Jerry Beck had 22 points to pace the Raider offense, and Derek Smith had 17 to lead the Cards.

Middle Tennessee played the highly favored Tarheels dead even for nearly 30 minutes, but finally succumbed to superior size and depth. At halftime, the two teams were tied at 31, but midway through the second period, North Carolina began to pull steadily ahead. The Raiders were outrebounded 41-31; outshot 52.8 percent to 38.6; and outscored at the foul line, 20-3. Lonnie Thompson scored 20 points for the Raiders, and the Tarheel’s scoring was paced by 25 from Brad Daugherty.

After receiving the only at-large bid in the history of the Ohio Valley Conference, the Blue Raiders lost something of a see-saw battle with Notre Dame’s Irish. Middle Tennessee led early in the first half, fell behind, then led again for a time late in the half only to see Notre Dame pull to a 37-31 halftime edge. The Raiders never led in the second half, but pulled within two points twice, with 5:59 remaining and at 5:20. Dwayne Rainey had 22 points for Middle Tennessee. He also led all rebounders in the game with nine.
