Tomorrow will be the last chance to see the Lady Raiders on Senior Day as they look to finish the year undefeated at home.
MT defeated UTEP at El Paso earlier this year 64-42.

Senior Day! Hope we get a big win, and the seniors go out on a high note.

 

[MTFAN61]

Miners have struggled on the road this year. 3-9 record going into today's game. Will be 3-10 in a few hours. Lady Raiders win by 25!

Never seen a team miss as many layups as this one

Weird game. Team has done nothing to get crowd into game. Very uninspiring effort for senior day.

 

[MTOleBlue]

Glad the team got more cohesion in the 4Q. Really hope the coaches realize what our big problem is, has been, and continues to be -- offensive execution -- and work on it prior to CUSA and NCAA Tournaments (hopefully).

 

[blueboro007]

If we play against Liberty like we did today we lose by 20 or more. Hard to complain about another win but man this was ugly most of the game

 

[MTFAN61]

When coach says we hang our hat on defense & that's where we spend most of our time in preparation I 100% believe him.

Pretty good scare in the first quarter as Nas got her feet knocked out from under her going for a rebound. Her head hit the floor and hard. At first, I thought it knocked her out because she was motionless, but momentarily rolled over. I think the crowd was immediately drained in fear of what had happened.

Honestly, I was really surprised that she was able to come back with concussion protocol as it is today. And when she was down, I was worried how many games she would be out.

From that point on, there was no energy and fortunately we were able to muster enough offense to pull away.

Liberty hit a shot at the buzzer to beat Kennesaw State, setting up a big game on Thursday. Quite possibly the first of two meetings in upcoming days.

On a senior day side note, I had no idea that Savannah Davis's sister was a senior manager for the Lady Raider team. After watching the recognition ceremony and seeing them standing together, they look a lot alike but it was news to me.

Agree. Stunned there was no protocol. Was in row 12 & saw it straight on. That was a bad fall. I said to myself she would be out at least 2-3 games.

Blue Raiders Cap off Last Home Stand of the Season with a 57-35 Win Over UTEP - Middle Tennessee State University Athletics

MURFREESBORO, Tenn. – In a season where Middle Tennessee State (23-6, 15-1 CUSA) has boasted one of its best defensive teams in program history, it was fitting that

On Nas's fall, on replay, she fortunately landed on the biggest "clump" of her hair so that definitely helped lessen the impact.

Ugly game on offense until the 4Q. Definitely going to need to get it together by next week to beat Liberty.

When coach says we hang our hat on defense & that's where we spend most of our time in preparation I 100% believe him.

Considering we are now #1 in the country in both field goal percentage defense AND points allowed per game (after today's game), I believe him too.

Offense though... definitely needs to be our focus through the remainder of the year.
