As the Middle Tennessee Blue Raiders gear up for their next challenge against the Western Kentucky Hilltoppers , fans are eager to see if they can maintain their recent momentum. The upcoming game is set to take place at the Von Braun Center, a venue that has witnessed its fair share of nail-biting finishes.

The Blue Raiders are coming off a hard-fought victory in their last outing at this very arena during the Conference USA Quarterfinals. They managed to edge out Louisiana Tech Bulldogs with a final score of 70-67. This win was characterized by a strong second-half performance where they outscored their opponents 43-35.

Analyzing the statistics from that game reveals some key trends for Middle Tennessee. Their shooting from beyond the arc was impressive, hitting 43 percent of their three-point attempts. However, they'll need to improve on converting two-point shots where they only made 38 percent. Free throws were a highlight with an excellent completion rate of 86 percent, which could be crucial in close encounters.

Defensively, Middle Tennessee showed tenacity with six steals and five blocks while also limiting turnovers to just eleven for the entire game – an aspect that will be vital against Western Kentucky's aggressive play style.

Rebounding is another area where Middle Tennessee will want to focus on improvement; despite winning, they were outrebounded by Louisiana Tech who grabbed eight more boards overall.

As both teams prepare for this matchup, fans can expect an intense battle as each team looks to assert dominance early on and control the pace of the game. The Blue Raiders' ability to execute under pressure and capitalize on scoring opportunities will be key factors in determining whether they can come away with another victory at Von Braun Center.

Be sure not miss this exciting encounter scheduled for March 15th at 2:00 PM local time (AL). Fans can catch all the action live on CBS Sports Network as these two teams go head-to-head once again in Huntsville.
