Thursday night will be Barbie Night, with students eligible to receive a Barbie/Ken shirt for attending that night's game. Saturday, meanwhile, is the program's annual Think Pink game and will feature the Lady Raiders in their pink jerseys for the first time this season.
Make sure to come out and cheer on MTSU as they look to stay undefeated in CUSA play against their top two competitors for the regular season title!
Relive the Lady Raiders' dominant win over WKU
I know many of y'all had as much fun as I did on Saturday watching the Lady Raiders romp over Western Kentucky in the Murphy Center by the largest margin in the rivalry's history, an 80-48 thrashing that I won't soon forget.
If you'd like to relive it, our victory highlights this week I think does a particularly good job of capturing the intensity of the game as well as the Lady Raiders' dominance. Check it out below if you haven't already!

ICYMI: The 2024 Football Schedule is now finalized!
Conference USA announced the 2024 football schedule last week, a set of dates that many Blue Raider fans were anxiously awaiting so they could finalize their plans to see MTSU in action during Derek Mason's first season at the helm of the program!
The schedule release for those of us in athletic communications, of course, starts a bit before the release date and I was especially proud of what my colleagues cooked up to present the schedule this year, taking inspiration from game programs of seasons past to usher in the new era of Blue Raider football.
