Middle Tennessee & Purdue both bring 3 game winning streaks into the Elevance Fort Myers Tipoff holiday tournament. Purdue brings excellent size into Thursday afternoon's matchup. The Boilermakers have 6 players all between 6' 2" & 6' 4". While both Middle Tennessee & Purdue both would look forward to a Saturday afternoon showdown against nationally ranked Iowa St neither team will be overlooking their upcoming opponent beforehand.
Thursday's Thanksgiving game can be seen on a wide variety of streaming formats via the Women's Sports Network. Viewing alternatives include options such as tubi, freevee, Roku, plex, & fubo.

We may not have a lot to be thankful for when it come to BR athletics but thankful for this community and the site and pray you’re all in good health in this holiday season. God bless!

Middle Tennessee welcomes the GCU Antelopes (Lopes) of the WAC Conference to Murphy Center Friday night. The Lopes come in 1-0 after easily defeating Cal State Bakersfield 93-52.
Last year GCU gave MT one of its 5 losses in Phoenix 68-59. After a strong start to the season The Lopes finished the year with 3 straight losses to finish out a successful 25-8 season.
This year GCU is the preseason #1 pick in the WAC. They return 3 key players & 7 new faces.
They are led by preseason WAC POY selection guard Trinity San Antonio.
Should be a game not to miss as Grand Canyon may represent the best team the Lady Raiders will host this 2024-25 season.

The Lady Raiders play an early contest at struggling Florida A&M Tuesday.
Important takeaways for MT is to focus on the Lady Rattlers, & to not be distracted by the upcoming Thanksgiving tournament later in the week. Important to get out to a comfortable lead so the coaching staff can hopefully allow for more liberal substitutions especially in the 2nd half. It will be of a major benefit if we can go in with decently fresh legs against back to back power conference schools.

Conner Smith has the story. Another big add at the safety position from nearby BGA. 2025 class rounding out nicely

Previous Game Thread:

MTSU has landed a big commitment from 2025 defensive back Chris Noble.

He plays high school ball in Georgia and has the size, athleticism, and versatility to play all over the secondary. Important add for the future!!

GoMiddle has the story:

I have no words. Well…..maybe a question, is MTSU still paying Stockstill too?
https://www.tennessean.com/story/ne...-payroll-struggles-glenda-glover/76306642007/

Offensive lineman Morgan Scott has entered the transfer portal today as a graduate transfer. He will have one year of eligibility remaining

After senior day introdutions which included a Julius Pierce proposal (she said yes!!), it is time for kickoff.

Middle Tennessee will begin the game with the ball
