FRISCO, Texas – Head Men's Basketball Coach Nick McDevitt's first season at Middle Tennessee came to a close Wednesday evening at the Conference USA Championship, but not before Blue Raider fans in Frisco and back at home saw the fight that they have become accustomed to out of the first year head coach's squad in a 70-61 loss to UAB.
The Blue Raiders trailed by as many as 15 and remained down double digits approaching the final media timeout, but never gave up as they climbed within four down the stretch looking to upset the 5-seeded Blazers for a third time this season.
