Stats show Middle shot 32%. I am surprised it was that high. Worst game I have seen the Lady raiders play in several years. Congrats to FIU on a big win.

Just curious, if MT dominated play early but never lead by more than 3, what criteria for "domination" are you using?

It appeared that way. If you didn't look at the scoreboard, you would have thought we had opened up an early double digit lead. We were very aggressive on defense with many steals and tons of pressure. Not sure why, but we never pulled away on the scoreboard. it felt like this the first 5 minutes of the game, then FIU took control of the game. never opened a big lead, but we just couldn't catch back up. i know it sounds weird, but that is how it felt to me. This was my first Lady raider game this year and I left extremely disappointed.

I felt like we were beaten early in the second half. Just didn't feel like we'd pull through. Coley is one heck of a nice player.
