DENTON, Texas – South Alabama nearly overcame a season high for turnovers and a season-low shooting performance, but a last-second shot for the win fell short in a 70-68 loss at North Texas Thursday night. The defeat snapped a 13-game winning streak for the Jaguars, one shy of the school record and the third-longest in the nation at the time. Demetric Bennett scored a game-high 22 points to lead South Alabama (17-4, 9-1), but his three-point attempt from 24-feet hit the front of the rim as the horn sounded. Brandon Davis posted a double-double of 16 points and 11 rebounds, while Daon Merritt added 16 points and four assists. The Jaguars shot 38.3 percent overall and had 19 turnover, but stayed in the game by nailing 26 of 30 free throws. Connin Dennis led North Texas (13-7, 4-5) with 21 points, while Josh White added 18. Dennis made four-of-nine three-point attempts and hit seven of eight free throws to help the Mean Green snap a three-game losing streak. Bennett had pulled the Jaguars within one, 68-68 on a three-pointer with 55 seconds remaining and had the chance at the win when Quincy Williams made only one of two free throws with 31 seconds left. North Texas used nine straight points to open a 47-41 lead with 14:21 remaining , but South scored six in a row to close to within one with 13:38 left. The teams battled through five ties and six lead changes in the final 10 minutes until Collin's two free throws put UNT up 64-63 at the 3:16 mark. White followed with a jumper with 2:44 left, but Bennett answered with two free throws to make the score 66-65 with 2:35 left. Collin seemed to put the game away with 1:37 left with a three-pointer, but Bennett answered with his in the final minute. Ironically, a strong shooting first-half helped the Jaguars build a 36-30 lead, despite being within two turnovers of their per-game average (12 vs. 13.9). The Jags hist 52.4 percent from the field and held a 21-11 rebounding margin, while limiting UNT to 42.3 percent shooting. After falling behind 7-4, USA engineered a 23-10 run that included 11 straight points to build a double-digit lead, 27-17, with 5:10 remaining in the period. North Texas closed back to within four twice, but Bennett and Tilford each knocked down a pair of free throws to push the lead back to eight, 36-28. A layup in the closing second left the margin at six when the teams headed to intermission. Bennett finished with 12 in the period, while Merritt tallied 10. "In other games this season, we came up with big stops late in the game," Head Coach Ronnie Arrow said. "Their outside guys came out in the second half and hit some shots. The biggest thing was the turnovers and us not running our offense, but they had a lot to do with those." South Alabama looks to rebound on Saturday with another road game, this at defending Sun Belt Conference West Division champion Louisiana-Monroe. The 3 p.m. game will be televised live on ESPN2.

That is a sweet player.

Fantastic win. Go Mean Green. Let keep the ball rolling. no pun intended.

Wooden out , ouch, that's going to hurt.

30 rebounds by USA? oh my!

Why Couldn't FSN pick up this game, they are showing women's bball, Texas State vs Stephen F. Austin?

it would be great to get this win, to give the guys some confidence... 3 yesssss.

I think a lot of the stuff you read, is in his blogs. Blogs are usually more editorial than anything, they give the reporter more of an opinion. I for one don't want sunshine blown up our a$$, just because we are unt fans. Give us the sports truth, whether we like it or not.

It looks pretty grim. I hope 0-6 stretch can be avoided, although the afore mentioned teams are damn good.

Can this season be salvaged? I know it's about winning the sbc tourney but, at some point don't you want to win both regular season and the tourney... This is so dissapointing. I thought with the 8 days off the team would have time to re group. I guess I was wrong.

I saw some mean green chair backs at Bed bath and beyond. Cue line from old school...

:blowup: :blowup:

Well, I will think about it. It has always been a dream of mine to be a donor to my university, which I love and want to see succeed. I wish I could be one of those "big gun" donors that can change the face of the program unfortunately right now I can only pull out the cap gun. Maybe Someday.

If there's no rivalry, like they say there isn't, why do they keep bringing us up in their message boards. I just want us to take care of our business and quite worrying about what the SMUg's are doing. I know they have potential to steal recruits and all, but lets just focus on what we have to do. I am still uncertain that we have what it takes to turn the program around, but I know we are on the right track, especially if Deloach returns. Go Mean Green!!!

I guess bo really wanted to impress those scouts.

THIS ANGERS ME!!!!!!!!

well there you go bo welcome to the pit indeed... he now has 15. So congrats to him I guess. I was worried about this game.. I hope we can pull it off. Seems like we are a little off tonight... our guys atill sick?

I keep getting a service not available on the link.

Well after seeing some of your stories about mgc, I am gong to have to wait to join, I think... Now if we could get a dedicated stadium fund I might do something there.

Surely we have a tall ladder and some paint, under the bowels of the pit!

Well I have wanted to be a season ticket holder but a lot of my friends, including my wife, are students so I am torn and I don't know if I can fit more that two tickets into my budget.

It shows up when you have it on your yahoo team tracker. But if you click furter they haven't changed it.
