MURFREESBORO, Tenn. — Elias King and Jestin Porter had been staring at the locker room whiteboard all week leading up to Wednesday night's game against Jacksonville State. More specifically, they were staring at the standings the coaching staff writes on the board, with magnetized cards (easy to move) for each CUSA squad and handwritten conference records alongside them.
And even more specifically, they were staring at the "0" in the win column for the Blue Raiders after four games, with every team in Conference USA ahead of them.
"All week, me and JP, we were looking at the 0-4 that was on our board," King said.
