It was another profitable week in Conference USA play last week as the MTSU men's and women's basketball teams posted 2-0 records by defeating Florida Atlantic and Florida International.
It came right down to the wire for MTSU's men last Saturday against FIU as they rallied for a 67-66 victory after trailing by as many as six points in the second half.
Close victories are certainly the norm for the Blue Raiders, who are 11-3 in games decided by eight points or less this season.
"I think it shows the toughness of our team," said MTSU coach Kermit Davis.
