Mustangs Set to Host North Texas Mean Green at Moody Coliseum in Dallas Showdown

As the Southern Methodist University Mustangs gear up to face the North Texas Mean Green at Moody Coliseum, fans are eager for what promises to be a thrilling encounter. The Mustangs have been on a roll, and their recent performances suggest that they will continue their dominant streak.


North Texas Mean Green VS SMU Mustangs

In their last game on December 21 against the Air Force Falcons, SMU displayed an offensive masterclass with a resounding 75-44 victory. Their shooting was particularly impressive; they boasted a field goal percentage of 61 and were lethal from beyond the arc with a three-point percentage of 50. With such high efficiency, it's clear that SMU has found a rhythm that could spell trouble for UNT.


The Mustangs' defense also deserves praise as they held the Falcons to just 25 percent shooting from the field and forced 14 turnovers. This defensive prowess is something that UNT must be wary of, especially considering SMU's ability to convert defense into offense quickly.


Looking back at another recent game on December 19 against Sam Houston Bearkats, SMU emerged victorious with a score of 69-64 despite committing more turnovers than usual. They managed to outrebound their opponents by a significant margin (53 rebounds for SMU versus Sam Houston's 40), which played an essential role in securing the win.


Against Louisiana Tech Lady Techsters on December 15, SMU showcased both resilience and consistency by maintaining control throughout the game and finishing strong with a final score of 69-53. Their balanced attack saw them excel both inside the paint and from long range while keeping turnovers low.


The upcoming match-up presents an opportunity for SMU to capitalize on its home-court advantage at Moody Coliseum where fan support has been nothing short of phenomenal. The Mustangs' robust offense combined with relentless defense makes them favorites going into this game against UNT.


However, it would be unwise to underestimate North Texas Mean Green who will undoubtedly come prepared looking for an upset. It is crucial for SMU not only to maintain their offensive fluidity but also tighten up any loose ends defensively if they wish to continue their winning ways.


Fans should mark their calendars for January 17 when these two teams clash at Moody Coliseum in Dallas at 7:00 PM local time (CT). For those unable to attend in person, details regarding broadcast networks or streaming services are yet forthcoming but stay tuned as this information should become available closer to game day.
