SAN JOSE, Costa Rica – Middle Tennessee's 2019-20 men's basketball squad started things off with a bang Sunday evening, charging back from a double-digit deficit to claim the 81-79 victory on a buzzer-beating floater by Jo'Vontae Millner.
C.J. Jones was the star on the offensive end with a sizzling 27-point performance on 10 of 17 shooting, but it was a stellar defensive showing from leading returner Antonio Green that sparked the second half comeback.
Joining Jones in double digits were fellow transfer DeAndre Dishman, sophomore Jayce Johnson, and freshman Tyler Millin.
