MURFREESBORO, Tenn. — It was a glimpse into the present and the future of Lady Raider basketball. January 9, 2022, a Saturday game against North Texas moved to Sunday thanks to a snow storm rolling through the mid-state that Middle Tennessee won 80-52. Dor Saar, the present, led MT with 23 points. Courtney Blakely, the future, was second on the team that day with 18 points off the bench.
