In a compelling display of accuracy and teamwork, the North Texas Mean Green outpaced the Tulane Green Wave with a final score of 81-71. The Mean Green's season record now stands at an impressive 2-0, while the Green Wave falls to a challenging 1-1.

The game, which took place at Dickies Arena in Fort Worth, saw the Mean Green dominate in several statistical categories. Notably, their three-point shooting was exceptional; they hit 12 out of 25 attempts for an impressive 48 percent success rate from beyond the arc. This sharpshooting performance was pivotal in securing their lead throughout the game.

The Mean Green also excelled in ball distribution and defense. They tallied up a total of 18 assists and showcased their defensive prowess by stealing the ball nine times from their opponents.
