North Texas Mean Green Braces for Wave of Competition in Fort Worth Showdown

As the North Texas Mean Green prepare to host the Tulane Green Wave at Dickies Arena, fans are eager to see if their team can continue its upward trajectory. Last season's analytics reveal a squad that was disciplined and efficient, despite some areas needing improvement.

The Mean Green played 38 games last season with a remarkable free throw and true shooting percentage of 100 percent. However, they struggled beyond the arc and within it, with both three-point and two-point percentages at zero. This suggests that while they were exceptional from the line, finding consistency in field goals was a challenge.

Defensively, North Texas showed tenacity with an average of 6.47 steals per game and nearly 3 blocks per contest. They maintained control over their fouls with an average of just over 16 per game but will need to keep turnovers low against Tulane's aggressive play style.

On offense, they averaged 64.5 points per game fueled by making an average of over 22 field goals each outing including approximately seven three-pointers and fifteen two-point shots. Their rebounding efforts were solid at just over thirty rebounds per game which helped maintain possession and create second-chance opportunities.

The upcoming match promises to be a tactical battle where discipline on defense will be as crucial as offensive execution for North Texas. The venue may play into their hands; playing at home in Fort Worth could provide the extra push from local supporters needed to tip the scales in what is expected to be a tightly contested affair.

Fans can catch all the action on March 14th at Dickies Arena in Fort Worth or tune into ESPNU at 6:00 PM local time for live coverage of this thrilling encounter between two determined teams looking to start their seasons strong.
