After two games on the road, the Middle Tenn. Blue Raiders are heading back home. The Blue Raiders and the Texas-El Paso Miners will face off in a Conference USA battle at 7 p.m. ET Monday at Murphy Athletic Center. Middle Tenn. is out to keep their 12-game home win streak alive.

Middle Tenn. netted an 87-79 win over the Florida Atlantic Owls this past Saturday.

Meanwhile, while not quite a landslide, the matchup between Texas-El Paso and the Southern Miss Golden Eagles this past Saturday was still a pretty decisive one as Texas-El Paso wrapped it up with an 84-70 victory on the road.

Middle Tenn. is the favorite in this one, with an expected 5.5-point margin of victory. They might be worth taking a chance on against the spread as they are currently on a four-game streak of ATS wins.

The Blue Raiders were close but no cigar when the teams previously met two seasons ago as they fell 60-56 to the Miners. Can Middle Tenn. avenge their defeat, or is history doomed to repeat itself? We'll soon find out.
