Overcoming adversity nothing new for Jordan

MURFREESBORO, Tenn. — A little mental fortitude has gone a long way for Jalen Jordan this season.

Having to navigate this strange basketball campaign has been tough enough with the COVID-19 pandemic wreaking havoc on seemingly everything in its path. Add into the mix a couple of shooting hand injuries and it's difficult to see how Jordan has been able to stay hungry to get better, let alone produce at a high level in his first year suiting up for Middle Tennessee.

The junior guard has a lot of grit and moxie, though, born out of constantly feeling like he has something to prove on the court.
