Community Service
Middle Tennessee athletes serve as role models and motivators in encouraging the importance of reading and proper study skills to students in the Murfreesboro City Extended Schools program. The B.R.A.S.S. program is another vehicle that encourages student-athletes to become involved in service activities. Through the program, Middle Tennessee hosts the Special Olympics each April. The athletes visit area schools during the course of the year and read to students. They also visit the Veterans Hospital each month to visit with patients and exercise with them.

Middle Tennessee’s women’s basketball team works exclusively with Scales Elementary School in Murfreesboro on community service projects, including reading days and participating in school fundraisers each year.

Named to the CoSIDA/ESPN The Magazine Academic All-District IV Team Recipient of the Sun Belt Female Postgraduate Scholarship award
Endowed Scholarship Wayne and Kathryn Lewis became the first Middle Tennessee donors to endow a scholarship for the women’s basketball program starting with the 2006-07 academic year. Chelsia Lymon was the first recipient of the scholarship. The endowment of scholarships is a great way to leave a legacy and help student-athletes get an education. It gives the donor and the student-athlete an opportunity to build a lifelong relationship. In the case of the Lewis’, the players have become part of their family and vice versa with the Lewis’ making road trips with the Blue Raiders, including the 2007 NCAA Tournament in Stanford, Calif., and the 2009 NCAA Tournament in East Lansing, Mich. The goal of the women’s basketball program is to fully endow all 15 scholarships.

Any alumnus or fan may endow a scholarship. Endowed scholarships are a large sum of money that has been invested with the University’s foundation and generates income each year. A portion of the income is spent on student aid and the remainder is reinvested in the principal. For more information on endowed scholarships or giving to the Middle Tennessee athletics department, please contact Alan Farley in the Blue Raider Athletic Association office at 615.898.2210.

NCAA Compliance
Whether you are an alumnus, parent or guardian of a current student-athlete or a supporter or friend of Middle Tennessee State University, you have an interest in fostering the quality of our athletic program.
The NCAA has explicit guidelines for what “representatives of athletics interests,” traditionally known as boosters, can and cannot do. Rules differ dependent upon whether the student-athlete is considered a prospect (anyone who has started classes for the 9th grade) or a currently enrolled student-athlete. A brief synopsis of permissible and impermissible activities follows. AS A GENERAL RULE... representatives of athletics interests may not be involved in the recruitment of prospective student-athletes. DO NOT provide anything to or for a prospect, relative or friends or an enrolled studentathlete. DO check first with the athletic department compliance office to determine if your intentions are permissible. DO NOT attempt to recruit prospective student-athletes for the college.

The Princeton Review listed MTSU among 146 “Best Southeastern Colleges” based on a survey of MTSU students. The Review said that MTSU offers “the best bang for your buck in academia, sports, parties and overall experience.” One of the region’s top universities, MTSU boasts a 23-to-1 student-to-faculty ratio and offers more than 140 undergraduate degree programs and seven colleges. As MTSU counts down to its centennial celebration in 2011, there is on campus, in Murfreesboro and Rutherford County and around the region. Growth can be seen at many levels, from enrollment to facilities to scholarship aid to endowment to student involvement to research and more. With a record 25,191 registered and attending in fall 2009 and with the largest undergraduate total in Tennessee, enrollment remains on the rise since the arrival of Dr. Sidney A. McPhee, MTSU’s 10th president, in 2001. The University’s growth parallels that of Murfreesboro (pop. 100,000) and Rutherford County (pop. 229,380). Facility growth can be seen in the expanded Health, Wellness and Recreation Center and Reese Smith Jr. Field for baseball; future projects including Science, Student Union and College of Education and Behavioral Science buildings; multiple parking garages; and more. Those who have not visited campus in many years are astonished at the changes and, obviously, there are more changes on the horizon. The University Honors College admitted its first class of Buchanan Fellowship recipients in 2007-08. Limited to 20 students per year, this is the highest academic scholarship awarded at MTSU. More entering freshmen and transfers continue to receive the HOPE Scholarship and the Tennessee General Assembly has increased the award amount to compensate for tuition hikes. MTSU’s endowment leaped
from $29.8 million to $34.9 million during the 2006-07 fiscal year. “For 2005-06, we had asset value appreciation of more than 13 percent,” said Joe Bales, vice president for Development and University Relations. “Add to that the gifts we received that year, and the total growth of our endowment put us in the Top 25 percent of colleges and universities in the nation.” More than $1 million a year is pumped into academic units in the form of scholarships, faculty awards and student-support programs. Once on campus, students have about 300 registered organizations to choose from. They can be involved in student government and political groups, Greek life (sororities and fraternities), student publications, honor societies, professional organizations, human interest groups and more. The University continues to move forward with student and faculty research. External funding has reached $37 million, which includes public service and research and instruction. The Undergraduate Research Center holds Scholars Week each spring, showcasing research and the arts. The celebration includes departmental and college events that features oral and multimedia presentations, posters, performances, debates, demonstrations, speakers, luncheons and awards. Students continue to excel at national levels as evidenced by recognition they have received as groups or individuals. MTSU’s 500-plus acre campus rests near the geographic

Chris Massaro, MT Director of Athletics
Chris Massaro MT Director of Athletics Northern Colorado (1983)
The landscape of college athletics has changed drastically over the past decade and that renovation also has been demonstrated at Middle Tennessee, particularly during the four-plus years since Chris Massaro was named director of athletics on April 8, 2005. Proving to be a true visionary, Massaro has helped revolutionize the Blue Raiders’ athletic department while helping pave the way for even greater success in future years. During his short but highly successful reign, Massaro has overseen unprecedented success not only in the University’s athletic programs but also in regard to academic success, facility upgrades and a proven record of hiring coaches who have thrived under his watch. Under Massaro’s leadership, the Blue Raiders have captured the Sun Belt’s all-sports trophy three times in five years. Since his arrival, Massaro has enhanced the Blue Raiders’ broadbased, 17-sport program. Among the accomplishments included in the last four years: • The Athletic Department has captured 18 Sun Belt Conference championships and earned 12 coach of the year honors. • The athletic program has had a record 15 nationally televised events during his four-year tenure. • Middle Tennessee’s football team earned an at-large invitation to the Motor City Bowl in 2006, the first bowl appearance during the Division I era. • The women’s volleyball team reached the Sweet 16 for the first time in 2007. • The men’s golf team received its first-ever at-large invitation into the East Regional in 2008 and subsequently advanced to the National Championship, where it finished 15th in the country. It backed up that effort with another NCAA regional in 2009. • The women’s basketball team appeared in back-to-back NCAA
Tournaments in 2006 and 2007 and returned again in 2009. The team narrowly missed reaching the Sweet 16 in 2007 after earning a No. 5 seed. • The Middle Tennessee tennis doubles team of Marco Born and Andreas Siljestrom won the National Championship in 2007 – the first NCAA doubles title in Athletic Department history. • The Middle Tennessee track teams have combined for four conference titles and the 2007 men’s outdoor squad finished No. 21 in the nation while the 2009 women’s indoor team ranked tied for 30th. • The Blue Raider baseball team captured the regular season and tournament championship in 2009 and advanced to the NCAAs. Massaro’s success at Middle Tennessee does not stop with the athletic teams. There has been a tremendous track record for hiring quality coaches with head football coach Rick Stockstill, women’s head basketball coach Rick Insell and men’s golf coach Whit Turnbow – and all Massaro hires – each earning Sun Belt Coach of the Year in their first seasons and men’s tennis coach David McNamara who won the Sun Belt and Coach of the Year honors in his second season. In all, Massaro’s guidance has provided coaches with the resources to produce 18 conference titles, 19 NCAA postseason appearances, one Sun Belt Conference Athlete of the Year and 12 Coach of the Year awards. Academic enhancement has also skyrocketed under Massaro’s leadership. Massaro, who was appointed to a panel on APR Improvement Plans for the 2007 NCAA Convention, inherited a football program with a national-low score of 812 and saw it increase to a current 990 (on a 1,000-point scale) in 2009. As a whole, the Athletic Department has improved from a 908 score when Massaro was hired to an impressive cumulative (four years) score of 951 in 2007-08. All 17
FIVE SUN BELT CHAMPIONSHIPS IN SIX YEARS
Middle Tennessee sports teams achieved passing marks of 925 or higher in 2006-07 with four teams turning in a perfect mark of 1,000. In 2007-08, 16 of 17 teams topped the 925 mark. Massaro, who spent 20 years at South Carolina prior to his appointment at Middle Tennessee, also overhauled the annual Blue Raider Athletic Association’s annual giving program, which resulted in a record number of members and financial giving in 2008, indicating the fourth such year record numbers have been realized. The annual campaign has improved 40 percent since his arrival. Facility upgrades also have been at the top of Massaro’s impressive list of accomplishments. He completed a $6 million capital campaign for the new baseball stadium and initiated a series of major renovations to existing athletic facilities during the previous three years, including a state-ofthe-art soccer and track complex. Most recently, a state-of-the-art golf performance center was completed in December 2008.In the midst of numerous upgrades, Massaro also has initiated generous contributions that made it possible to install a new synthetic surface in Floyd Stadium for the 2006 season. Additionally, new videoboards – one for football and two inside Murphy Center – were installed in 2007. In a span of four years Massaro’s hiring practices have been regarded as excellent. On Dec. 12, 2005, he made his highest profile hire when he selected Stockstill to take over the football program. Stockstill became just the second head coach in the I-A era and led the Blue Raiders to a league championship and a bowl appearance in his first season. Two days following his hiring, Massaro was pressed into action to find a replacement to lead the nationally recognized women’s basketball program. Massaro made his first hire when he brought on board legendary
high school coach Rick Insell to take over the program. Both Insell and Stockstill won championships in their first seasons on the job. Massaro has also made a significant upgrade in the Blue Raider football schedule. During the summer of 2005, he announced a home game in 2007 that made Virginia the first team from the highly regarded ACC to visit Floyd Stadium, and then quickly added a second ACC member when Maryland agreed to make the trip to Murfreesboro in 2008 and the Blue Raiders rewarded him with a 24-14 upset. On his 100th day on the job, Massaro made one of his biggest announcements: a fiveyear contract with the University of Memphis to play football that started in 2007. The Tigers will become the first in-state Division I-A (FBS) football team to play the Blue Raiders in Murfreesboro. Massaro has also worked out a home-and-home series with Mississippi State that will see the Bulldogs coming to Floyd Stadium in 2009 – making them the first SEC program to play in a Sun Belt stadium – and nearby Georgia Tech that will have the Yellow Jackets coming to Murfreesboro in 2011. He also inked a home-and-home with Minnesota that will see the Golden Gophers come to Murfreesboro to begin the 2010 season on Thursday, Sept. 2. In March 2008, Massaro made another big move when he announced a four-game series with neighboring rival Vanderbilt of the SEC. The series begins in 2015 and the teams will play twice in Murfreesboro and twice in Nashville. The Glenwood Springs, Colo., native joined the South Carolina staff under the Ohio University sport administration program in 1985. Massaro helped usher the Gamecocks into the SEC and learned under legendary athletic director Dr. Mike McGee. Massaro earned his bachelor’s degree in business administration from Northern Colorado in 1983 and his master’s degree in sport administration from Ohio in 1986. At UNC, Massaro was a five-year football team member with the Bears. Massaro is also heavily involved in community service projects and organizations. He is a member of the Red Cross Board, the City Golf Commission and the Rutherford County Sports Council Executive Committee, and he served on the search committee for the Rutherford County Chamber of Commerce president. Massaro and his wife, Cindy, have four children: Hank, Lainey, Rachel and Ben.

In 2006, the athletic department began a mentoring program with the city schools in which the student-athletes and coaches help tutor kids. In the spring of each year, Special Olympics at Middle Tennessee uses Blue Raider student-athletes to run each event. Career night and substance and alcohol abuse seminars are yearly, well-attended events. The Student-Athlete Enhancement Center is just one way that Middle Tennessee is helping to prepare student-athletes for life after college.

Strength and Conditioning
One of the biggest changes in college athletics over the past few years has been the attitude toward strength and conditioning. Performing in the weight room has become just as important as on-the-field competition, and Middle Tennessee has one of the very best staffs in the nation committed to making student-athletes the best they can be. Assistant Athletic Director Matt Riley oversees the strength and conditioning for the Blue Raider athletic teams, including stretching before practices, workouts Matt Riley and conditioning. It all happens in the Blue Raiders’ 10,000-plus square Assistant AD/Strength and Conditioning foot weight room located adjacent to the north end zone of Floyd Stadium and designed for use by all Middle Tennessee student-athletes. It is a strength training area that rivals any in the country. The weight room has been described by many people as better than any in the immediate area, including those at SEC and Conference USA schools. The facility, which opened in January 1999, greets studentathletes with over 20,000 pounds of plates and dumbbells, but the sheer volume of weights is not the most impressive aspect of the room. It is equipped with nine full power racks, nine elevated platforms and nine half-racks. Hammer strength equipment rounds out the room with five ground-base jammers, a dead lift, a leg press, a leg curl and a leg extension. Other Hammer strength equipment in the facility includes a bench press, a military press, a rowing machine, neck machine, pull-up and pull-over. An impressive array of dumbbells is also provided for the student-athletes’ use. Two sets each of dumbbells ranging from five to 150 pounds are kept on racks around the room. Mirrors ring the walls of the room to help student-athletes ensure that they are using proper form throughout their workouts. Cardiovascular equipment, such as treadmills and stationary bikes, is also available. Other state-of-the-art amenities include a cable television and a state-of-the-art sound system. Three offices for the strength coaches are located in the facility, along with restrooms and a hospitality area.

The Sports Medicine facility opens early each morning and doesn’t close until all student-athletes have been treated. The office contains a complete injury rehabilitation center, new rehab equipment, two full-size whirlpools, a dressing area for athletes and a private office for the team physicians. In the summer of 2008, new Mondo Ramflex flooring to provide a safe and healthy environment for the student-athletes. New treatment tables were obtained in 2009. There is no waiting in the Sports Medicine facility with nine taping stations, multiple state-of-the-art modalities and a new rehabilitation area. All equipment in the facility is top of the line. Athletes can use a full-stride treadmill, a stairmaster and an exercise bike during their rehabilitation. One of the most recent additions to the equipment in the facility is a $15,000 K-Laser which helps speed up the healing process, enabling studentathletes to return to competition at a faster rate. The latest piece of equipment that aids the Sports Medicine staff is a new state-of-the-art computer system that tracks injuries, rehab protocols, medications and surgeries. The system allows each athletic trainer to keep student-athlete rehabilitation moving forward at as rapid a pace as possible. The facility also contains a fully stocked physician’s examination room for the resolution of any minor issues that a studentathlete may encounter. There is also a C-Arm portable x-ray machine on site. Shea and his assistants each have an office in the Sports Medicine facility, and there is work space for the nine graduate assistants. Each office is self-contained, allowing private consultations with injured student-athletes.

Murphy Center
Middle Tennessee is blessed with one of the finest basketball facilities and allaround assembly centers found on a campus anywhere. Charles M. Murphy Athletic Center, completed in the fall of 1972, seats 11,520 fans for basketball and nearly 13,000 for concerts and convocations. The Middle Tennessee women’s basketball team has defended its home floor over the years with great success, posting a 333-95 (.778) overall record at Murphy Center, and a 349-98 (.781) mark overall at home including games played at Alumni Memorial Gym. Murphy Center has seen remarkable growth over the last four seasons for basketball at Middle Tennessee, with the Blue Raiders increasing attendance by almost 600 percent from 745 per game to 2007-08’s 4,150 fans per contest. Middle Tennessee led the nation in attendance increase in 2005-06 and ranked sixth nationally in 2006-07. The Blue Raiders were 26th nationally in attendance in 2006-07, 27th in the country in 2007-08 and 33rd on the list last season, more than doubling every Sun Belt Conference school in average attendance for the year. The facility received a major upgrade in the summer of 2003, when the original playing surface was removed and a new
state-of-the-art floor was installed in its place. The floor was rotated 180 degrees to better accommodate television broadcasts. In 2005, the arena seating area was upgraded. All of the old chairs, which had been in place since the venue opened, were replaced with blue chairback seats in the lower bowl. Before the start of the 2007-08 season, a pair of Daktronics video boards, one on each end, were added to Murphy Center, giving fans an enhanced view of the action on the court. Constructed in a perfect square, 320 feet on each side, Murphy Center exterior features a unique “window-wall” which gives it an appearance distinctly its own. The interior has three levels containing Monte Hale Arena (the main playing floor); a six-lane track; offices for both the Athletic Department and the Department of Health and Human Performance; two auxiliary gymnasiums (including the basketball practice facility); dance studios and handball/racquetball courts; a weight room; a training room; dressing facilities; and classrooms. The building is named for Charles M. (Bubber) Murphy, who coached Blue Raider football from 1947 through 1968, and was the University’s athletic director for an even longer The main playing are-

This outstanding facility has also been chosen on numerous occasions as host for Tennessee high school basketball, the Tennessee Secondary Schools Athletic Association’s (TSSAA) Boys and Girls State Tournaments, held annually in midMarch. In 1998, Murphy Center played host to the Steamboat Classic, which annually showcases the nation’s top prep hoop stars.

Mascot/Nickname
THE MASCOT In Greek mythology, the winged horse possessed superior cunning and speed. The thundering horse of the gods was entrusted to carry awesome lightning bolts and could only be harnessed by a noble being with a pure heart. Character, talent and strength were required to mount and ride the fabled winged horse. Today, this winged horse is a fitting symbol of a university that has earned its wings and excels in many academic arenas, including historic preservation, teacher training, aerospace, political science, horse science and recording industry. But the winged horse is more than a symbol of physical accomplishment; it’s also a symbol of character and the responsible wielding of power. The challenge of all great universities and university athletic departments is to help student-athletes build character as well as strength. This winged horse, Lightning, is a symbol to Middle Tennessee students, athletes and alumni of the soaring school spirit they experience at sporting events. For its nobility and character, the winged horse was immortalized in the stars. Now, with breathtaking speed and thundering, unbridled power, Lightning strikes, forevermore, fear in the hearts of Blue Raider opponents and leads Middle Tennessee to victory!

bLUE RAIDERS In the early days of athletics at Middle Tennessee State University, the teams were known by several nicknames. Among these were Teachers, Normalites and Pedagogues. In 1934, it was decided that the school needed a specific nickname. During football season that year, the Murfreesboro Daily News Journal held a contest to come up with a name. The late Charles Sarver, then a Middle Tennessee football player and later principal at White County High School in Sparta, Tenn., won the $5 prize for his entry of “Blue Raiders.” Sarver later indicated he had “borrowed” the nickname of the Colgate Red Raiders but substituted MT Blue for Colgate Red. Ever since then, Middle Tennessee athletic teams have been known as the Blue Raiders. For a time, the unofficial mascot for the Blue Raiders was a costumed, cartoonlike dog that debuted in the 1980s. A reasonable facsimile of a bluetick hound, the affable character was dubbed “Ole Blue.” On January 17, 1998, the current mascot, “Lightning,” was born. The mascot was unveiled at a basketball game in Murphy Center. The introduction of Lightning gave a new identity to the Blue Raiders.

Sun Belt Conference
While there are 31 NCAA conferences that sponsor multiple sports, the Sun Belt is one of only 11 to participate in the Bowl Championship Series (BCS) and Football Bowl Subdivision. The Sun Belt was formed in 1976 with six members competing in four men’s sports, and today comprises 13 institutions of higher learning sponsoring 19 championship sports for men and women. The Sun Belt Conference enters its 34th season in 2009-10 with a proud history of athletic and academic success. The conference sponsors 10 women’s sports – basketball, cross country, golf, soccer, softball, swimming and diving, tennis, indoor and outdoor track and field and volleyball; and nine men’s sports – baseball, basketball, cross country, football, golf, swimming and diving, tennis and indoor and outdoor track and field. Each of the 19 sports has seen numerous team and individual accomplishments, and nearly every Sun Belt Conference school is currently graduating its student-athletes at a rate higher than its respective school’s student body. All Sun Belt schools are committed to excellence in the 21st century, and facility upgrades and expansions are taking place on every campus. During the 2008-09 academic year alone, the Sun Belt Conference accomplished numerous feats. In the fall of 2008 Middle Tennessee, FIU and Western Kentucky all represented the league in the NCAA Volleyball Tournament – the first time the Sun Belt has sent three teams to the NCAA Tournament in the sport and the second straight year the conference has sent multiple teams. Middle Tennessee advanced to the second round of the tournament, while WKU and FIU put forth strong and hard-fought efforts in the first round. The Sun Belt momentum continued in the sport of football as Florida Atlantic and Troy both earned bowl bids after impressive regular-season performances. It marked the third time in the league’s eight-year football history two teams have received postseason nods. FAU marked its place in the history books when the Owls defeated Central Michigan in the Motor City Bowl, becoming the first SBC team to win back-to-back bowl games. In men’s basketball, WKU received its second straight bid to the NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament after winning the Sun Belt Conference Championship. The Hilltoppers secured a trip to the second round with a 76-72 win over fifth-seeded Illinois and battled to the end in a heartbreaking two-point loss to Gonzaga. It was the second year in a row WKU defeated a higher-seeded team to advance past the tournament’s opening round.
On the women’s side, Middle Tennessee captured national attention with the help of standout junior Alysha Clark. The Blue Raiders spent time in the coaches’ poll Top 25. The squad earned a spot in the 2009 NCAA Women’s Basketball Tournament as Sun Belt Conference champions and finished the season with an impressive 28-6 record. Clark’s consistent performances earned her the title of the nation’s leading scorer as she averaged 27.5 points per game. The Blue Raiders will look to continue their success in the 2009-10 season, and with every student-athlete returning, they will be poised to make another strong showing. Because of its status as a member of the Football Bowl Subdivision coalition, the Sun Belt Conference has a permanent seat on the NCAA’s 17-member Board of Directors. As a result, the conference has a crucial voice on some of the most pressing issues in college athletics and will always have a role in the implementation of any future NCAA legislation and guidelines. The conference continues to utilize television to grow and promote the league and its member institutions. The Sun Belt Conference signed a new multi-year agreement with ESPN Inc. in January 2009 that will result in unprecedented national coverage for the league. Additionally, ESPN televised the conference’s men’s basketball championship game for the 29th straight season in 2009, extending its longest affiliation with any conference in the country. The conference’s regional television partnership with Comcast/Charter Sports Southeast (CSS) and Cox Sports Television (CST) enables live telecasts of Sun Belt events to reach millions of households. The addition of volleyball, baseball and softball to the conference’s television package has resulted in more national and regional television exposure for the league than at any time in its history. The Sun Belt Conference has also partnered with JumpTV Sports, Inc. to deliver a full-service, customized, public and premium website to provide fans with a broad range of realtime information and content about the conference’s athletic teams. The Sun Belt is one of the few conferences in the nation to provide video highlights and features on its website from each of the league’s respective championships. This technology is a great recruiting tool for schools by enabling anyone in the world with internet access to view the conference’s championship events. Fans in five different countries viewed the conference’s most recent soccer championship. Prominent Sun Belt alumni include former United States Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice (Denver), NFL Hall of Fame football player “Mean” Joe

Nashville: Music City U.S.A.
MT thrives in the radiant glow of Nashville’s exponential growth. Some major metropolitan areas overshadow their neighbors, but Nashville provides unprecedented economic and media support. The relationship between Davidson County and Rutherford County is akin to a big brother looking out for the up-andcoming sibling. Davidson County saw a nearly 14% population growth from 1990 to 2002, and Rutherford County boomed with a 62% increase. (Regional Profile, Nashville Chamber of Commerce, 2003) Living up to the title of Music City U.S.A. requires a more than impressive collection of media outlets, coverage and support. The Tennessean, Nashville Business Journal and the City Paper each provide superior coverage, and eight local television stations and 29 radio stations never miss a moment of news, weather and sports action in and around Davidson County. The Sun Belt Conference and its members have access to and are able to draw from the seemingly limitless resources offered by Middle Tennessee’s proximity to Nashville.
Blue Raiders reach Davidson County alums MT has more than 13,000 alumni in greater Davidson County and the Blue Raider athletic department has a far-reaching impact into the Nashville area. The Blue Raiders regularly play athletic events in Music City in order to help reach more of their vast, growing fan base.

Head Coach | Rick Insell Fifth Season Middle Tennessee/1977 Winning. Success. Results.
As Rick Insell enters his fifth season as Middle Tennessee’s head women’s basketball coach in 2009-10, he has instilled these qualities and many more throughout each aspect of the program, from the student-athletes to the University administration to the support staff to the community. When Insell was introduced as the seventh head coach in program history in May 2005, he told a packed house that his hire proves “dreams come true,” during his press conference. In four years, he has established a track record unlike any other in Middle Tennessee’s rich women’s basketball history, while also creating further lofty expectations by taking the program to the next level. “I’m a coach and it’s all I’ve ever done, from elementary to junior high to junior pro, AAU and high school,” Insell said at the press conference. “To be able to come on board at Middle Tennessee, that’s a dream come true. It says if you stay in there long enough and dream big enough, one day it will eventually happen.” Winning. No coach in school history has won as often and as much as Insell has in four years. He coached his 100th game on the sidelines in the seasonopening win against Lafayette in the Preseason WNIT last November. By the time the campaign was over, Insell registered his 100th win as the Blue Raiders captured the 2009 Sun Belt Tournament Championship over UALR. He reached the century mark faster than any other coach in program history, doing so in 15 fewer games. Insell enters his fifth season with an impressive 100-33 (.752) overall record, but when it comes to Sun Belt games, it is even more remarkable with a 59-9 (.868) regular-season ledger. He guided the Blue Raiders to a perfect 18-0 Sun Belt mark in 2006-07 and nearly pulled off the feat again last season, earning a 17-1 conference record. He has added a pair of Sun Belt regu-
lar-season championships and three Sun Belt Tournament titles to his mantle. The three tournament crowns have led to NCAA Tournament appearances, and with a Postseason WNIT berth two years ago, has put Insell-led teams in the postseason in each of his four seasons. The Blue Raiders have won at least 20 contests in each of his four years, including a school-record 30 during the 200607 campaign, which saw them own the nation’s longest winning streak at 27 games and not losing for over 100 days. Success. He has coached two WNBA selections while at Middle Tennessee. Amber Holt was selected ninth overall by the Connecticut Sun in 2008, and Chrissy Givens was picked 31st overall by the Phoenix Mercury in 2007. The pair joins Alysha Clark, a senior on this year’s team, as All-Americans under his watch. Clark became the secondstraight Lady Raider to lead the nation in scoring, as she posted a school-record 27.5 points per game average in her first season at MT last winter. Holt averaged 27.4 ppg in 2007-08, making Middle Tennessee the first women’s program in NCAA history to have two different players lead the country in scoring in consecutive seasons. Clark (935 points) and Holt (930 points) rank fifth and sixth, respectively, on the NCAA single-season scoring list. Insell has tutored a player in the na-
70 | MIDDLE TENNESSEE WOMEN’S BASKETBALL 2009-10
tion’s top 10 in scoring a remarkable 86 of a possible 93 NCAA reporting dates since he took over the program, with 61 of the 86 in the top five. Overall, MT has had a player in the top-10 national leaders for 71 consecutive NCAA reporting periods, dating back to Jan. 18, 2007. As a team, Middle Tennessee has ranked in the top 25 nationally in scoring offense and steals per game in each of Insell’s four seasons. The Blue Raiders were second in the country last year for 3-pointers made per game after finishing fourth in each of the previous two campaigns. The Blue Raiders have earned a national reputation for not being afraid to play any opponent. Anyone. Anywhere. Anytime. That is the mantra Insell and his program employs and may be one of his biggest impacts on the program. Evidence of that mindset can be found in last year’s performance, when MT faced four opponents who were ranked or received votes in the national polls, including eventual national runner-up (then-No. 13) Louisville at home and at then-No. 2 Oklahoma, a Final Four participant. Middle Tennessee also made its first trip to Baton Rouge, La., to face LSU and defeated the Tigers for the secondstraight campaign. On Dec. 28, 2007, the Blue Raiders pulled off one of the biggest upsets in the nation defeating then-No. 8 LSU inside the Murphy Center, 67-56, in front of the second-largest crowd in

school history (7,858). The squad has also knocked off thenNo. 8 Georgia on the road, 70-62, during the 2006-07 season and welcomed defending national champion and preseason No. 1 Maryland to the Murphy Center for the 2006-07 season opener. Other notable national programs who have been on the slate since the Insell era began include Tennessee, Penn State, Virginia, Minnesota, Old Dominion, Arizona, Indiana, Alabama, Kentucky and South Dakota State. Middle Tennessee has won the Sun Belt Tournament three times in his four seasons, advancing to the NCAA Tournament each time. In 2007, the Blue Raiders earned their first NCAA Tournament victory under his guidance with a First Round triumph over Gonzaga. In 2006, MT faced Utah and in 2009, the Lady Raiders battled Michigan State. The 2007-08 campaign saw the team playing in the Postseason WNIT, defeating Western Carolina in the opening round before falling in overtime at Kentucky. Results. Middle Tennessee has reached the top 25 rankings twice under his watch, including two appearances in the ESPN/USA Today Coaches poll in 2008-09. The highest ranking in school history came during the 2006-07 campaign, when the Lady Raiders reached an unprecedented height of No. 16 in both the Associated Press and Coaches polls. No other program in Sun Belt history has won more regular-season conference games over a four-year span than Insell’s Blue Raiders. MT has captured 59 wins during the stretch, setting a new conferFIVE SUN BELT CHAMPIONSHIPS IN SIX YEARS
ence mark and bettering the Louisiana Tech teams from 1997-98 to 2000-01. Insell led his team to a 28-6 record a year ago, and he captured his second Sun Belt Coach of the Year award along the way. He previously was named the league’s best following the 200607 campaign. Last season, the Blue Raiders participated in the Preseason WNIT and matched a school record with a 15-1 (.938) mark inside the Murphy Center. MT has dropped only one home Sun Belt game in his four seasons, compiling a staggering 36-1 (.973) mark. The Lady Raiders won 18 in a row at one point, with all but one of the conference wins being by double-digit margins. In 2007-08, the Holt-led team finished 22-12, including 14-4 in the Sun Belt. The previous season, Insell guided the Blue Raiders to a 30-4 record and their fourthstraight NCAA Tournament appearance and Sun Belt Tournament title, tying school records for both achievements. During Insell’s first year on the bench, 2005-06, MT posted a 20-11 (10-4 SBC) mark. Insell’s system churns out top scorers, including the top-three single-season leaders in school history in each of the last three years: Clark, 935 (2008-09); Holt, 930 (2007-08); and Givens, 768 (200607). Clark will soon pass the 1,000-point plateau at MT, needing just 65 points

to reach the mark and become the 21st player in school history in the club. She already has over 2,000 points for her career. Three players – Givens, Tia Stovall and Krystle Horton – all joined the 1,000point brigade during his first season becoming the first set of three players to join the prestigious list in the same year. His mark has also been noticed on the recruiting trail. His first class was ranked No. 10 nationally and included current players Brandi Brown, Chelsia Lymon and Jackie Pickel. This year’s five-player class, all hailing from Tennessee, was rated as high as No. 27 by ESPN HoopGurlz and No. 38 by Blue Star Basketball’s Chris Mennig. His other significant impact has been attendance at home games. Middle Tennessee led the nation in increased attendance percentage in 2005-06, drawing 2,699 fans per game, a 276 percent increase over the previous season. A single-game school record 10,010 passed through the turnstiles for the Maryland season opener the next year, ranking among the top 50 nation-wide for a 200607 game. The Blue Raiders are consistently ranked among the top 35 programs nationally in attendance; an average of 3,534 turned out for the 16 home games this past season to rank No. 33 in the country. Middle Tennessee has also given back
to the community during his tenure, holding a pair of jersey auctions of the team’s pink uniforms as part of the Women’s Basketball Coaches Association’s Pink Zone initiative. The auctions raised over $18,000 each time with the money split and given to the Kay Yow/WBCA Cancer Fund and Middle Tennessee Medical Center. The Blue Raiders are also active in the community, participating in the March of Dimes walk, assisting with Habitat for Humanity and tutoring local elementary school students. Insell serves on the WBCA’s committee for the Maggie Dixon Division I Rookie Coach of the Year Award. His term on the committee runs through 2011. He also paired with former Riverdale High School coach Micheal Burt in coauthoring The Anatomy of Winning – How to REWIRE People to Win. The book was released March 1, 2009, as the Blue Raiders closed the regular season with a home victory against Western Kentucky on Comcast/Charter Sports Southeast (CSS). A 1977 Middle Tennessee graduate, Insell built a high school girl’s basketball dynasty at nearby Shelbyville Central
High School, just a 30-minute drive from the MT campus. He guided the Golden Eaglettes to a record 10 Tennessee Secondary Schools Athletic Association (TSSAA) Class 3A state championships and two USA Today national championships (1989, 1991), compiling a sparkling 775-148 (84.0 percent) ledger during his 28-year tenure. He was named the USA Today National High School Coach of the Year following both national titles and was also tabbed the Converse National High School Coach of the Year in 1990 and 1992. A name synonymous with high school girl’s basketball in the state, Insell’s teams hold the Tennessee state records for consecutive wins (110), consecutive state titles with four (1989-92) and most state championships for a coach with 10 (1986-89-90-9192-95-2000-01-03-04). The 110 straight triumphs are seventh in the national record books. His 1990 Golden Eaglette squad was selected as the Tennessee Sports Hall of Fame Team of the Year, the first high school team to be recognized. Insell was elected to the National High School Hall of Fame in February 2007 and

SIX CONSECUTIVE POSTSEASON APPEARANCES
2008-09 Highlights
coach Rick Insell tallied his •100th Head career victory when the Blue
Raiders defeated UALR 74-54 to win the Sun Belt Tournament Championship March 10. He is the fourth head coach in program history to reach the century mark, but did so in the fewest games. He attained the mark in 132 career games on the bench, 15 faster than the 147 previously set by Larry Joe Inman. Insell also registered the most wins in program history for a coach in his or her first 100 games with 73 following the season-opening 85-47 triumph over Lafayette in the Preseason WNIT November 15. Three other coaches, including Inman, Lewis Bivens and Stephany Smith won 61 times in their first 100 contests. Middle Tennessee set a Sun Belt Conference record for most regularseason league wins in a four-year span with 59 following its 74-54 win at Florida International February 25. The previous mark stood at 57 by Louisiana Tech (1997-98 to 2000-01), while the mark eclipsed the 53 MT had set from 2004-05 to 2007-08. The Blue Raiders extended a couple of streaks to six this season: consecutive years of reaching the postseason and attaining at least

20 wins. Among the six postseason appearances, five feature NCAA Tournament berths. The 20 victories were achieved in the second-fewest games in school history, only taking 24 contests, after the 77-49 triumph at Denver February 4. Middle Tennessee became the first school in NCAA women’s basketball history to have two different players lead the nation in scoring in back-to-back seasons after Amber Holt did it in 2007-08 and Alysha Clark in 2008-09. The Blue Raiders are just the third program overall, joining men’s teams Furman (1953-54 and 195455) and Loyola Marymount (1988-89 and 1989-90). Clark ended the year with 935 points, ranking fifth on the all-time Division I single-season list and eclipsing the previous school record of 930 set by Amber Holt in 200708. Clark was one of only two players nationally, joining Louisville’s Angel McCoughtry, to top the 900-point plateau this season, but McCoughtry’s 901 came in five more games than Clark after leading the Cardinals to the national championship game. Clark also scored a national-best, school record and Sun Belt Conference-record tying 50 points in the 7560 victory at Troy February 11. The 50 points are just 10 shy of the all-time NCAA Division I mark of 60 set in 1987. The league record, which she matched, was set in 1993 and the

half-century total surpassed the previous school standard by six points. Clark posted a Murphy Center record 45 points in the regular-season finale, an 87-61 triumph over Western Kentucky March 1. It broke the previous venue mark set three times by two different players. Four players ended the season with at least 100 career 3-pointers made with three earning a spot in the program’s top-10 career chart. Among those in the century club are Brandi Brown (t-3rd, 182), Jackie Pickel (7th, 165), Chelsia Lymon (10th, 134) and Anne Marie Lanning (106). They helped the Blue Raiders finish with 296 triples on the season, setting a new program record and eclipsing the previous mark of 277 set in 2006-07. Middle Tennessee went undefeated at home in Sun Belt action for the fourth time in the last five seasons with a 9-0 mark. The Blue Raiders league record inside the Murphy Center during that five-year span is 43-1. MT ended the season with a player among the nation’s top-five leading scorers during 25 of the 26 reporting dates. As a whole under Insell, the Blue Raiders have had a player in the top 10 national leaders

Postseason History - NCAAs 1982-83
OVC Regular Season Champions OVC Tournament Champions 2nd Round - NCAA Tournament Midwest Regional March 15, 1983 JSU Athletics and Assembly Center JACKSON, Miss. — In their very first NCAA appearance, the Blue Raiders posted a 6461 victory over homestanding Jackson State in one of four play-in contests (one in each region) to decide the eighth seed in each regional. The Blue Raiders fell behind, 34-29, at halftime, but turned it around in the second half for the win despite shooting only 36 percent (23-of-64) from the field and 56 percent (18-of-32) from the foul line. Eva Lemeh led the way for Middle Tennessee with 23 points. Jennifer McFall scored 12, and she and Holly Hoover each grabbed nine boards. Karen Taylor posted game-highs with 28 points and 16 rebounds for Jackson State.
Midwest Regional March 17, 1983 Thomas Assembly Center RUSTON, La. — The Blue Raiders ran into a hornet’s nest, as the top-seeded and eventual tournament runner-up Lady Techsters jumped out to a 50-19 halftime lead and never looked back in taking the 9159 second-round victory. The Blue Raiders were led by Jennifer McFall’s 22 points. Holly Hoover and Eva Lemeh each scored 12, with Hoover pulling down a teamhigh eight rebounds. Janice Lawrence scored 22 for Tech to go with 11 boards, four blocks and three steals.

Mideast Regional March 14, 1984 Stokely Athletic Center
Mideast Regional March 17, 1985 E.A. Diddle Arena
KNOXVILLE, Tenn. — The Blue Raiders earned more respect in their second straight tournament appearance, receiving the No. 6 seed in the Mideast. There was one catch, though - Middle Tennessee would be meeting the third-seeded Lady Vols of Tennessee. Middle Tennessee stumbled early and never quite got back in the game, falling in Stokely Athletic Center to the Lady Vols. Kim Webb scored 18 to lead the Blue Raiders but had little help, except for Jennifer McFall’s 13 points. Holly Hoover led the rebounding effort with nine. Tennessee was led by Mary Ostrowski with 22 points and 14 rebounds. Tanya Haave added 14 points. For the second year in a row, the Blue Raiders lost to the tournament’s eventual runner-up.
BOWLING GREEN, Ky. — The 1985 tourney brought a fifth seed to the Blue Raiders and a trip to Bowling Green to face the Lady Toppers of Western Kentucky. In the face of heavy foul trouble, Middle Tennessee held tough but fell, 90-83, in Diddle Arena. Two important starters, Jennifer McFall and Janet Ross, played only 34 minutes combined. As they had many times during that season, Kim Webb (33) and Alice Lawrence (27) combined to score the bulk of Blue Raider points. Shawnzia Davis was the only other Blue Raider in double figures with 10 points. Webb grabbed a game-high 10 rebounds. Gina Brown came off the Western Kentucky bench to score 24 points. The Lady Topper bench outscored Middle Tennessee’s, 28-14. Western would become the third straight team to oust Middle Tennessee and move on to the Final Four.

LAWRENCE, Kan. — Facing the seventh seed in the Midwest Regional, Middle Tennessee found its way to Allen Fieldhouse at the University of Kansas. Sandy Brown scorched the nets for 23 points and Lianne Beck added 19, but it was to no avail, as the Blue Raiders dropped a tightly-played six-point decision at Kansas. The “Phog” held its magic for the Lady Jayhawks, as Lisa Baker tossed in 28 points and pulled down 10 boards. Sandy Shaw scored 14 points, dished out six assists and made four steals. Stephanie Capley scored 15 points and grabbed a teamhigh nine rebounds for Middle Tennessee in the loss.
LAWRENCE, Kan. — Middle Tennessee received an at-large bid to the NCAA Tournament, the first in school history. The 13th-seeded Blue Raiders returned to the sight of their last NCAA tournament game, Phog Allen Fieldhouse. The Blue Raiders could not find their range offensively, shooting just 33 percent from the field and hitting only 5-of-24 3-point attempts. Freshman Carlita Elder led all scorers with 19 and tied for team-high honors in rebounding (Trella Thomas and Jonelda Buck) with five boards. Heather Prater and Natalie Sneed added 10 points apiece. Prater had four assists and four steals as well. The Jayhawks were led by Tomecka Dixon and Charisse Sampson with 16 points each. Nakia Sanford added nine points, nine boards, five blocks and three steals.
DURHAM, N.C. — An unlikely run ended abruptly for the Blue Raiders, as they dropped a 92-67 decision at eighth-ranked and second-seeded Duke in the first round of the NCAA Tournament. The Blue Devils took early command of the contest and never looked back in moving on to the second round. Duke led the entire way and built an early 14-point advantage in the opening frame. Bama Burrell, playing with two fouls, spurred a run to cut it to six with 8:16 to go in the half, but before the half was over, the Blue Devils pushed the lead out to 20. Middle Tennessee would not give up. Down by 26 (59-33) with 15:33 to play, the Blue Raiders cut into the lead with a 16-6 run capped by a Cortney Neeley 3-pointer with 10:55 to go. Duke would not be denied and kept control down the stretch. Freshman Kelly Chastain led the Blue Raiders with 16 points, all in the second half. Carlita Elder added 15 points. Duke had five double-digit scorers, led by Michele VanGorp’s 19. Peppi Browne added 15 points and six rebounds. The Blue Devils hit 60 percent of their shots for the game while the Blue Raiders shot 41.3 percent. The much-taller Duke squad held a 38-31 advantage on the boards.
SOUTH BEND, Ind. — Middle Tennessee shocked 12thranked and No. 4 seed North Carolina, 67-62, in the first round of the NCAA Tournament at the Joyce Center at Notre Dame. Middle Tennessee led by 12 with 6:48 to go, but Nikita Bell sparked a 10-0 run by North Carolina. A pair of free throws by Kenya McBee trimmed the lead to two, 60-58, with 3:44 to go. Tar Heel Candace Sutton had a chance to tie the game with 34 seconds left to play, but her lay-up rimmed out. Freshman Krystle Horton grabbed the rebound and Keisha McClinic was fouled with 26 seconds left to play.
SOUTH BEND, Ind. — Middle Tennessee dropped a 59-46 decision to fifth-seeded Notre Dame in the second round of the NCAA Tournament, ending the Blue Raiders season. The Blue Raiders came out strong in the first half and led by as many as five points twice and trailed by just three at halftime. But an 11-minute scoring drought, including the first 10 minutes of the second half, doomed the squad. ND’s Jacqueline Batteast ended the game with 27 points, 14 of those points in the second half.

TUCSON, Ariz. — Middle Tennessee could not pull an NCAA Tournament upset for the third year in a row, squandering a 15-point second half lead and dropping a 76-71 decision to 18th-ranked Utah. Junior Chrissy Givens nearly picked up her first-ever triple-double, as she led Middle Tennessee with 25 points, a career-high 11 assists and seven rebounds. Johnna Abney poured in 15 points while Krystle Horton and Tia Stovall added 10 each. Leading 68-67 with 3:11 to play, the Blue Raiders would not score again until Abney hit a three-pointer with four seconds left in the game. The squad had chances, however. Givens missed two free throws at the 2:41 mark, Starr Orr missed a jumper on the right baseline, and then Stovall was called for a charge after she was successful on a short jumper. After Middle Tennessee went ahead 57-42 at the 10:11 mark, Utah’s Shona Thorburn scored 19 of her team-high 21 points in the final 9:36 of the game, including the last eight in a row, to provide the difference for the Utes.
STANFORD, Calif. — MT’s Blue Raiders know what it’s like to win as a No. 12 seed in the NCAA Tournament. What they didn’t want to feel was the anguish of losing in the first round as a No. 5 seed. No worries on this night as MT jumped all over Gonzaga Saturday from the onset and raced off for an 85-46 victory at Stanford’s Maples Pavilion. MT improved to 30-3 — the most wins ever in one season — and won its 27th consecutive game. “ Gonzaga handled the Blue Raiders’ press well early but eventually wilted under the pressure. Givens led all scorers with 24 points. -- Monte Hale, Daily News Journal
STANFORD, Calif. — Middle Tennessee played from behind almost the entire game and every time the 17th-ranked Blue Raiders made a run, Marist answered, as the Red Foxes advanced to the Sweet 16 with a 73-59 victory. Middle Tennessee scored the first eight points of the second half. The Blue Raiders pulled within 42-40 but no closer. Givens led the Blue Raiders with 16 points, while Krystle Horton added 10 points and six rebounds. Holt was just 2-for-10 from the field and Middle Tennessee made only 7-of-26 from the 3-point line, though Jackie Pickel had a trio of trifectas and Brandi Brown added a pair.
EAST LANSING, Mich. - Middle Tennessee led for nearly the whole game and had a missed opportunity in the final 10 seconds in falling, 60-59, to Michigan State. Second Team All-American pick Alysha Clark dominated the offensive scoring for both teams with a game-high 34 points to go with 10 rebounds. The 34 points are also a MT tournament record, breaking Kim Webb’s 33 set versus Western Kentucky in the 1985 Mideast Regional in Bowling Green, Ky. The Lady Raiders could not manage another player in double figures, as Brandi Brown (nine) and Jackie Pickel (eight) were next in the scoring column. Aisha Jefferson paced Michigan State with a doubledouble effort of 20 points and 10 rebounds. Kalisha Keane and Cetera Washington each chipped in double-figure outings with 13 and 12, respectively. Allyssa DeHaan, the Spartans’6-9 center, helped limit MT in the paint with six blocked shots out of the team’s 11 total. The game marked the 12th NCAA Tournament appearance in school history, dropping MT’s record to 5-12 in the annual championship event. It also marked game No. 34 of the campaign, matching the program record for most in a single season.

DALLAS, Texas — Senior Patrice Holmes hit a 10-footer with 1.6 seconds remaining, giving Middle Tennessee a 60-58 victory over 21st-ranked and fifth-seeded North Carolina State in the first round of the NCAA Tournament. Holmes tied her seasonhigh with 28 points, but none more important than the final two to help the Blue Raiders advance to the second round. Middle Tennessee led 26-25 at halftime. Two free throws by Chrissy Givens with 5:03 left gave Middle Tennessee its first lead since halftime and set up the final five minutes of nip-and-tuck between the two teams.
DALLAS, Texas — Middle Tennessee dug a big hole in the first half and almost climbed out in the final 20 minutes, finally succumbing to fourth-seeded and 14thranked Texas Tech, 80-69, in the second round.. The Blue Raiders fell behind by as many as 21 points, but fought back, pulling as close as 71-62 with 4:32 to play in the game.

March 11, 1999 Elma Roane Fieldhouse MEMPHIS, Tenn. — After a disappointing home loss to Tennessee State in the opening round of the OVC Tournament, the Blue Raiders’ hopes of a second consecutive trip to the NCAA Tournament were dashed. However the team, under second-year head coach Stephany Smith, collected the program’s first-ever bid to the Women’s NIT. The task would be daunting, as the Blue Raiders would face Memphis and All-American Tamika Whitmore. The game was a see-saw battle early in the first half, with both teams trying to hold on to small leads. The Lady Tigers went on a 10-0 run with six minutes remaining in the first half and clung to a 34-32 lead at intermission. Bama Burrell led Middle Tennessee in the first half, scoring six points and collecting three boards. The second half opened with an 11-4 run by Middle Tennessee, giving the team a 41-40 lead at the 13:18 mark. A three-pointer by Cortney Neeley and a jumper by Kelly Chastain put the team back over the hump. The team would take one more one-point lead during the game but foul trouble sealed the team’s fate with seven minutes to go, with Memphis making 17-of-26 foul shots to seal the victory.
March 14, 2001 Assembly Hall BLOOMINGTON, Ind. — The Blue Raiders struggled early, but used a patented late-season run to earn the school’s second trip to the Women’s NIT in three years. Middle Tennessee won 10 of its last 12 games, with both losses to Louisiana Tech, to finish 9-7 in the school’s first year of play in the Sun Belt, good for third in the conference. Junior Jamie Thomatis led the way for the Blue Raiders during the season, posting double-digit scoring games in 29 of 30 contests and leading the squad in rebounds with 7.5 per game. Junior Joanne Aluka also chipped in 11.7 points and 6.5 rebounds an outing. Against the Hoosiers, Middle Tennessee struggled from the field, especially from 3-point range, making only 2-of-11 in the contest. The Blue Raiders made only 35 percent from the floor in the first half and headed to intermission trailing, 34-24. IU opened the lead to as many as 20 points in the second half, but a furious run by the Blue Raiders got the game as close as three with 2:38 remaining after Jessica McClure converted a layup. But that was as close as Middle Tennessee would get, dropping a three-point decision.
March 19, 2008 Murphy Center MURFREESBORO, Tenn. - Middle Tennessee started the game with a 24-6 run and never looked back, knocking down 13 3-pointers and placing six players in double figures en route to a 104-69 victory over Western Carolina in the first round of the WNIT at Murphy Center. Amber Holt led all scorers with 30 points and nine rebounds, while five other players scored between 10 and 13 points. Chelsia Lymon and Brandi Brown scored 13 apiece, Starr Orr netted 12, Jackie Pickel had 11 and Anne Marie Lanning posted 10. Emily Queen added nine points and 10 rebounds. The Blue Raiders played perhaps their finest half of basketball of the season in the opening 20 minutes, taking a 51-26 advantage to intermission. Brown and Lymon both hit a pair of 3-pointers in the second half and Holt was 7-of-8 from the field for 16 points. Queen also grabbed seven of the team’s 22 rebounds. The Blue Raiders pushed the lead to as many as 39 in the second half after WCU began to press, opening driving lanes and kickouts for shooters. The 13 3-pointers were the second most for Middle Tennessee in a game this season and the ninth contest with double-digit trifectas in 2007-08.
March 21, 2008 Memorial Coliseum LEXINGTON, Ky. - Brandi Brown hit a 3-pointer in the final seconds to send the game to overtime but Middle Tennessee scored just a pair of buckets in the extra period, as the Wildcats escaped with a 68-66 victory over the Blue Raiders in the second round of the WNIT at Memorial Coliseum. Kentucky (16-15) led the game almost the entire second half after a 9-0 run in the opening minutes, but the Blue Raiders continued to hang around despite shooting less than 30 percent most of the period. Amber Holt scored two of her 32 points on a layup with 22.3 seconds remaining. After a timeout the Blue Raiders (22-12) forced a turnover on an inbounds pass by the Wildcats and took the ball under the Middle Tennessee goal. Holt got the inbounds and drove to the basket, kicking it out for Brown, who nailed a three-pointer from the corner with a hand in her face to send the game into overtime. In the overtime, UK’s Samantha Mahoney hit a driving layup 56 seconds into the extra period, and it was the only points for either team until Holt scored with 1:11 remaining. Watkins hit a turnaround jumper as the shot clock expired for the Wildcats before Holt scored again.
