MURFREESBORO, Tenn. – Middle Tennessee is tasked with replacing a lot from its frontcourt last season, most notably because of the losses of JaCorey Williams and Reggie Upshaw.
The impact felt from the loss of leadership on and off the court from the graduated forwards could be lessened by good backcourt play, and that starts with the point guard position.
Freshman Tyrik Dixon was a surprise 34-game starter as a freshman at the point last season. While he was impressive, being named to the All-Conference USA Freshman Team, he has plenty to improve on going into his sophomore year.
