That’s the sound of a deep sigh of relief coming from Blue Raider fans.

The Gators adjusted in the second half and forced the offense into the paint, helping Florida run away with the game. Kenny Boynton scored 20 points while Will Yeguete posted his second career double-double as the Gators secured a 66-45 win in Tampa. http://florida.scout.com/2/1241416.html 8 Cody Jones http://florida.scout.com/2/1241416.html Mon, 19 Nov 2012 00:30:00 GMT 0 168 Florida florida We’ve turned another page on the calendar and the weather outside is starting to take notice that that 2012 is coming to a close.

With that in mind, BRZ is giving you an in-depth look at some key out of conference matchups this coming season. http://middletennessee.scout.com/2/1227759.html 8 Kellen Farmer http://middletennessee.scout.com/2/1227759.html Tue, 09 Oct 2012 00:19:00 GMT 0 349 Middle Tennessee middletennessee Middle Tennessee’s emotional win Monday has to be quickly forgotten - at least for the moment - to focus on their NIT Quarterfinals matchup with the Minnesota Golden Gophers. http://middletennessee.scout.com/2/1169873.html 8 Kurt Mullen http://middletennessee.scout.com/2/1169873.html Wed, 21 Mar 2012 14:15:00 GMT 0 349 Middle Tennessee middletennessee Look folks, I don’t know stats right now. To be honest, I didn’t even look them up. What I do know is that Middle Tennessee defied the odds and overcame sloppy play, bad officiating and a hostile crowd to move on in the NIT Tournament. http://middletennessee.scout.com/2/1169351.html 8 Kellen Farmer http://middletennessee.scout.com/2/1169351.html Tue, 20 Mar 2012 02:48:00 GMT 0 349 Middle Tennessee middletennessee InsideTennessee is your best source for Big Orange sports.

Middle Tennessee has a chance to prove their worth as a basketball program on the national stage, and what would be better than doing it against an in-state rival? Maybe doing it against an in-state rival on their home floor? It won’t be easy, but here’s the keys to Middle getting that W Monday night. http://middletennessee.scout.com/2/1169127.html 8 Kurt Mullen http://middletennessee.scout.com/2/1169127.html Mon, 19 Mar 2012 14:38:00 GMT 0 349 Middle Tennessee middletennessee Middle Tennessee came into Tuesday night’s NIT opener against the Marshall Thundering Herd looking to rebound from their early exit in the Sun Belt Tournament. http://middletennessee.scout.com/2/1167566.html 8 Spencer Caughlin http://middletennessee.scout.com/2/1167566.html Wed, 14 Mar 2012 15:20:00 GMT 1 349 Middle Tennessee middletennessee Coming into the Sun Belt tournament this year there were high hopes for both the men and women’s teams. Both were number one seeds and had every reason to think they would come away from the trip conference champs and headed to NCAA tournament play. http://middletennessee.scout.com/2/1165064.html 8 Spencer Caughlin http://middletennessee.scout.com/2/1165064.html Wed, 07 Mar 2012 01:00:00 GMT 0 349 Middle Tennessee middletennessee Today, we all thought the Blue Raiders would be playing for their first bid into the NCAA tournament in 22 years. Believe it or not, Middle is still on the NCAA Tournament Bubble. It’s a slim chance and a number of things would really have to go right, but Middle can still make the NCAAs. Don’t believe me, Blue Raider faithful? Be prepared to be convinced. http://middletennessee.scout.com/2/1164954.html 8 Kurt Mullen http://middletennessee.scout.com/2/1164954.html Tue, 06 Mar 2012 16:43:00 GMT 0 349 Middle Tennessee middletennessee It was a dream season for Middle Tennessee basketball. The Blue Raiders rode into the Sun Belt Tournament with a first round bye and dreams of their first NCAA appearance since the Berlin Wall fell. Unfortunately, much like that damn wall, the dream fell apart. http://middletennessee.scout.com/2/1164451.html 8 Kellen Farmer http://middletennessee.scout.com/2/1164451.html Mon, 05 Mar 2012 04:39:00 GMT 1 349 Middle Tennessee middletennessee With Middle Tennessee’s at-large hopes out the window, the Sun Belt Conference tournament is crucial to making the dance. With the breakout season it is easy to see Middle capturing its first conference title under Kermit Davis. Of course they must first take care of business and make it to the championship game before a title is even possible. http://middletennessee.scout.com/2/1164109.html 8 Spencer Caughlin http://middletennessee.scout.com/2/1164109.html Sat, 03 Mar 2012 23:25:00 GMT 0 349 Middle Tennessee middletennessee With Middle's at-large chances on the wrong side of the fence, the Blue Raiders are going to need conference tournaments to go as expected to keep at-large bids open. From my research, there are about 10 bids up for grabs and one of those could be Middle's. That said, here's a few conference tournaments to keep a rooting interest in this week. http://middletennessee.scout.com/2/1163299.html 8 Kurt Mullen http://middletennessee.scout.com/2/1163299.html Thu, 01 Mar 2012 01:51:00 GMT 0 349 Middle Tennessee middletennessee Mid-State rivals Vanderbilt and Middle Tennessee put on a great show at Memorial Gym on Saturday.

Solid recruiting efforts coupled with favorable schedules have led to high expectations from fans which – until now – weren’t reached. Luckily, Kermit and crew are coming through at just the right time. http://middletennessee.scout.com/2/1147181.html 8 Kellen Farmer http://middletennessee.scout.com/2/1147181.html Tue, 10 Jan 2012 03:28:00 GMT 0 349 Middle Tennessee middletennessee According to some, head coach Kermit Davis will have one more year at the helm of Middle Tennessee’s basketball program. http://middletennessee.scout.com/2/1054945.html 8 Kellen Farmer http://middletennessee.scout.com/2/1054945.html Fri, 11 Mar 2011 00:55:00 GMT 0 349 Middle Tennessee middletennessee
