North Texas was led in scoring by two freshman who accounted for 52 of the 80 points scored by the Mean Green against Rice.<\/p>\n

Player of the Game was a close decision but it needs to go to a player who had an explosive career night for the Mean Green — A.J. Lawson. He scored 31 points, which set a new career record which was set just a little over a week ago against Charlotte<\/a>\u00a0at 23. Lawson was 10 of 15 (66.7%) from the floor, 1 of 3 (33.4%) from behind the arc, and 10 of 12 (83.3%) from the free throw line. He also added 7 rebounds (2 offensive; 5 defensive), an assist, a block, and a steal on 35 minutes of play.<\/p>\n

Also having a career night was Ryan Woolridge<\/a> who was the only other player to reach double digits. He scored 21 points on 6 of 12 (50%) shooting from the floor, 5 of 6 (83.3%) from behind the arc, and 4 of 6 (66.7%) from the free throw line.<\/p>\n

The Mean Green pack their bags to travel to face the Florida twins next week. First up will be Florida Atlantic on Thursday, February 9th at 6:00 PM in Boca Raton, FL. This is an important series for the Mean Green if they want to have a shot at making the Conference USA Tournament.<\/p>\n
