UTC men’s basketball Head Coach John Shulman likely got his point across to forward Alphonso Pugh. The junior was left out of the starting lineup in Wednesday’s first-round game of the Dr Pepper Classic at The McKenzie Arena.

Pugh came off the bench and responded with his first double-double of the season, leading the Mocs to a 72-56 victory over North Texas State. He set season highs with 20 points and 12 rebounds.

“We will bury Alphonso on the bench,” Shulman said. “We have guys playing better in practice, and we reward them in the games. But if Alphonso can get 20 and 12 every game off the bench, that is a bonus for us.”

An A.J. Mastin three-pointer at 12:58 of the first half gave UTC the lead for good, 7-5 in a low-scoring early first period. Steve Cherry’s layup capped a 10-0 Mocs run which pushed the lead to 14-5 at 11:24 of the first half.

The Mocs’ largest lead of the first half was 11 points, 28-17 at 4:26.

North Texas, now 6-4, cut the deficit to 36-31, 40 seconds into the second half on a Michael Jones’ jumper. A 9-2 UTC spurt increased the margin to 45-33 at 13:56 of the final period. The Mean Green used a 10-4 blitz of its own, capped by a Jones’ three-pointer, to get to within 62-54 with 4:27 remaining in the game. UTC’s defense, however, held North Texas to 0-for-8 shooting from the floor until the final horn.

Thirteen of Pugh’s 20-point total came in the second half. Cherry added 12 points and seven rebounds for the Mocs, and Mastin hit three three-pointers and finished with 10 points. Starters Katelynas and Chris Brown combined for 11 points.

Leonard Hopkins was 7-for-17 from the field and 2-of-11 from the three-point stripe for a game-high 21 points. He was the only North Texas player in double figures.

UTC, now 6-2 and winners of four straight games, committed 22 turnovers but outrebounded the Mean Green 47-39.

The Mocs take on Birmingham-Southern in the championship game of the Dr Pepper Classic Thursday at around 8:15 p.m. Tennessee-Martin and North Texas play in the consolation game at 6 p.m.
