MVC Quarterfinals vs. Murray State

[Manchester Matt]

It was a battle, but ISU holds off the Racers 75-73. Maya Wong hit a pair of free throws with 30.2 seconds left, and the Redbirds defense got a stop before running out the clock in the waning seconds.

Survive and advance!

Murray State looked much better than a #8 Seed.

Couldn't buy a shot in the 4th but got a huge stop to seal it

Agreed. ISU won a close one at Redbird, so I was a little concerned about this matchup. Couple big threes from Crompton in the fourth after a tough shooting day.

I wasn't able to watch the game. I thought we were going to be ok when I snuck a peak in the third quarter. Glad to see they pulled it out. As Manchester Matt said ... survive and advance!!

Murray played an awful final 30 seconds. Got the ball with 30 seconds and dribbled around for 24 of them before putting up a contested layup. Good D by the Birds but you'd think they'd attack earlier. Real head scratcher that everyone just stood around when the Birds were up 2 with 5.7 to play. It took a couple second for Murray to realize they needed to foul. Then on the next inbound, Birds were able to dribble it out with 2.2 or so.
