DENTON, Texas – A hot-shooting North Texas team was too much for Middle Tennessee on Saturday as the Mean Green emerged victorious 70-63 at the Super Pit. Josh Jefferson led the Blue Raiders with 19 points as North Texas shot 58.8 percent (10-17) from behind the 3-point line.
"You've got to be disappointed [with the loss], and we are," head coach Nick McDevitt said. "But coming off a 12-day layoff to make this road trip… I'm just proud of our effort but disappointed in the end result."
The foul bug bit the Blue Raiders once again in the middle of the second half.
