Can North Texas Outmaneuver Florida Atlantic at UNT Coliseum?

As the North Texas Mean Green prepare to host the Florida Atlantic Owls at the UNT Coliseum, fans are eager to see if their team can continue its recent performance trends. The Mean Green have shown a mixed bag of results in their past games, with a narrow loss against the Roadrunners (62-64) and a defeat away against the Blazers (62-71), but they bounced back with an impressive victory over the Tigers (76-66).

Analyzing these past performances, it's clear that North Texas has strengths to capitalize on. Their three-point shooting was exceptional against Memphis, hitting an astounding 57 percent from beyond the arc. This long-range prowess could be crucial in stretching Florida Atlantic's defense. However, consistency is key; they struggled with only 24 percent from three-point land against UTSA.

The Mean Green have also demonstrated an ability to score off turnovers, notching 22 points in this category during their win over Memphis. Their assist-to-turnover ratio has been improving as well, peaking at 1.23 in that game which indicates better ball control and decision-making.

Defensively, there is room for improvement after allowing more than 70 points in one of their recent outings. They will need to tighten up and return to form like when they held Memphis to just 66 points.

Playing at home should give North Texas an edge; they've shown they can feed off the energy of UNT Coliseum's crowd. The venue has been a fortress for them before and could play a significant role once again as they aim for another conference win.

Fans should expect an intense matchup as both teams vie for dominance on March 6th at 7:00 PM local time. For those unable to attend in person, tuning into ESPN+ via internet broadcast will ensure you don't miss any action from this pivotal clash.
