MURFREESBORO, Tenn. – The 2018-19 season and Nick McDevitt era started with a win Tuesday night for Middle Tennessee.
At MT's Murphy Center, the Blue Raiders (1-0) took down Division II Lees-McRae (0-1) 91-69. It wasn't just McDevitt's first win in Murfreesboro, but also his first season-opening win of his six-year head coaching career after going 0-5 at UNC Asheville.
Things weren't perfect the whole 40 minutes, but McDevitt didn't necessarily predict them to be with a new coaching staff and several new players. Middle Tennessee only returns 13 total starts from last season and 15.
