Related Topics: Murfreesboro

With the UConn women's basketball team not expected to practice today, this is a day when sophomore guard Crystal Dangerfield can send her hopes and thoughts to her hometown.

National media has converged on Murfreesboro, Tennessee to report on White Lives Matter rallies in Murfreesboro and nearby Shelbyville.

Middle Tennessee State University in Murfreesboro canceled campus events days before the scheduled white nationalist rallies and residence halls were expected to be locked down. Other steps were being taken so the events in Murfreesboro are not a repeat of what happened in Charlottesville, Virginia when Heather Heyer was fatally injured when a car was driven into a crowd of counter protestors, two law enforcement officers perished in a helicopter crash as they monitored the events in Charlottesville from the air.
