North Texas Mean Green Host Tulane Green Wave at UNT Coliseum in Men's Basketball Showdown

As the North Texas Mean Green prepare to host the Tulane Green Wave at the UNT Coliseum, fans are eager to see if their team can continue its recent strong performance on home turf. The Mean Green have shown a solid trend of success in their past games, which should give them confidence heading into this matchup.

In their last game against the Mavericks, North Texas displayed an impressive offensive performance with a 78-point finish and a notable field goal percentage of 53. Their three-point shooting was particularly effective, hitting 44 percent from beyond the arc. Defensively, they managed to secure nine steals and three blocks while forcing ten turnovers. This level of defensive pressure could be crucial against Tulane.

However, it's not all smooth sailing for North Texas; they did experience a setback in an away game against Mississippi State Bulldogs where they scored only 54 points and had trouble maintaining possession with sixteen turnovers. Despite this loss, they showed resilience by making nearly 87 percent of their free throws.

The upcoming game will be played at UNT Coliseum – a venue that has been favorable for North Texas as seen in their close contest with Fordham Rams where both teams scored around sixty points but ultimately fell short by one point. The Mean Green matched up well on rebounds and blocks but will need to improve their assist-to-turnover ratio which stood at just under 0.7.

Fans can expect North Texas to leverage its home-court advantage and aim for high efficiency from both inside and outside the paint while maintaining strong defensive pressure throughout the game.

The action unfolds on January 6th at 19:00 local time at UNT Coliseum in Denton, TX. Supporters who cannot make it to the venue can catch live coverage on ESPNU (channel 208).
