MURFREESBORO, Tenn. — There's one present this holiday season Middle Tennessee's Lady Raiders won't have to unwrap.
After starting with seven games in the season's first 25 days, MT has been given a light end to the nonconference slate featuring only five games in 32 days, including a completely game-free Christmas week.
Following an 86-63 win over VCU on Wednesday, Head Coach Rick Insell granted the players with a whole week off. They won't practice again until Dec. 26, and to say the holiday break is the perfect gift for the Lady Raiders would be an understatement.
