Middle Tennessee Blue Raiders
Last time out, Middle Tennessee visited the Louisiana Tech Bulldogs and left with an easy 68-51 win. It was a close game for eight minutes, but the Blue Raiders went on a big run to end the first half and led by 19 points at the half. The Bulldogs could never close that gap and it was a sleepy end to the game. Middle Tennessee led by as many as 21 points, never trailed by more than two, and won outright as +3.5-point road underdogs.
Elias King came off the bench and had 17 points, four rebounds, and one steal on the night. Teafale Lenard Jr. added 11 points, two rebounds, four assists, three steals, and two blocks in the victory.
Through 20 games, Middle Tennessee is scoring 69.7 points per game, shooting 45.9% from the field, and assisting on 11.4 made shots. The Blue Raiders are allowing 65.1 points, grabbing 33.5 rebounds, blocking 5.3 shots, and stealing the ball 8.1 times.
Florida Atlantic Owls
Florida Atlantic extended their winning streak to 18 games after going to UTEP and leaving with a 67-59 win. The final score is not an indication of how this game went as the Owls were in complete control throughout and were never challenged. UTEP faced a 13-point halftime deficit but showed some fight late to get the final score under 10. Florida Atlantic led by as much as 17 points, never trailed, and covered the -5.5-point spread.
Johnell Davis came off the bench and had 20 points and six rebounds in the game. Vladislav Goldin added 11 points, six rebounds, and three blocks in the victory.
