Last meeting
STILLWATER, Okla. (Dec. 1, 2013) - Early foul trouble and poor rebounding doomed the North Texas women's basketball team against an undefeated, 19th-ranked Oklahoma State team on the road as the Mean Green fell, 95-47.
The loss dropped North Texas to 3-4 on the year and 0-2 on the road. It was also NT's second loss to a ranked opponent, the first coming at home against No. 13 Texas A&M.
The Mean Green led by four early in the game until the two starting NT posts, sophomores Alexis Hyder and Acheil Tac, both left the contest with two fouls a piece. Oklahoma State took advantage on the offensive glass, totaling 17 offensive boards to NT's five in the first half.
Despite the disadvantage on the boards, the Mean Green climbed to within four, 26-22, before the Cowpokes closed out the first half on a 20-4 run.
Freshman guard Candice Adams, matched up against one of the top field generals in college basketball in senior Tiffany Bias, put together the best performance of her career. She tied a career high with nine points and tacked on two assists with a steal and zero turnovers while running the point.
Three of Four
The 3-1 start compiled by the Mean Green is the best record since the 2017-18 season when UNT began 6-1. Head Coach Jalie Mitchell has amassed a record of 37-31 in non-conference play during her tenure.
New Versus Old
The Mean Green welcomed back a solid core of contributors from last season, including leading scorers Destinee McDowell and N'Yah Boyd. Transfers Quincy Noble, Destiny Brooks, Rochelle Lee and Emma Villas-Gomis are eligible for competition for the Mean Green in 2020-21 along with freshmen Tommisha Lampkin and Maddie Cleary. To date, the group of returners is posting 47.2 of the 78.3 points scored per contest, while the newbies contribute 35.5.
A Noble Start
Quincy Noble has already made a name for herself four games into her career with the Mean Green. The redshirt sophomore put up a career-high 30 points against Louisiana Dec. 4 and knocked down five 3-pointers, the fifth-highest total ever recorded by a North Texas player. Against UTA Dec. 19, she recorded game-highs of 22 points and nine rebounds and made the most of her North Texas debut with a team-high 17 points in a season-opening win over Tarleton Nov. 25. Noble leads the league in 3s per game at 3.5 and ranks second in accuracy at over 48-percent.
Deep Improvement
The Mean Green struggled from the 3-point line last season by connecting on just 27.8 percent of their attempts, ranking them 300 of the 348 teams in NCAA Division I. So far in 2020-21, the team is hitting at a 40.3-percent clip to sit 20th in the nation and second in Conference USA.
Formidable Freshman
In her collegiate debut, freshman Tommisha Lampkin posted 12 points and seven rebounds in just 12 minutes of play in a season-opening win against Tarleton Nov. 25. The forward knocked down five of her six shots and both free throws. Against Texas Nov. 29, Lampkin held her own underneath with two field goals and four rebounds. Throughout the four games this season, she has been consistent in her 10 minutes of playing time by compiling averages of 5.8 points and 4.8 rebounds.
