MURFREESBORO, Tenn. — The two players that joined Head Coach Nick McDevitt at the post-game press conference of Middle Tennessee men's basketball's 84-79 win over Kennesaw State made sense.
You had Jlynn Counter, who hit 1,000 career points with a fastbreak layup late in the first half, celebrating the milestone, while also dishing out six assists to his teammates. And you had Essam Mostafa, who went to work on the pick and roll to score 22 points and just miss a double-double with nine rebounds, shooting 10-for-15 from the field.
