MURFREESBORO, Tenn. — Middle Tennessee men's basketball didn't make it pretty, but kept its dominance of the Murphy Center court intact this season, holding its opponent under 40 points for the first time since 2011, rolling over FIU 50-39 on Saturday night in C-USA play.
The Blue Raiders (11-6, 2-2 C-USA) limited the Panthers (10-6, 0-5 C-USA) to just 13 made field goals, contesting countless shots across the gym as neither team was able to find a rhythm. FIU especially struggled from behind the three-point line, where it was just 4-for-24 on the night.
"I was really happy with this win," head coach Nick McDevitt said.
