HUNTSVILLE, Ala. — Keith Cromartie is as True Blue as any Blue Raider fan. An alumnus of the MTSU Track and Field Program, Cromartie was one of the last, he estimates, that legendary coach Dean Hayes let play basketball and run track in Murfreesboro.
These days, however, since Cromartie was on campus as a student in the early 1970s, the True Blue Blue Raider makes his home just outside of Huntsville, Alabama, about two hours south of the Murphy Center. And when Director of Athletics Chris Massaro gave him a call that the Conference USA Basketball Tournaments were coming to his neck of the woods, Cromartie couldn't be more excited.
