The Mean Green (11-16 6-8) never trailed against the Florida Atlantic Owl in a Saturday night “Black Out”. \u00a0The starters did a good job however bench production continues to be a concern. \u00a0Hot shooting, especially in the second half, helped propel North Texas to victory. \u00a0A foul late in the game, which also led to Tony Benford earning a Technical Foul, could have been a game changer however the Owls never could capitalize on the potential momentum shift.<\/p>\n
The Player of the Game goes to Deckie Johnson<\/a>, who again shot extremely well, accounting for two of the team’s\u00a0three 3-pointers. Overall, Deckie was 5 of 10 (50%) from the floor, 2 of 3 (66.6%) from behind the arc, and 7 of 11 (63.6%) from the Free Throw line. He also had 3 total rebounds (1 Offensive; 2 Defensive), 1 Assist, and 1 Steal on 37 minutes of play.<\/p>\n Also in double figures was Jeremy Combs<\/a> (17) and J-Mychal Reese<\/a> (14).<\/p>\n Game Stats are available here<\/a>.<\/p>\n The Mean Green travel to Ruston, LA to take on the Louisiana Tech Bulldogs on Thursday, February 25th at 8:00 PM. The game is also available via the American Sports Network<\/a>.<\/p>\n Again North Texas has a two game win streak but will they be able to take that momentum and earn a third consecutive win?\u00a0 The Mean Green has not been able to manage more than two consecutive wins all season. \u00a0Also, North Texas is a paltry 1-10 on the road with the sole win<\/a> coming against the UTSA Road Runners. \u00a0North Texas did defeat Louisiana Tech on Feb. 6th<\/a> in the SuperPit, so it is possible the Bulldogs will have a little revenge in mind for the Mean Green.<\/p>\n Views: 269The Mean Green (11-16 6-8) never trailed against the Florida Atlantic Owl in a Saturday night “Black Out”. \u00a0The starters did a good job however bench production continues to be a concern. \u00a0Hot shooting, especially in the second half, helped propel North Texas to victory. \u00a0A foul late in the game, which also led…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[6,12],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-292","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-basketball","category-stats"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p9ebqr-4I","jetpack-related-posts":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ntsportsstats.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/292","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ntsportsstats.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ntsportsstats.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ntsportsstats.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ntsportsstats.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=292"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.ntsportsstats.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/292\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ntsportsstats.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=292"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ntsportsstats.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=292"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ntsportsstats.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=292"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}A brief look into the next game against the Bulldogs<\/h4>\n
