Lady Raiders fall to Rice

MURFREESBORO, Tenn. – Historic win No. 333 will have to wait for Middle Tennessee Head Coach Rick Insell.

The Lady Raiders (15-5, 6-1) welcomed the Rice Owls (15-3, 6-0) to the Murphy Center Thursday in a matchup of undefeated Conference USA teams and couldn't find enough success against a tough defense, falling 60-47.

Insell remains tied with former men's basketball coach Kermit Davis with 332 career wins at MT, the most in school history.

"The team that wanted it worse got it," Insell said. "They outplayed us … and our team was not the team I've been seeing the last two or three weeks.
