When Kevin Stallings put nearby Middle Tennessee State on the Commodores’ 2012 basketball slate, you can bet he didn’t expect for the Blue Raiders to come in boasting a 19-2 record and a perfect 8-0 mark in the Sun Belt Conference:
“It certainly looks like a tough game right now. You can expect all of them to be tough, but Middle’s having a great year. They have a very, very good team. (Belmont coach) Rick Byrd told me early in the year when he played them after the first times, he said, ‘I’m telling you, they’re not really good for Middle or really good for their league. They’re really good.’ They’ve certainly proven him to be 100% correct.”
Vandy and MTSU battle at Memorial Gym tomorrow afternoon. The Commodores have won nine of their last 10 games and crushed Tennessee on Tuesday.
