Stymied by Tigers Murray closed with 10 points (3-10 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 4-4 FT), two rebounds, two assists and five steals across 32 minutes during Friday's 62-57 loss to Auburn.

Impact Murray managed to score double-digit points for the third straight game, but he needed 10 shots to get to 10 points as Auburn's defense forced some poor efficiency from all of the Rebels -- Murray wasn't the only one. The point guard did log a season-high five steals and only turned the ball over once, but Ole Miss still lost a narrow contest.

Completely bottled up Murray posted two points (1-6 FG, 0-3 3Pt), one rebound and one steal over 23 minutes during Wednesday's 106-76 loss to Auburn.

Impact Auburn's defense had Murray in hell. The point guard couldn't dish out a single assist and turned the ball over three times for the first time since Jan. 11. Murray's production has dipped slightly in his senior season, but the Tigers rendered him completely useless Wednesday night.

FEBRUARY 27 • ROTOWIRE

Quiet in third straight start Murray registered five points (2-5 FG, 1-2 3Pt) and one rebound across 29 minutes during Wednesday's 72-69 win over Texas.

Impact Murray barely registered on the stat-sheet in his third game since re-entering the starting lineup. The point guard averages 8.3 points, 2.0 rebounds and 2.0 assists in that time frame, and has taken more of a back seat role for the Rebels, especially as a scorer.

13 points, five dimes in win Murray amassed 13 points (4-13 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 3-4 FT), three rebounds, five assists and one steal in 31 minutes during Tuesday's 74-64 victory over Alabama.

Impact Murray didn't have the most efficient night shooting the basketball, at least from the field, but he was responsible for plenty of the Rebels' successful possessions as he had five assists. No longer a starter, Murray is still a critical piece for the Rebels, and his three-point prowess (41.9 percent from deep this season) makes him liable to have a big outing on any given night.

Hits six triples in win Murray supplied 18 points (6-9 FG, 6-7 3Pt), three rebounds and five assists in 36 minutes during Tuesday's 74-61 victory over Southern University.

Impact Murray was unstoppable from downtown against Southern, hitting 6-of-7 three-pointers, which accounted for all of his points. The guard is shooting a whopping 49.1 percent from downtown this season, as well as 50.0 percent from the field. He's been an efficient scoring machine for the Rebels early in this young season.

Displays high ceiling, low floor Murray ended with 13 points (3-10 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 4-5 FT), nine assists and two steals over 38 minutes during Friday's 80-78 loss to Purdue.

Impact The senior has been electric at times this season (28 points against BYU) and also ice cold (five points against Oral Roberts). He can explode and cause great damage, or diffuse and shrink into the background of games. Still, even when he's not scoring, Murray has been an excellent facilitator with 4.9 assists per-game. With a point guard like Murray, you take the scoring highs with the lows so long as he keeps the offense flowing, and he has been to the tune of 34 assists to six turnovers.
