((HT: Murray State Athletics))
The last time the HQ saw Murray State head coach Chris Hatcher was a few years back when he was having ups and downs in Statesboro, Georgia at Georgia Southern. Now, he has taken his high-powered, heavy-speed offense to Murray, Kentucky as the head coach of the OVC's Murray State Racers.
Yesterday, Murray hosted Kentucky Wesleyan and did what Hatch's teams are supposed to do- score a lot of points.
45 unanswered in the second half and 86 overall in an 86-29 win over the visitors.
Surprisingly, the Racers only had 720 yards of total offense on Saturday. Three special teams scores (2 on kickoffs and one on a punt return) also helped the cause.
Murray QB KD Humphries found nine different receivers and threw for 2 scores. Pokey Harris had 10 carries for 184 yards to lead the 408 yard attack for the home team.
Here's the highlights
With some postgame from the head coach...
Hatch's old record for points at Murray was 83 set a few years back.

Murray State Guard Accused Of Running Into People- In A Bad Way
((HT: WPSDLocal6/Paducah, KY))
Murray State basketball player Zay Jackson appeared in court to answer to charges of assault from Sunday.
Allegedly, Jackson was in a Wal-Mart where Jackson allegedly assaulted two people with his car. The victims suffered minor injuries.
The judge reduced each of Jackson's two counts of 1st degree assault to 2nd degree assault, and his bond was also lowered to $15,000. He remained in jail as of Monday afternoon.
Jackson's preliminary hearing is set for September 26th...
Murray State Athletic Director Allen Ward released the standard, brief statement stating that they are aware of what happened and are not commenting further...
Of course...
It was the lead story in Paducah...
Murray State released the following statement from head coach Steve Prohm: “I was disappointed and surprised to learn of the incident on Sunday involving Zay. I will continue to work with the authorities to gather and evaluate the facts as quickly as I can to get a clearer picture of what actually happened. Until that time, Zay has been suspended from all team activities. There is a standard of conduct I expect from all my players, and from what I know at this point, that standard was compromised. I will support Zay in his efforts to make this right, but I anticipate this matter will take time to fully resolve."

The Politics Of Dancing: Three Tickets Punched For NCAA Tournament
First UNC-Asheville makes it back to back appearances to the big dance defeating VMI 80-64. Here are the highlights. (Thanks ESPN)
They call it "One for the Thumb" at Belmont. The Bruins had to rally against Florida Gulf Coast but overcame the Eagles to win the A-Sun Tournament final 83-69. Here are the highlights from Macon, GA. (Thanks Atlanticsun.org)
Finally Murray State didn't have to cash in their at-large chips. The Racers defeated Tennessee State 54-52 to win the Ohio Valley Conference Tournament championship. Here's a full report our friends at WPSD-TV Paducah, KY.

Tennessee State Ends Murray State's Undefeated Season
The mid-major darling this college basketball season is Murray State. The Racers had run off 23 straight wins to open the 2011-12 season and ranked in the Top 10. Murray State is #9 in this weeks Associated Press poll.
Thursday night the Racers looked to keep the undefeated run alive taking on Tennessee State on Murray State's home court.
TSU was up for the challenge and shocked the Racers 72-68 to end Murray State's hopes of an undefeated regular season.
Here's a full report from Murray, KY. (Thanks WSPD-TV)
"I'm very proud of our young men to be able to come here and win on the road," Tennessee State head coach John Cooper said in a press conference after the game. "It is certainly not an easy place to play, a packed house and a team that just stuck to it. There was a point where we were down 12 points in the second half but yet, and still for whatever reason, we hung in there."
It was the first time the TSU Tigers had defeated a nationally ranked program. The win also ensured Tennessee State would have their first winning season since 1995.
As for Murray State, expect the Racers to take a significant fall in the polls, such is life as a mid-major losing the a conference rival.
It also puts pressure on the Racers to defeat Saint Mary's February 18th. Saint Mary's has a high RPI and that would make an impression on the NCAA Tournament Selection Committee should the Racers stumble again, especially in the OVC post season tournament.
The rest of Murray State schedule features teams with low RPI's.
After the recent Final Four runs by mid-majors Butler and Virginia Commonwealth a run by a middie receives more attention.
Is Murray State that mid-major that will capture the nations attention in March? The Racers 23 game winning run put them in the spotlight.
