🎉 TRIVIA ANSWER

Answer: Sidney Love!

UNT took a 48-44 lead midway through the fourth, and UTSA sparked a 6-0 run with Jenkins, Love and Udo all scoring en route to a 50-48 advantage. After exchanging blows, the Roadrunners clung to a 53-52 edge with 16 seconds on the clock and UNT inbounding. A missed shot and a Jenkins rebound followed, ahead of a free throw that issued a 54-52 score line. The Mean Green had the ball with four seconds remaining but could not tickle the twine as a Love block cemented the UTSA victory.

🤙🏼 It’s FRIDAY, Roadrunners!
