Good point. Our defense is tremendous. I have always been suspicious of our rebounding but I guess it's pretty good.

You rebound better than the eye test would suggest. Coaching.

Quite true. Kermit knows his X's and O's.

Congrats, MTSU fans.

I hope you guys take home the title.

Good luck vs ODU!

Thanks! Hope we can have both our men and ladies in the NCAAs. Marshall has had a tremendous turnaround this year. Very impressive!

GG MTSU fans, great game, an arse whipping, GL in the finals.

We should have at least a few thousand fans tomorrow! Lots of folks heading down. Super excited. Wish I could make it, but I can't :(

Go ODU. Im bitter.

Great game Blue Raiders.... We just can't get over the hump against you in the basketball post season... You deserve the win.... Hands down.... Solid performance... Good luck tomorrow... Beat ODU and get to the NCAA....

The way I see it... I NEVER expected us to even be in the picture...so I am proud of my Herd team... It wasn't in the cards for us this year.. But no one can convince me that CUSA basketball is bottom of the barrel...

In retrospect, MT was the better team. My congratulations to the Blue Raiders. Personally, I think they'll take the tourney, but should be a good game.

As for the Herd, thanks, guys. LIkely your last game at 17-16, but what a great "step forward" season. Going from 12 seed to 3rd seed is a major advance. Proud of you all.
