Noble scores 16 and Lampkin posts a double-double in the win
DENTON, Texas (Nov. 27, 2022) – Coming off back-to-back close losses, North Texas bounced back in a big way as they scored eight of the final 11 points of the game to take down Montana St. 66-57 in the final day of the UNT Fall Feast Sunday inside the Super Pit.
Senior Quincy Noble scored in double figures for the fourth straight game and finished with a game-high 16 points to earn All-Tournament team as the Mean Green improved their record to 2-3 on the season.
UNT also got a strong performance from Tommisha Lampkin who had 10 points and 11 boards for her second double-double of the season. Lampkin also added a pair of blocks and went a perfect 4 for 4 from the free throw line.
The Mean Green jumped ahead with a strong defensive effort in the first quarter, outscoring the Bobcats 14-5 in the opening period to take an early lead.
The second quarter saw the lead swell to as many as 14 after Maddie Cleary knocked down a 3-pointer to make the score 28-14 with 2:52 left in the half. UNT would head into the locker room with a 32-19 edge.
A pair of newcomers fueled UNT to start the second half as junior transfer Jasmyne Boles and freshman Breanna Davis combined to score eight of the first 10 points of the third quarter to make the score 42-27.
Montana St. climbed back into the game with an 11-0 run to close the third and open the fourth period cut the deficit down to three with 7:36 left in the contest.
Leading 58-54, UNT got an and-one by Noble to push the lead back to seven and swelled it back up to 11 after three free throws by Boles and a layup from Davis to bring the lead to 66-55 with just over two minutes remaining.
The Mean Green held on down the stretch with stifling defense to take home the nine-point win. To close the game, North Texas forced the Bobcats to 1 for their final 8 from the floor.
Along with Lampkin and Noble, Boles also finished in double figures with 11 points while also adding four rebounds in the win.
As a team, UNT outrebounded MSU 40-28 and pulled down 17 offensive rebounds. They also forced the Bobcats, who came into the contest ranked inside the top-75 in the country in 3-point FG percentage, to shoot just 14.3 percent from downtown.
Quoting Coach Mitchell
"I think you saw a different team than you saw on Friday, especially when it comes to closing out the game. I'm really proud of us learning from the past couple of games and making those adjustments. We're coaching each other up in the huddle and on the court. We were a tougher team tonight than what you saw on Friday. Getting loose balls, pulling down rebounds and giving ourselves extra offensive possessions. We just need consistency now moving forward to play the way we played tonight every game."
