CUSA MBB & WBB Action and Standings
The Mean Green Men and Women had the night off but there was still plenty of action in Conference USA, including two multiple overtime sessions between UTEP and FIU for both the Men's and the Women's squads. To add to the fact that both squads for both schools took it to multiple overtime sessions, both games ended with the same score -- 88-87. Here is just one story about the odd happenstance between both the FIU/UTEP squads.

MBB North Texas Men’s Basketball Mid-Season Review
We're just past the halfway mark of the 2016-2017 season for the Mean Green Men's Basketball team. North Texas faces some headwinds coming into the back half of their schedule and are at risk of missing the postseason altogether. The top half of the conference is pretty solid so there is no hiding behind weak opponents to pad stats and claim easy wins. Perhaps the biggest problem facing the Mean Green is point production, as shown by their ranking in Scoring Offense (#12), Field Goal Percentage (#11), and 3-Point Field Goal Percentage (#14). Also, whenever a team gets hot shooting North Texas has generally not fared well despite a decent ranking in Scoring Defense (#4), Field Goal Defense (#3), and 3-Point Field
