MIAMI — The first place Mean Green men's basketball team is taking on fellow top-pod team Florida International in Miami on Thursday at 6 p.m. CT. The game will be broadcasted on Stadium on Facebook and the Mean Green Sports Network (95.3 KHYI) or on the tuneIN app.
UNT (18-10, 12-3 C-USA) is on a two-game winning streak over the Panthers (17-10, 8-6 C-USA) and have held their explosive offense to under 60 points in each of the two wins. They beat FIU 74-56 in Denton on Jan. 9. Four Mean Green players scored in double figures. Javion Hamlet led the team with 16. Hamlet has been on an offensive tear the last two games. He scored a combined 52 points in UNT's last two games. His 52 points scored are tied with UT San Antonio's Jhivvan Jackson for most points scored in C-USA over the past two games. As of Wednesday, Jackson is the nation's second leading scorer.
136 Different Possible Outcomes
Headed into Thursday's game, there are 136 different possible outcomes for North Texas to finish conference play. The easiest and most simple way for UNT to finish in first is for UNT to win out. However, the quickest way is if WKU beats LA Tech on Thursday and UNT beats FIU and then WKU on Sunday.
Best In The C-USA
In league play, redshirt junior Javion Ham- let leads C-USA in assists (77), assists per game (5.1), assist/turnover ratio (2.8), first in free throw percentage (89.0). He's also third in the league scoring (17.8 points per game).
Best Start
North Texas' 12-3 (.800) conference record is its best start to conference play in any conference in program history since moving to the NCAA ranks in 1957. It broke the school record when it started 8-1.
Most Since 2010
North Texas' 12 conference wins are the most they've had since they won 13 during the 2009-10 season in the Sun Belt Conference. In 2009-10, UNT won the SBC Tournament and it was the last time the Mean Green made the NCAA Tournament. From the 2006-07 season through the 2009- 10 season, UNT won at least 10 conference games all four years and averaged 11 conference wins a year. Johnny Jones was the head coach.
Top 10
The Mean Green rank 9th in the nation in field goal percentage (48.8%) and 9th in the nation in 3-point field goal percentage (38.5%). They are just one of four teams in the nation that are ranked in the top 10
in both categories (Gonzaga, BYU, South Dakota).
Closing Games Out
In the 12 conference games won, UNT is holding opponents to 28.0 percent shooting after the last media timeout. UNT held UAB, UTEP, Rice (on 1/20 in Denton), LA Tech and Southern Miss to just one or no field goals following the final media timeout.
