Quest For a Winning Record<\/h4>\n

North Texas currently sits at 10-5 in the 2017-18 season. There are 28 games in the regular season this year. The Mean Green need just four more wins to hit the .500 mark, a level North Texas hasn’t hit since 2005-06 under\u00a0Tina Slinker<\/a> where the Mean Green finished 19-9 9-6. Conference USA features some tough teams like Rice (13-2 3-0), Western Kentucky (12-4 3-0), UAB (13-2 2-0), LaTech (11-5 2-1), and UTEP (11-5 2-1). North Texas has already faced off against LaTech<\/a> at Ruston (L, 61-53<\/a>) and Rice<\/a>\u00a0at the SuperPit (L, 50-49<\/a>). North Texas will face off against Rice to conclude the regular season on March 3rd.<\/p>\n
