Player of the Game goes to A.J. Lawson who exploded with a career high 23 points and 12 rebounds, giving him his first double-double in a Mean Green uniform. He shot 8 of 12 (38.1%) from the floor, 3 of 6 (50%) from the land of the three, and 6 of 10 (60%) from the charity stripe. He also added 5 offensive and 7 defensive rebounds, an assist and a steal to his stat line on 35 minutes of play.
Also in double figures was J-Mychal Reese (16), Derail Green (12), and Ja’Michael Brown (10).
Up next for the Mean Green is Old Dominion on January January 28th at 2:00 PM where hopefully North Texas has revenge on their mind after losing 55-48 on January 2nd. North Texas is still in search of their first win in conference action and for the month of January. Their last win was against Southeastern Louisiana before the Christmas break. North Texas has 10 games remaining and must win 9 of those in order to finish with a 15-15 record.
