MURFREESBORO, Tenn. — For the second straight year, I can report that the sun rises the day after the final game for Middle Tennessee basketball.
This year's sun was brightest on the flight back to Tennessee, shining on the charter plane the NCAA set up for the Lady Raiders as they returned home from Durham, N.C. following their loss to Colorado in the First Round of the NCAA Tournament. Flying over an overcast Tennessee sky, the sun beamed on top of the white clouds, creating a nice view for those of us who were able to stay awake during the flight, which were few and far between.
