Raiders roll to big win at UTEP
EL PASO, Texas – Middle Tennessee's pair of Mississippi products shined bright in El Paso Wednesday night as the Blue Raiders cruised to a 69-53 win at UTEP behind a combined 44 points from Antonio Green and James Hawthorne.
Green poured in 26 thanks to five 3-pointers to collect his 16th 20-point game of the season while Hawthorne came up just shy of his career high with 18 points on 7-of-11 shooting and hit 3-of-4 trifectas on the night while pulling down eight rebounds.
Reggie Scurry added 15 points of his own to go along with seven rebounds while freshman Jayce Johnson was a monster on the glass with a career-high 13 boards.
