MURFREESBORO, Tenn. – It's no secret Middle Tennessee head basketball coach Kermit Davis puts a heavy emphasis on his players excelling in the classroom.
When the Blue Raiders entered the NCAA Tournament in March for the second straight season, they did so with a Graduation Success Rate (GSR) of 100 percent. They joined 11 other teams — Duke, Notre Dame, Butler, Bucknell, Creighton, Princeton, Dayton, Vermont and Winthrop — as the only schools in the 68-team field that reached the 100-percent GSR mark.
Plus, in May, the program successfully graduated four seniors – Reggie Upshaw, JaCorey Williams, Xavier Habersham and Aldonis Foote.
