MURFREESBORO, Tenn. — Courtney Whitson hears her classmates talk about the Lady Raiders. Like those who know Middle Tennessee women's basketball, there's plenty of positive things to say about the 19-4, 9-0 in CUSA Lady Raiders.
But there's one sentiment her classmates share that frustrates the fifth-year forward.
"Some of our school mates are like, 'Dang, y'all just blow people out. We're not coming to the game,'" Whitson said.
Those who attended MTSU's 81-55 drubbing of Liberty on Thursday or the Lady Raiders' 73-54 dismantling of FIU on Saturday in the Murphy Center or watched online at ESPN+ or listened to the Old Pro Dick Palmer and Kyle Turnham on the Blue Raider Radio Network this week will understand that not every blowout is made equal.
