MURFREESBORO, Tenn.—Bulldozers lined the parking lot of the Murphy Center. Following a day of hard work, they cleared the way for fans to file into the arena for Middle Tennessee's (12-5, 3-1 CUSA) contest against the Jacksonville State Gamecocks (9-7, 1-2). Just like those machines did outside prior to the game, it took good, old-fashioned hard work from its two best scoring machines, Essam Mostafa and Jestin Porter, to help the Blue Raiders to an 81-64 win to continue the best start they've seen under Head Coach Nick McDevitt's tutelage.
