Harold Stewart and center Justin Howerton. Both have come off the bench for the majority of their careers, but have carved out a special place in UNT history while playing for teams that combined to post four straight seasons with at least a .500 record, win 73 games thus far, and earn an NCAA Tournament bid following the 2006-07 season. Only Waymon Lister, who was part of four teams that won 76 games from 1975-79, has enjoyed more wins in a career at UNT. “Both guys have done a tremendous job of helping us build a foundation,” UNT head coach Johnny Jones said. “Both guys have been steady. They have been team players and have accepted their roles.” Stewart is averaging 2.3 points and 2.9 rebounds off the bench, while Howerton has backed up center George Odufuwa. Stewart has started at least four games in each of his seasons at UNT and has left his mark as a defensive stopper. He ranks sixth in Mean Green history with 65 blocked shots in his career. “It means a lot to me to be in the record books for blocks and wins,” Stewart said. “I will take that.” When Stewart and Howerton came to UNT, the Mean Green didn’t have nearly as much to sell recruits on. UNT had enjoyed just one season over the .500 mark in Jones’ first four years with the team. “When I came in, I thought North Texas was on the rise,” Stewart said. That proved to be the case, thanks in part to Stewart and Howerton, who enjoyed the ride. “I definitely had a good time,” Howerton said. “I had a good time playing the game here.” UNT could be in line to add another win to its seniors’ resumes. The Mean Green has won four straight games by double figures to move into fourth place in the over- all Sun Belt standings and will be taking on a short- handed UALR team. The Trojans’ leading scorer, Steven Moore, was sus- pended for today’s game after leaving the bench twice and sitting in the stands for a short time in a loss to Western Kentucky on Thursday.

UNT USES DEPTH TO SWAMP LOUISIANA-MONROE DENTON - It was a grotesque embarrassment of depth on the part of North Texas, but Louisiana-Monroe should have been the mortified one. Seems like that much muscle should reap you some- thing. UNT (16-10, 9-6 Sun Belt West) opened a box of bees on the burly Warhawks (9-17, 5-10) and won its fourth in a row, 95-80 in front of 3,467 fans at the Super Pit on Thursday night. It’s UNT’s third four-game winning streak this season, and it comes at a good time. Performing at a higher level, UNT’s depth threw five bench players at a Mon- roe team with essentially eight players. Two of them, massive forward Rudy Turner (6-foot-8, 275 pounds) and 6-7 teammate Gilbert Lawrence, fouled out with a combined 14 points. Turner had a double-double with 11 points and 12 rebounds, but succumbed late to UNT’s deeper frontcourt. “Our big men can guard wing players,” said guard Adam McCoy, whose 20 points led six UNT players in double figures. “They can move their feet pretty good. It can wreak havoc on other peoples’ big men.” UNT had to pull itself together after shooting 36 per- cent in the first half. The Mean Green still led 35-30 after forcing 13 turnovers and answering enough of its own mistakes with hustle plays. In the second half, UNT’s bench erupted, finishing the game with 38 points -- McCoy and Collin Dennis com- bined for 30 -- and helping UNT shoot 58 percent in the half and score 60 of its 95 points. UNT forward Eric Tramiel scored 12 of his 17 points in the second half. George Odufuwa (10 points, nine rebounds) just missed a double-double. UNT eventually led 83-62 on Josh White’s 3-pointer with 4:51 to play. Despite outscoring UNT 18-12 the rest of the way, ULM was out of it. “With most teams, the starters get rest,” Dennis said. “If you take rest on me, Adam or Kedrick [Hogans], it just benefits us. We’ll put points on you and then when we need rest, we’ll put in the starters.” McCoy, known around the SBC mainly as a spot-up shooter, isn’t just relying on his 3-point shots. As his minutes increase, he is getting to the basket and to loose balls, drawing fouls (5-for-6 from the line) and finding new ways to score. “Adam has hit that confident stretch,” UNT coach Johnny Jones said. “He’s had better practices. We like to play our guys. If you practice hard, I’ll try to put you out there. When they get their minutes, they’ll have their moments.” NORTH TEXAS BASKETBALL (19-11, 11-7 SBC) MEANGREENSPORTS.COM

HOWERTON’S BIG SECOND HALF LIFTS UNT TO WIN DENTON - Other than the occasional big rebound or solid defensive minutes here or there, North Texas cen- ter Justin Howerton has been mostly quiet for three years. Inside the noisy Snake Pit on Friday, Howerton finally made some noise. The Mean Green’s senior big man made his mark and helped UNT (1-0) rout Cameron (0-1) at the throwback Ken Bahnsen Gymnasium, 87-66. Nicknamed the Snake Pit in its day as UNT’s former hoops home, the 1,700-seat venue hosted Friday’s one- night stand while the Mean Green’s Super Pit was oth- erwise occupied. Others scored more, but Howerton (10 points, eight re- bounds) was a spark that got UNT on its way in the second half. He had consecutive putbacks to start the half and finished off Dominique Johnson’s steal with a thundering dunk. From there, UNT shook off the Aggies, who led by three twice in the first half and hung around until Johnson’s 3-pointer made it 42-39. UNT had 17 seconds to score in the first half, and Johnson shook a defender and found Josh White, who scored off the glass at the buzzer for a 44-39 lead. “We came in at the half and knew we weren’t playing well,” Howerton said. “Coach [Johnny Jones] lit a fire under us, and we decided to get things done.” Johnson went coast-to-coast after Howerton’s personal 6-0 run to give UNT a 52-39 lead. Tristan Thompson led UNT with 13 points. White had 12, and Adam McCoy had 11 off the bench. Johnson had nine points and five assists, and George Odufuwa blocked three Cameron shots. Guard Collin Dennis sat out the first half after missing UNT’s exhibition win over Texas A&M-International to address personal issues. After a slow start, he had seven points, three assists and two steals in just 11 min- utes. “I appreciate Coach giving me time to work through some stuff,” said Dennis, a senior from Richland High who expects to shoulder much of a three-guard rota- tion. “I’ve been anxious to get out there. I don’t like these slow, sluggish starts, because it’s going to get us beat by some people.” McCoy’s 3-pointer and baseline jumper on consecutive possessions gave UNT a 74-54 lead. “If we can get 10 and eight from [Howerton] in 20 min- utes every night, that would be tremendous for us,” Jones said. “He’s just continued to get better.” NORTH TEXAS BASKETBALL (19-11, 11-7 SBC) MEANGREENSPORTS.COM

Senior guard DeLuis Ramirez added nine points, and despite being in foul trouble most of the night, junior point guard Ashton Mitchell chipped in eight points and six assists. Mean Green sophomore guard Josh White led all scor- ers with 19 points and forward George Odufuwa turned in a double-double with 11 points and 11 rebounds. “North Texas played good tonight, got the breaks and made the plays down the stretch,” Bearkats head coach Bob Marlin said. “Our defense was consistently bad. We gave up 52 (percent) in the first half and 52 in the second half. We give up 52 percent from the floor and 46 from 3. “We shoot 44 percent, 30 from 3 with one 3-pointer in the second half and 52 from the line, 15-of-29. All we have to do is make the free throws to match their free- throw output and the game is tied.” The Bearkats jumped out to a 44-37 lead in the second half by opening the period with an 10-1 run. Brown, Ramirez and Falkner each hit baskets during that stretch and Allmond hit one of his three 3s in the con- test. North Texas battled back to reclaim the advantage at 52-51 with a layup by Odufuwa and a free throw by Eric Tramiel midway through the period. The game remained close over the next eight minutes and Sam Houston State tied it at 65 with a pair of free throws by freshman Drae Murray at the 4:04 mark. But the Mean Green got to the line 10 times and hit nine free throws to close out the game with White going 4-for-4. “I thought our guys were able to play hard for 40 min- utes tonight,” North Texas head coach Johnny Jones said. “This game could have gone either way.
