FRISCO, Texas – A Blue Raider squad with nothing to lose went down fighting Wednesday evening at the Ford Center at The Star, dropping a 76-56 contest that was much closer than the final score would indicate for a majority of the night.
North Texas (14-9, 9-5) – who returned almost its entire roster from a squad that won the Conference USA regular season title a year ago – had its hands full with Middle Tennessee (5-18, 3-13) for 30 minutes before the tide turned in favor of the Mean Green in a big way.
