Murray State Secures Convincing Win Over Maroussi BC in Greece

The Racers dominate the second half, posting 21 steals and 21 assists while shooting 50% from the field.

Murray State’s men’s basketball squad posted an 88‑72 victory over Maroussi BC on Tuesday night, completing a hard‑fought European tour match in Greece.

Roman Domon was the offensive catalyst, pouring in 21 points, 15 of which arrived after the break, and he helped the Racers pull away in the second half.

Scoring was spread across the roster, with Mark Padjen adding 11, while Kaden Magwood and Brayden Shorter each contributed nine, and Christian Jones, Brigham Rogers and Ben Shtolzberg chipping in eight points apiece.

The team entered the half with a three‑point edge and then seized control after the interval, outscoring their opponents by a wide margin.

Defensive Dominance Fuels the Win

Defensively, Murray State forced 21 steals and logged 21 assists, underscoring a balanced approach that combined aggressive perimeter pressure with fluid ball movement.

Despite a 50 % overall shooting clip, the Racers struggled from beyond the arc, converting only five of 28 three‑point attempts.

The Greece leg of the tour now concludes, and the team will head to Paris for two upcoming fixtures before returning home to the United States.
