| Neighbour calls for the ball in the post against Mitchell. |
UALR’s Will Neighbour got the better of North Texas’ Tony Mitchell on Thursday
at the Jack Stephens Center in Little Rock.
With Neighbour on the court, UALR outscored North Texas 54-38. With
Mitchell on the court, UALR outscored North Texas 58-45. That makes Neighbour a
+16 and Mitchell a -13 last night.
Looking deeper into Mitchell’s totals it appears North Texas was about
equal with Mitchell in the game or on the bench. He played 37 minutes and was
-13. The three minutes he sat out North Texas was -1. That means the Mean Green
were -0.35 PM per minute with Mitchell in and -0.33 PM per minute with Mitchell
out.

Joining Neighbour with top honors on the UALR side was junior Leroy
Isler. UALR outscored North Texas 50-34 with Isler in the game.
The rest of the top five (plus ties) included:
- Kemy Osse +11 (24-13)
- James White +11 (44-33)
- Taggart Lockhart +7 (29-22)
- Ben Dillard +7 (38-31)
With freshman John Gillon out of the lineup due to injury, UALR is
splitting point guard minutes between Hagins and Osse. UALR was +5 with Hagins
running the point but an incredible +9 during Osse’s point guard minutes.
Due to a spreadsheet error, we had to make some adjustments to the
season plus/minus total. Sorry for that. But it’s all fixed now and shouldn’t be
an issue the rest of the season.
Hagins continues to hold a lead at +70 PM for the season, +4.1 PM per
game played and +0.19 PM per minute played. He’s also a team best +41 in Sun
Belt games and +20 in the past five games.
Neighbour remains the closest challenger at +68 for the season. But he’s
played a lot more minutes, keeping him further behind in other categories.
