at home.
Key Factors to Consider
- Murray State finished last season strong, with a solid MVC record and a top-75 KenPom profile. Omaha struggled in Summit League play, ranking outside the top 200 in adjusted efficiency. Early season form is unknown, but Murray State's returning core gives them a clear edge in experience and depth.
- No recent H2H matchups between these programs. First meeting in over a decade, so no meaningful historical trends.
- No major injuries reported for either team as of pre-season. Both squads are expected to be at full strength for opening night.
- Murray State plays in a strong home environment with passionate fan support. Omaha is traveling cross-country, facing a significant time zone change and early-season rust.
- Murray State is motivated to build on last year's success and make a statement in non-conference play. Omaha is looking to prove themselves against a higher-level opponent but may be overmatched in their opener.
