The Murray State Racers are set to take on the San Francisco Dons on Thursday at 9:40 EST. Murray State is going to be coming in as a number nine seed after finishing 30-2 in the regular season, while San Francisco will be coming in at 24-9 and a number 10 seed. Usually, these 7-10 games are some of the best of the first round, so don’t expect any different here. Murray State has proven that they can be one of the best teams in the country when they’re on their game, but the San Francisco Dons aren’t a team that can be slept on.

Murray State vs San Francisco Preview
This game will be played in a neutral arena. Both teams are going to look to advance to the second round of the NCAA March Madness Tournament.
Murray State Is Legit
The Murray State Racers might be the most disrespected team in the entire country. This team won 30 games this season and did so in a decent mid-major conference as they play in the Ohio Valley Conference.
After winning the conference tournament, and winning 30 games on the season, Murray State was somehow given a number seven seed. They went 18-0 in the conference and also had impressive wins in non-conference play.
They’re going to be coming into this one after beating the Morehead State Eagles in their conference tournament by four points. Tevin Brown was able to lead the way with 23 points for the Racers.
Don’t Sleep On The Dons
The San Francisco Dons of the West Coast Conference are looking to prove to everybody that they can compete with anybody in the country. San Francisco has some tough games throughout the regular season, as they had to take on both Gonzaga and St Mary’s multiple times. San Francisco wasn’t able to beat either of these teams, but in all the games that these teams did play, San Francisco did compete.
It is somewhat questionable why they did get a spot in the March Madness Tournament, but most of the reason for that is they’ve been consistent all season and competed against some of the better teams in the country.
They’re going to try to prove that they belong in this tournament and if they want to do so, guys like Khalil Shabazz are really going to have to step up for this Dons’ team.

Free March Madness Picks — Murray State vs San Francisco
For this game, I like the Murray State Racers to cover the spread. I think that Murray State is one of the most disrespected teams in the entire country, and I also think that they could potentially make a deep run in this tournament.
They have proven throughout the regular season that they can get wins in any setting. Whether it be a close defensive game or a shootout, the Racers just know how to win.
