MURFREESBORO, Tenn. — Senior Saturday for Middle Tennessee men's basketball was a subdued affair compared to years past. When your team's only player in his final year of eligibility went through Senior Day festivities a year ago, not knowing he'd come back for a seventh year of college basketball, that tends to be the case.
But the subdued nature of how DeAndre Dishman was honored, not with a walk-out with his family to meet with Head Coach Nick McDevitt and Director of Athletics Chris Massaro at center court, as Dishman did last season, but with a PA read before starting lineups and a curtain call in the final minute of MTSU's 63-49 win over LA Tech, made the standing ovations DeAndre Dishman received from the Murphy Center crowd stand out all that much more.
