Morant, a projected top-three pick in this summer's NBA draft, put Murray State on his back — finishing with 36 points on 13-for-25 shooting from the field.
CONNECTTWEETLINKEDINCOMMENTEMAILMOREIn a back-and-forth mid-major battle Saturday night, Murray State All-American point guard Ja Morant carried the Racers to a 77-65 upset of Belmont in the Ohio Valley Conference tournament final to claim the league's automatic bid and become the nation's first NCAA tournament team.
“I was a little frustrated with myself last night … I mean, they’re free,” Morant, who went an uneven 10-for-15 from the free-throw line Friday, said. “Tonight, I was just locked in and just followed through with all my shots and was able to make them.” “We found a way to get it done in the second half. I’m just so proud of our team,” Murray State coach Matt McMahon said.
