Marcus Morrison also chipped in 18 points and 7 rebounds for the Blue Raiders (4-2) while Adam Vogelsberg scored 13 points and Bud Howard, 12.

The Bruins (3-3) led much of the first half behind the interior play of Boomer Herndon, who tallied 10 points and 9 rebounds in the opening half.

And when Justin Hare sank two free throws twelve minutes in, Belmont claimed its biggest advantage at 22-16.

But a three-point play from Morrison with 5 minutes to go in the half gave the Blue Raiders their first lead at 24-22. Middle Tennessee continued the momentum, using a 7-0 run toward the end of the half to pull ahead.

When Young punctuated a halfcourt screen and roll with an emphatic jam at the 9:01 mark, the Blue Raiders seized their biggest lead of the night, 66-46.

Hare led Belmont with 17 points, while Andrew Preston scored 16.
