North Texas 84, Cal State Fullerton 82--Cal State Fullerton guard Mark Murphy called it “a heartbreaker.”
For the Titans, it seemed a fitting description for a Big West Conference loss at Denton, Texas, that snapped a three-game winning streak.
Guard Kyle Crawford tossed in a three-point shot with three-tenths of a second left that gave North Texas (6-11, 4-2) the victory. It came after Kenroy Jarrett and Murphy each made three-pointers in the final 26 seconds to give Fullerton a one-point lead.
The Titans (8-9, 3-3) shot 64.5% in the first half--making their first 10 shots from the field--and led by as much as 17 points before North Texas stormed back in the second half. Ike Harmon scored 32 points, one below his career high.
