The Middle Tennessee Blue Raiders walked into the Nashville Municipal Auditorium on Saturday night and took down the Toledo Rockets 73-70 in overtime to clinch the Challenge in Music City tournament. The Blue Raiders were led by senior JaCorey Williams with 31 points.
The Rockets came out firing from all cylinders. Toledo took a 30-22 lead at half, but could not stop Middle Tennessee in the second half as they proceeded to shoot 59 percent from the field. Turnovers really halted any momentum the Rockets tried to come up with, turning over the ball 16 times to the Blue Raiders four.
