MURFREESBORO, Tenn. – Middle Tennessee couldn't send its seniors out with a win Saturday, as the No. 24 Blue Raiders hosted Marshall and fell 76-67 to end the regular season.
It was just the second Conference USA loss of the season for MT, which also fell at Marshall 73-63 on Jan. 18. The Raiders, C-USA's regular-season champion for the second year in a row, had won 11 straight since that loss. They now lead the all-time series between the teams 11-5 and 6-1 in the Murphy Center.
The game was more than just a rematch, though.
