Mean Green Fall In Baha Mar Nassau Championship Title Game


Coach Andy Mac

Recommended Posts

NASSAU, BAHAMAS — The North Texas men’s basketball team fell to UNC Wilmington Sunday night in the 2022 Baha Mar Nassau Championship title game, 55-51, at the Baha Mar Nassau Convention Center.

In a game where points were at a premium for both teams, UNT (5-2) had a season-high 17 turnovers that the reigning CBI champion Seahawks (5-3) turned into 20 points. 

Mean Green senior Tylor Perry who led the eight-team tournament in scoring with 64 total points was named to the all-tournament team. He finished with a team-high 17 on Sunday.

“Our team was looking forward to playing in the championship game,” said head coach Grant McCasland. “But credit UNCW. They were physical and did some really tough things. We love the mantra ‘toughest team wins’ and I definitely thought they were the toughest team tonight.”

Senior Kai Huntsberry finished with 53 total points over the three games in three days, which was the second most in the tournament. He had 15 points on Sunday in the tournament title game.

North Texas will return home on Saturday to host Omaha at 5 p.m. CT. The game will be streamed on ESPN+ and the Mean Green Sprots Network, presented by Learfield on the Varsity Network app.

Overall, I thought that the tournament should bring great benefits to NT in terms of providing a test against very similar teams in a destination location. 

NT's performance demonstrated they have a long way to go before being as good as last year.  My view created by  watching on TV and wishing I was in the Bahamas. 

The Good:

Perry was unstoppable in the first half of the first game and was less effective for the rest of the tournament as defenses concentrated on stopping him. 

Huntsberry is the real deal averaging 17.7 points and over 3 rebounds for the three games. 

The not so good or bad:

Eady's role obviously is not at this point scoring, but played good defense and rebounded well: averaged 4 pts and 5 rebounds

Ousmane had a very bad couple of games were he got open but just could not score.    He did get 9 rebounds in the final.  

Martinez was NT's leading rebounder at a modest 5.7 a game, but scored only 1 point in the tournament. 

Jones' play in the finals was very encouraging.  His return to form is going to greatly help on both sides of the ball. 

The Bad:

Scott's play was disappointing in that he didn't show the spark, he had coming off the bench last year.  He averaged 4 points and 4 rebounds a contest. 

Stone, who has looked good providing a lot of energy off the bench only had 5 points and 2 rebounds in the tournament. 

Sissoko did not play much despite Ousmane having a couple of sub-par games.

I wouldn't expect him to contribute much more than energy/hustle.
