KNOXVILLE, Tenn. — Tuesday night at Thompson-Boling Arena at Food City Center, Middle Tennessee women's basketball did a lot of things right. They shot the ball well from the court, shooting 54.9 percent (28-for-51) for the game. Point guard Courtney Blakely set a new career high with 25 points on 11-of-17 shooting. Jalynn Gregory found her outside shot again, going 3-for-5 from beyond the arc.
It's easy to see why Rick Insell was proud of his team at the end, despite the result of the game of an 89-75 loss to Tennessee.
