Leonard Hopkins hit an 18-foot jump shot from the baseline with 0.3 seconds left to lift the Mean Green (13-11, 5-7 Sun Belt) over Denver, 68-66, in front of 1,879 at the Super Pit. Denver (15-9, 9-3) had a chance to tie and threw the ball the length of the court and tipped it toward the basket. But the ball hit off the rim.

Denver guard Erik Benzel made a 3-pointer with 33 seconds left to make it 66-66. UNT answered when Isaac Hines drove the lane with less than 10 seconds left and passed to Hopkins, who hit the winner. Hopkins led UNT with 18 points. Ron Harris had 16.
