MT Has Won Four Straight, Nine of 10
MURFREESBORO, Tenn. – Middle Tennessee will return to the airwaves for a Fox national broadcast when it plays host to UTEP at Murphy Center Saturday. Tipoff is 11 a.m.
The Blue Raiders (13-5, 7-1), who throttled UTSA, 73-53, have won four straight and nine out of 10 to move into a tie for first atop the C-USA standings. Since an overtime home loss against Southern Miss not only has Middle Tennessee won four straight, but it also has been quite dominant in doing so.
Middle Tennessee has won each of the four games by 17 or more, including three by 20-plus points and the Blue Raiders' margin of victory during the four-game win streak is 22.5 points per game.
UTEP (8-9, 3-5) is coming off a 67-52 setback at UAB Thursday and has lost four straight entering Saturday's game; however, three of those four losses have been by six points or fewer.
Middle Tennessee features one of the highest-scoring duos in America in leading-scorer Olivia Jones and senior forward Cheyenne Parker. Jones leads C-USA in scoring with 21.2 per game and Parker is third with 17.9 points per game. They represent the fourth-highest scoring duo in NCAA Division I women's basketball, behind Ohio State, Akron and Iona.
The Blue Raiders had four players in double figures in their win against UTSA. Parker led the way with 25 points, 17 rebounds and eight blocks, while Jones finished with 19 points, six rebounds, four assists and four steals.
China Dow had a stellar all-around performance with 15 points, five rebounds, five steals and two assists. Ty Petty rounded out the double-figure scoring with 11 and also added four assists, four steals and three rebounds.
