With less than 10 seconds on the clock and the ball in Lipscomb guard Will Pruitt’s hands, Middle Tennessee fans cheered loudly as the ball rolled off Pruitt’s fingertips. The three-point attempt smacked off the backboard and into Middle Tennessee’s Essam Mostafa’s hands for his 10th and final rebound of the night. The big man let out a yell that could be heard over the raucous crowd, signifying the end of a hard-fought 67-65 win for Middle Tennessee (9-3, 0-0 CUSA) over the Lipscomb Bisons (7-5, 0-0 ASUN).
