Approximately 5,800 fourth- and fifth-grade students from 26 Rutherford County Schools spent Monday morning cheering on the MTSU men’s basketball team at Murphy Center for the annual Education Day game.

Before tipoff, the Homer Pittard Campus School choir sang the national anthem. MTSU went on to win the game 97-51 over Oglethorpe University.

A special thanks to the 93 bus drivers for transporting students to and from the game.
