MBB North Texas in Another Close Game; Can’t Complete the Late Comeback Against Old Dominion

North Texas fell in another close game in the closing seconds as late costly turnovers stopped the comeback bid against the then leading Old Dominion Monarchs. Free throw shooting was also problematic where the Mean Green shot a sub-par 58.6%, which is below the season average of 65.7%. Scores by Period 1st Half 2nd Half Total Old Dominion 38 25 63 North Texas 30 30 60 Roosevelt Smart again lead North Texas with 14 points where he was three of 12 (25%) from the floor where all three of his made shots were 3-pointers where he was three of 10 (30%).

WBB Fourth Quarter Comeback Not Enough Against Tough Rice Squad

In a series that has seen more than its fair share of closely contested games, this Friday night affair proved to be no exception. North Texas got off to a slow start, tied up the game by the end of the second quarter, got a few steps behind the Owls in the third and trailed by as much as 12 in the fourth quarter. North Texas battled back and took the lead late into the fourth quarter on some key defensive plays that lead to some big points. Poorly timed fouls late into the fourth quarter are what ultimately did North Texas in as Rice made 7 free throws on 10 attempts in the fourth quarter, more than they shot for

MBB Slow Start and Sloppy Play Too Much for Mean Green in CUSA Home Opener

In the post-game interview, Coach McCasland said that the more aggressive team (Charlotte) won and I would agree with him. North Texas looked sloppy throughout much of the game and committed some silly turnovers that resulted in lost scoring opportunities. North Texas must clean up these errors if it wants to better compete in Conference USA now that we've entered into the second half of the season. McCasland has this team headed in the right direction but there are still some blemishes that need to be worked on. This game was a bit of a disappointment in that the game appeared to be one of the more better attended games so far this season. The floor seats were the most full

WBB North Texas Comes Up Short in CUSA Opener at LaTech

North Texas started off Conference USA play with a slow start against the LaTech Bulldogs and fell short in a comeback attempt late in the game. Terriell Bradley and Micayla Buckner were the only players to get into double figures. North Texas seemed to make a lot of uncharacteristic turnovers while at the same time not forcing the other team to do the same. Lauren Holmes was also not involved in scoring shooting just 7.1% (1 for 14) from the floor. North Texas is a young team with three starters being freshman. The Mean Green will get better but when your second team leading scorer has a touch night, other members of the team need to step up to fill the

MBB Mean Green Get Road Sweep of the UT Twins in Thrilling UTSA Win in San Antonio

MBB North Texas Opens Conference USA Play With Road Win at UTEP

North Texas started its 2017-18 Conference USA campaign with a road win at the Don Haskins Center, the first since December 29, 1952. The team didn't play its best but still managed to power through awful free throw shooting (10-18 55.6%) to muscle out a road win in front of a hostile Miner crowd in El Paso.

WBB: North Texas Off to Strong Start for 2017-18 Season

The Mean Green have four games remaining in their out of conference slate before starting off conference play at LaTech to kick off 2018. Even if the Mean Green were to finish 2-2, it would still be one of the best starts for the program in about a decade.
