Also in double digits was Terriell Bradley (18) and Terra Ellison (10).
Noteworthy: A total of 7 players fouled out in this game — 3 Mean Green players (Ellison, Warren, & Bradley) and 4 Owl players (Ducat, Hawkins, Iademarco, & Ellig).
The Mean Green return home for a two game homestand against the Florida twins. Currently both teams are at the bottom of the conference standings so it is important the Mean Green capitalize on these next two games on their home court. First on the docket is Florida Atlantic on Thursday, February 9th at 7:00 PM in Denton, TX.
