UTC 57 - MTSU 54


We're hoarse tonight. Our Lady Mocs played a long hard game against MTSU (Middle Tennessee State University), and were all but expected to get blown out of the gym. The Ladies played probably one of their best games ever, and WON 57-54. It was SO exciting!

The game was hard fought by both teams. However, one of the things made this game so special happened off the court. There was a good crowd of students and the usual fans of the Lady Mocs. But there was also a large contingent of MTSU fans, sitting together, wearing their school's blue and white colors, and noisy supporting their team. The pep band played, the cheerleaders danced and tumbled, and the Elite Dancers entertained. The gym was wonderfully noisy.

There were special games going on during the times-out, and a great magical act during half-time. And, at least from our viewpoint, the best team won.

And you could get all this for $5.00 for a general admission ticket! You could spend more by buying a program, food, drink, or souvenirs. But women's basketball has got to be one of the biggest bargains around. Granted, you can pay more to see a Top-25 team (like our wonderful Lady Vols, Duke, Texas, UConn, etc.), but at your local college, you'll still see some great basketball.

Get out and go see some Women's Basketball games.
