LADY RAIDER BB Middle Tennessee (12-4) vs UTEP (6-9), Thursday 01-18, 6:30 pm, ESPN+

[MTFAN61]

UTEP comes to Murphy Center Thursday 01/18 struggling through the season thus far. In UTEP's last game at home the Miners saw FIU beat them soundly 83-62 behind a 4th period 25-11 thumping.
The UTEP Lady Miners are playing this year without successful Head Coach Kevin Baker who retired from coaching. They return former long time coach Keitha Adam's in taking over coaching responsibilities.
The Lady Raiders are coming off a 2 game conference win streak on the road. They were led by Anastasiia Boldyreva who was named CUSA player of the week in which she had back to back double doubles in scoring & rebounding. That included a career high 32 point effort at La Tech.

there's some rumbling that the time of the game may see some adjustment - move up possibly, rather than moved back or rescheduled.

Would be a good idea with more snow showers anticipated that evening.

Hopefully a big crowd tonight. Tickets are only $5, athletic dept really pushing this one hard on social media. With schools closed and MTSU classes off, this is THE event in town! Hope folks show up. Free hot chocolate for the first 100 students too

Not a good 1st half. Got totally away from the original plan of going inside. Part of that was Boldyreva's foul trouble. Jacking up 3's from all over. UTEP 42% to MT 33% from the field. Would be in trouble if not for Iullia & her double double. Need better offensive rhythm for 2nd half.

 

[MTOleBlue]

Let them really come back into it, but still got a pretty good win. Crowd was 3,300 tonight

NMSU game moved to 2 pm Saturday. Aggies just beat Western in Bowling Green 50-44.
