The Mean Green fell to the UTEP Miners this evening in El Paso, TX. \u00a0North Texas continued to struggle shooting from the Free Throw line shooting just 16 of 32. \u00a0So far this season the Mean Green are shooting 59.5%, which puts it towards the very bottom of the NCAA rankings.<\/p>\n

Tonight’s Player of the Game is Jeremy Combs<\/a> who accounted for 20 points on 9 of 13 (69.2%) from the floor and 2 of 5 (40%) from the Free Throw line while also cleaning up the glass with 19 total Rebounds (2 Offensive; 17 Defensive) on 31 minutes of play even while struggle with foul trouble. \u00a0Also in double figures for the Mean Green was J-Mychal Reese (17) and coming off the bench Eric Katenda (12).<\/p>\n

Next to Combs, Eric Katenda did a good job rebounding the ball picking up 9 Rebounds (1 Offensive; 8 Defensive). Unfortunately he fouled out in the game and so he missed an opportunity to pick up a double-double.<\/p>\n

The Mean Green return to the court on Saturday, January at 1:00 PM in Denton, TX at The SuperPit. \u00a0The game is on\u00a0TV (American Sports Network<\/a>) and KNTU<\/a>\/KHYI<\/a>.<\/p>\n
