MURFREESBORO, Tenn. — To say Middle Tennessee's Lady Raiders were excited to take the floor in Sunday's season opener would be a gross understatement.

"That we got to play was a positive," he said. "We have to thank Chris [Massaro] and Dr. [Sidney] McPhee for allowing us to play, and to Dr. [Utpal] Patel for being here watching our kids and taking care of our kids.
