MURFREESBORO, Tenn. — Late in the game, shortly after the final media timeout, the Blue Zoo made their demands known.
With Middle Tennessee leading by 28 against UTSA at the 4:15 mark of the second half, Head Coach Nick McDevitt had already started to work in the reserves. TreVon Smith and Christian Fussell entered the game for the first time after that time out. That subtle signal gave the student section all the permission it needed.
"JUBES! JUBES! JUBES! JUBES!" they chanted, demanding that guard Jack Jubenville enter the game. The most of the main rotation for the Blue Raiders, now enjoying the fruits of a blow-out win, joined in on the clapping with smiles on their faces.
