The Murray State Racers scored a 91-81 victory Friday night for their third straight over the Southern Illinois Salukis on their home floor.

The Racers (18-7) improved to 10-4 in the Missouri Valley Conference. 

Balanced scoring from the Racers carried the day. Fred King was one rebound shy of a double-double, while he and Roman Domon each scored 17 points. Javon Jackson scored 15 points, with MSU getting 14 from Layne Taylor and 12 from Mathis Courbon.

Four Salukis scored double figures: Quel'ron House 26; Rolyns Aligbe 18; Prince Aligbe 15; and Drew Steffe 10.

Trailing by eight points nearly eight minutes into the contest, the Racers finished the half to lead by nine points (43-34) at the intermission.

In the final four minutes of the first half and first four minutes of the second half, the Racers outscored SIU 22-11.

Murray State forged in front by 15 points in the second half. SIU managed to cut the lead to eight with a minute left, but never got any closer.

With the win, the Racers evened the all-time series with SIU at 23-23.

MSU is at home Monday for a rare 9 p.m. tip against Northern Iowa.
