DENTON, Texas – The North Texas women's basketball team is set to open the regular season against the University of Science and Arts of Oklahoma on Tuesday night. Tip-off is slated for 5:30 p.m. (CT) at the Super Pit.
The Mean Green are coming off an exhibition victory from last week against Texas Woman's University, 76-62. UNT is looking to build towards another great season under Jalie Mitchell. The squad features the Pre-season Conference USA Player of the Year, Quincy Noble, and boasts three talented transfers. Not to mention, returning point guard Jazion Jackson who played an efficient game against TWU. The Dallas native put up 16 points and four dimes while only turning it over twice.
UNT's game against USAO will be live on YouTube, KNTU (88.1 FM) with Zac Babb on the call, along with live stats.
QUOTING HEAD COACH MITCHELL
"A new season is here! We have been working hard to prepare, and we're excited for what's to come. The most important thing for us to do is become the best team we can possibly be. Every day, our goal is to improve on both ends of the floor. There is always something we can do better, and Tuesday against USAO will be no different. We would love to get the doubleheader, as well as the season, started off right."
