DENTON — The North Texas men's basketball team will host Houston Baptist on Dec. 17 at the Super Pit.Â
The Mean Green are the reigning Conference USA champions and return three starters from last season's title-winning team including 2020 C-USA Player of the Year Javion Hamlet. Hamlet was named to the C-USA Preseason Team earlier this month.
UNT posted a program-best 14-4 league record a year ago and were the top seed in the C-USA Championship until the season was canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.Â
This will be the first matchup between North Texas and HBU since Feb. 15, 2010, when the Mean Green beat Houston Baptist 101-87 at HBU. UNT is 6-1 all-time versus the Huskies. Two of its six all-time wins have come at the Super Pit.Â
In the 101-87 victory over HBU in 2010 the Mean Green had 24 assists. It's the most assists North Texas has had in a game since 1996.Â
A start time for Dec. 17 and all games will be announced at a later date. Stay tuned for more information on the men's basketball's 2020-21 schedule as games are announced. Below is a list of games that have been announced.Â
