18-13, 13-7, 2nd place in the OVC.

WHAT WENT RIGHT
The Racers were right in the hunt for the regular-season OVC title until the final week of the season. Murray made steady improvement over the course of the season after a slow start in conference play, and was able to build solid depth, which will help it in 2008-09.

WHAT WENT WRONG
The Racers were plagued by inconsistent play at the end of the season, and they ran into the wrong team in the semifinals of the OVC Tournament. Murray was put out in the semifinals by Tennessee State, 83-75.

QUOTE TO NOTE
"It's unfortunate we didn't play well. Getting into foul trouble hurt us. We had to have different lineups out on the floor that we don't normally have." -- Murray coach Billy Kennedy told the Murray Ledger & Times after the Racers were elimianted by Tennessee State, 83-75, in the semifinals of the OVC Tournament.
