MTSU basketball fans still have times to cast
their votes for the Blue Raider men’s team to win the “Best Upset” category in
this year’s ESPY Awards.
The Blue Raiders made history in March when they became just the
eighth No. 15 seed to defeat a No. 2 seed in the NCAA Tournament, upending No.
2 ranked Michigan State Spartans in the opening round, 90-81, on March 18.
The ESPYs take place at 7 p.m. CT Wednesday, July 13, and will be
televised on ABC. Fan voting for each category can be found at ESPYs.com and is
open until the beginning of the awards show.
Murfreesboro mayor and MTSU alumnus Shane McFarland is doing his
part to encourage Middle Tennessee to vote for the Blue Raiders.
“As a mayor and Blue Raider alumnus, I couldn’t be more excited
about supporting MT Basketball in national recognition for the team’s upset
against Michigan State in the NCAA tournament earlier this year,” McFarland
said in a city news release. “Now we have the opportunity to show our
appreciation by voting the amazing game as the ‘Best Upset’ in this year’s ESPY
Awards. I encourage all MT fans to go online and vote.”
