MTSU and Vanderbilt Men's Basketball will go head to head tonight at Bridgestone Arena in downtown Nashville. Tip off is at 8:00pm(CT). You can check it out on ESPNU. MT is favored by 5 and half points, last I checked. We have sold about 5,500 tickets for the game. Let's hope we pull out the win and make the future C-USA proud! Go Blue!

FAU plays Indiana tonight as well. Yay.....

Can't wait for tonight! We hung with a GOOD Vandy team last year in their house (sauna). I fully expect a win tonight, unless we shoot like we did against Belmont.

If Cintron is on and our defense hustles like they did against Ole Miss. We will be solid.

It'll be a home court game for us (last I heard, we sold over 7,000 for the game), considering Vandy doesn't bring people anywhere other than Memorial. In any case, let's go crush the Dores. Please.

Do they refuse to play you in a true home game?

We played them once two years ago, and that was the only time in our 5 game/year series.

I see y'all are favored--I'm a little surprised. I'd love to see you all pull it off.

Last I saw, we were favored by 6.5. I hope we beat them by triple that.

56-52

MT wins

Always nice to beat the commodorks.

It was 8v5 for most of the game. Refs were absolutely horrible and crowd was upset entire game.

8,307 (Vandy probably had 300-500 there, barely filled up one section)

Kerry Hammonds with a steal and layup under 2 mins to get the win.

Here is a picture from ESPN.com showing some of the crowd

Yep. Anyone who thinks we can't be relevant in Nashville got a lesson if they watched that one. We had 95% of the crowd, conservatively. May have been 98%.

That's a big win. Congrats MTSU.

Good W MTSU

Congrats on the win MTSU!

Good job, Raiders!!!!!

Thanks!

Listening to the ESPNU broadcast, sounds like Carolyn Peck is one of those $EC announcers... Thankfully Rich Hollenburg balanced her out, he's done all of the MT games recently.
