Player of the Game honors are to be handed out to J-Mychal Reese. Reese scored 17 points to lead the team in scoring. He was 5 of 8 (62.5%) from the floor, a perfect 2 of 2 from behind the arc, and 5 of 7 (71.4%) from the free throw line. He also picked up 3 defensive rebounds, 3 assists, and 2 steal on 30 minutes of play.<\/p>\n

Also in double figures was Rickey Brice, Jr.<\/a> (13) coming off the bench and \u00a0Shane Temara (12).<\/p>\n

While watching the game Saturday afternoon, myself and another Mean Green fan were wondering how much North Texas was being out-scored in the second half. Well, I pulled the numbers and it isn’t good. On average in the past 5 seasons, North Texas has been out-scored in the second half by 66.6 (what an odd coincidence!) cumulative points. Right now North Texas is losing by a margin of 5 points per game which is the worst margin in Benford’s coaching career here at North Texas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<\/colgroup>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Noteworthy:<\/strong>\u00a0North Texas must win the remaining 9 games if they want to finish 15-15 on the season. The odds of that happening are nearly at 0. A losing season is all but a done deal, just like Tony Benford of not<\/strong> coaching another season for the Mean Green.<\/p>\n

North Texas welcomes the Rice Owls for the final game of a 3-game homestand on Saturday, February 4th at 2:00 PM at the Super Pit in Denton, TX. North Texas must win this game or they will finish the season with a losing record.<\/p>\n
