What To Watch For This Week

Josh White has proven himself as one of the country’s top freshman in 2007-08. The Baton Rouge, La. native currently ranks seventh in the nation in freshman scoring, and fourth overall in the Sun Belt Conference with 18.6 points per game.

Josh White, Collin Dennis and Tristan Thompson currently occupy the top three spots on the program’s single season 3-point field goal percentage list. While it is early in the year, White is hitting 58.3 percent, Dennis 47.4 percent and Thompson 45.5. NT is hitting 37.9 percent as a team.

Quincy Williams swatted three shots against Hartford to give him 71 career blocks. The performance moves the senior past Shawnson Johnson (2003-04) and into fourth place in school history.

After splitting a pair of matchups last week, North Texas just missed CollegeInsider.com’s Mid-Major Top 25 once again. The Mean Green remained with 29 votes in the “others receiving vote” section.
