Mean Green's Offensive Mastery


The North Texas Mean Green exhibited an impressive offensive performance against the Owls. The team shot 53 percent from the field and an outstanding 89 percent from the free-throw line. Their efficiency was not just limited to shooting; they also recorded 16 assists, showcasing their ability to distribute and maximize scoring opportunities effectively.


Brenen Lorient stood out with a stellar performance, contributing 16 points while maintaining perfect shooting accuracy across all attempts including three-pointers and free throws. His contribution was pivotal to setting up the victory for his team. Atin Wright also played a crucial role by adding 13 points and facilitating ball movement with two assists.


Defensive Dominance Leads to Victory

The defensive strategy employed by North Texas limited Florida Atlantic's scoring opportunities significantly. Despite Florida Atlantic's efforts to close down gaps through fast break points totaling 14 and attempting to leverage second-chance points which amounted to eight, they could not overcome North Texas' defensive pressure.
