MURFREESBORO, Tenn. – The Middle Tennessee men's basketball team is headed back to the NCAA Tournament for the second time in the last four seasons after winning the Conference USA Championship Saturday. The Blue Raiders earned a No. 15 seed and will face No. 2 seeded Michigan State in St. Louis, Mo. on Friday.
The Blue Raiders are just three seasons removed from their last appearance in the big dance, playing in the First Four in Dayton, Ohio in the 2013 NCAA Tournament. Middle Tennessee lost that match-up against fellow No. 11 seed Saint Mary's.
