MURFREESBORO, Tenn. — On a team with four players averaging in double figures scoring, all of whom, from Jestin Porter to Camryn Weston to Essam Mostafa to Jlynn Counter, scored at least 11 points in Middle Tennessee men's basketball's 71-57 win over Western Kentucky on Saturday, praise is easily spread around.
But there's one player that Head Coach Nick McDevitt wants to make sure he highlights, night after night, as someone helping the Blue Raiders start CUSA play 4-1.
"He's a big part of what we're doing right now, why we're winning," McDevitt said of reserve guard Tre Green, who scored six points against the Hilltoppers with a pair of threes, but also nearly led MTSU in plus/minus (+16, just one behind Justin Bufford) in just 17 minutes off the bench.
