North Texas Mean Green to Battle SMU Mustangs at UNT Coliseum

As the North Texas Mean Green prepare to host the SMU Mustangs at the UNT Coliseum, fans can expect an exciting clash on the basketball court. The Mean Green have been showing a strong performance trend in their recent games, which should carry over into this upcoming match.

In their last home game against the Mavericks, North Texas displayed a dominant offense with a 78-point finish and an impressive field goal percentage of 53. Their three-point shooting was particularly noteworthy at 44 percent, contributing significantly to their victory margin. The team also demonstrated solid defense with nine steals and three blocks while maintaining a positive assist-to-turnover ratio of 1.3.

However, it's worth noting that in an away game against Mississippi State Bulldogs, North Texas struggled with turnovers (16) and had difficulty converting from beyond the arc with only a 21 percent success rate for three-pointers. Despite these challenges, they managed to maintain a high free-throw percentage of 87.

The Mean Green's resilience was tested in another neutral-site game against Fordham Rams where both teams ended up scoring closely – North Texas with 59 points and Fordham with 60. Even though they matched Fordham in total rebounds (40) and blocks (11), turnovers and shooting percentages were areas that needed improvement.

Looking ahead to their confrontation with SMU Mustangs at UNT Coliseum – known for its vibrant atmosphere which could give them home-court advantage – fans should anticipate an energetic performance from North Texas as they aim to capitalize on their offensive strengths while tightening up defensively.

The upcoming game is scheduled for January 26th at UNT Coliseum in Denton, TX. Fans eager not to miss any action can tune into ESPN2 for live coverage of what promises to be an engaging contest between these two teams.
