UTSA Convocation Center Witnesses Roadrunners Clash with North Texas Mean Green
The UTSA Roadrunners faced a challenging contest at the UTSA Convocation Center, ending in a 78-54 defeat against the North Texas Mean Green. The Roadrunners now stand with an unaltered record, while the Mean Green improved their performance on the court.
The game saw the University of Texas at San Antonio's team struggle to find their rhythm against a determined University of North Texas side. The Roadrunners managed to score 23 points in the first half and improved slightly in the second with 31 points. However, this was not enough to surpass or even match the offensive output of the Mean Green who tallied 34 points initially and escalated their effort to secure another 44 points by game's end.
The home team's shooting accuracy was below par, with field goal attempts standing at just over thirty percent success rate and three-point attempts faring slightly worse. In contrast, their free throw performance was notably better but still insufficient to bridge the gap created by other aspects of play. The Roadrunners were also outperformed in rebounds, managing only twenty-nine compared to thirty-nine by their opponents.
On defense, there were no blocks recorded for UTSA which may have contributed to North Texas' forty points scored within paint areas – doubling that of UTSA's tally. Additionally, turnovers proved costly for The Roadrunners as they lost possession thirteen times leading directly to four points for North Texas.
Despite these challenges, there were some positive takeaways from individual performances among The Roadrunners' roster; however these efforts did not translate into a cohesive team victory on this occasion.
Looking ahead after this conference game setback, fans can mark their calendars for when The UTSA Roadrunners will be visiting Louisiana Tech Bulldogs at Thomas Assembly Center in Ruston on December 30th. This upcoming encounter is scheduled for broadcast on ESPN+, providing supporters an opportunity to follow along as The Roadrunners aim to bounce back from this loss.
