DENTON, Texas – North Texas women's basketball game against LA Tech is slated for Saturday afternoon inside the Super Pit at 3:30 p.m. (CT). The contest will air on ESPN+ and Zac Babb will have the call on KNTU 88.1 FM.
North Texas picked up a much-needed win against Southern Miss on Thursday night. The Mean Green picked up its second Conference USA victory, 72-66. Preseason C-USA Player of the Year Quincy Noble looked like what she was projected to in the preseason coaches' poll. The McKinney native tied a career-high with 30 points on 24 field goal attempts. Chloe Callahan gave UNT quite the spark off the bench. Callahan played 12 minutes, scoring five points, registering three assists, and two rebounds.
LA Tech comes to Denton with the same amount of conference wins as the Mean Green. Two of its C-USA losses come at the hands of Southern Miss. Keiunna Walker leads the team in scoring averaging 17.2 PPG. Anna Larr Roberson is the team's best rebounder averaging 9.4 RPG and a second-best 13.2 points per contest.
North Texas (8-8, C-USA 2-4) will hit the road for a three game trip at UTEP (Feb. 3), UTSA (Feb. 5), and UAB (Feb. 7).
QUOTING HEAD COACH JALIE MITCHELL
"Looking forward to getting in front of our fans again, I thought they were huge last night in the win against USM. We're just ready to compete again and I thought we had some other people step up last night. We needed that badly. We want to continue to rebound, defend like we know we can, and execute offensively. Getting something from everybody will be huge, it's going to have to be a team effort across the board to pick up our second win this week."
