CONWAY, S.C. – Having entered the game as the nation's third-leading scoring duo at 45 points per game, senior guard Antonio Green and junior guard C.J. Jones continued to shine offensively Monday evening.
It wasn't enough, however, as foul trouble on an already short bench and a below par defensive effort saw the Blue Raiders fall to Coastal Carolina, 93-72.
Jones and Green combined for 39 points with 21 and 18, respectively, but the Middle Tennessee defense gave up 40 points in the paint, 20 fast break points and 15 second chance points to a fast-paced and hot-shooting Chanticleer offense.
