After Middle Tennessee continued its sports mastery over Marshall with a 97-86 basketball victory Saturday, I can’t stop marveling about the coaching stability at that school.
The Thundering Herd has had a rough time with the Blue Raiders in football and men’s basketball, going 3-8 since MTSU came to Conference USA from the Sun Belt in 2013. (But hey, the baseball team is 5-4 in that all-time series, so it’s not all painful for the kelly green.)
Marshall owns two no-doubt home wins in football, but has suffered two agonizing setbacks in Murfreesboro — both decided on the game’s final play.
