UNT playing one final tune-up game before the regular season
DENTON, Texas – Led by a group of talented returning pieces and several impact newcomers, North Texas women's basketball hits the floor in the Super Pit for the first time in the 2022-23 season Thursday as they take on Texas A&M International at 6:30 p.m.
The Mean Green, who return six players from last year's roster, will be looking to build off a strong 2021-22 season and have their sights set on even bigger goals in 22-23.
Last season, UNT became the first team since 2002 to earn a bid to the Women's NIT after posting a 17-13 overall record and advancing to the semifinal of the C-USA Tournament. The Mean Green finished just one possession shy of clinching a berth in the title game for the first time since joining C-USA.
The Mean Green will be led this season by senior Quincy Noble who led UNT in scoring with 14.4 points per game a season ago. A Second Team All C-USA selection, Noble landed on the Preseason All-Conference team earlier this month and is expected to have a big 22-23 campaign.
HISTORY
- This will be the second all-time meeting between UNT and A&M International
- UNT won the only official matchup between the two programs, taking home a 64-38 win on Nov. 14, 2017.
SCOUTING A&M INTERNATIONAL

- The Dustdevils have already played one Division I opponent in an exhibition matchup this season, dropping an 88-54 contest against SMU on Tuesday.
- Int'l finished 18-11 last season and advanced to the Quarterfinal of the LSC Tournament.
- They are led offensively by Raiana Brown who averaged 16.4 points per game last season. Brown finished with eight points, four rebounds and two steals in Tuesday's exhibition against SMU.
QUICK FACTS

- Head Coach Jalie Mitchell has amassed 100 wins in her career at UNT, the second coach in program history to reach triple digits.
- The 2022-23 schedule for UNT will feature eight schools who appeared in the NCAA Tournament or WNIT a season ago (SFA, Montana St., UTA, SMU, Howard, Charlotte, LA Tech, MTSU)
- North Texas returns a pair of starters from last year's club in Noble and Jaylen Mallard.
