MURFREESBORO, Tenn. — Last season, Middle Tennessee won only two games on the road.
The Blue Raiders have the chance to match that number this season on Monday night when they visit Coastal Carolina for the first game of four this week in Myrtle Beach.
Game 4: Middle Tennessee (3-0, 0-0 C-USA) at Coastal Carolina (1-2, 0-0 Sun Belt)
» Monday, Nov. 18, 2019 – 6:00 p.m. CST
» HTC Center (3,212) – Conway, S.C.
About the Blue Raiders
» Antonio Green is second in Conference USA in points per game with 25.3 with a conference-leading 13 3-pointers made.
» The Blue Raiders have had the hot hand from 3-point range to start the year, currently shooting at 38.5% (30-78) as a team.
» After winning at Lipscomb on Nov. 9, MT is just one road win shy of matching its total from last year. The Blue Raiders were 2-16 in all games away from home last season.
» Donovan Sims, Jayce Johnson, C.J. Jones and Antonio Green have started all three games in the new season.
» The fast-paced MT offense is leading to more points, as the Blue Raiders have averaged 96.0 points, most in C-USA and eighth-most in the country.
Scouting the Chanticleers
» Coastal Carolina brings a 1-2 record into the week, with losses coming to Campbell and Northern Kentucky.
» Tyrell Gumbs-Frater is the Chanticleers' leading scorer (17.3 points per game) and a sharp-shooter (10-18 from 3-point range).
» 6-foot-6 guard Garrick Green leads his team in rebounds with 8.3 while also contributing 11.3 points per game and a team-best four blocks.
All-Time vs. Coastal Carolina
» Wednesday's contest with Coastal Carolina will be the first in program history.
» Head Coach Nick McDevitt is 3-5 all-time against Coastal Carolina in his career.
Last Time Out
» Middle Tennessee struggled for parts of the game but pulled away in the final 15 minutes to win over Mars Hill, 96-82.
» It was the program's 500th win inside the Murphy Center.
» Freshman Eli Lawrence notched his first career double-double — 13 points and 10 rebounds — and was the spark the team needed in the second half.
» Antonio Green tied his career high for points with 31, with 25 coming in the first half.
» Jayce Johnson tied his career high for points scored with 16 to go with eight rebounds and a career-best six assists.
Next Time Out
» MT will remain in Conway for the Myrtle Beach Invitational, which begins Thursday with MT taking on No. 10 Villanova.
» The Blue Raiders will then take on either Mississippi State or Tulane Friday before playing their final game of the week on Sunday.
» Tipoff against Villanova is at 10:30 a.m. CST on Thursday and can be watched on ESPN2.
