North Texas fell to the Western Kentucky Hill Toppers tonight in Denton bringing the Mean Green to 7-11 overall and 2-3 in conference. \u00a0Again, Free Throw shooting was a problem with the team shooting just 57.7% (15-26), which is right around the season average. \u00a0It should also be noted that the Mean Green came in to tonight’s game ranked #350 out of 351 Div. 1 schools<\/a>. Tonight’s performance is likely to help move the middle very much.<\/p>\n The Mean Green have 13 games to win 9 games in order to finish the regular season at 16-15. \u00a0It is quickly becoming evident that the Mean Green will be able to post a better than .500 record this year. \u00a0North Texas must not drop games against the teams currently below it in the current standings if it wants finish above .500. The most likely wins will need to come against: @Rice (1\/30), Southern Miss (2\/4), @Charlotte (2\/13), Florida Atlantic (2\/20), @Southern Miss (2\/27), and Charlotte (3\/5). A split with @Old Dominion on 2\/11 and in Denton on 3\/3 would be nice as well. Unfortunately for North Texas is they are 1-5 on the season when playing away from home. Additionally, the Mean Green have yet to defeat a team with a winning record.<\/p>\n Tonight’s Player of the Game goes to Jeremy Combs<\/a>, who racked up his 7th of the season and 4th in a row double-double. \u00a0On 38 minutes of play he was 8 of 14 (57.1%) from the floor and 5 of 6 (83.3%) from the Free Throw line. He pulled in 12 Rebounds (5 Offensive; 7 Defensive) with 1 Block and 2 Steals. \u00a0Also getting into double digits for the Mean Green was\u00a0Reese, J-Mychal<\/a>\u00a0(23) and\u00a0Johnson, Deckie<\/a>\u00a0(17).<\/p>\n
