Mean Green outscored 25-10 in the third quarter
DALLAS (Dec. 7, 2022) – Trailing by just four a halftime, North Texas was unable to withstand a strong third quarter as they fell against SMU 64-46 Wednesday afternoon at the Moody Coliseum.
The Mean Green got 16 points from Quincy Noble who continued her hot start to the season but were outscored 25-10 in the third quarter as they drop to 2-6 overall. SMU, meanwhile, improved to 8-2 on the season.
After UNT scored the first four points of the game on back-to-back possessions, SMU answered with a 9-0 run of their own to take a five-point edge.
The Mean Green were able to respond with back-to-back baskets from Jasmyne Boles and Ereauna Hardaway to tie things up at nine.
Hardaway joined Noble as one of two UNT players in double figures as she finished with 11 points and went 5 for 10 from the floor to go along with three assists and three boards.
With the score knotted at 11, the Mustangs went bridged the first and second quarters with a 10-0 run to take a 21-11 lead.
Trailing 28-16, the Mean Green climbed back within four at the break as they closed the half with eight straight points highlighted by five from Breanna Davis alone to make the score 28-24 at the break.
Coming out of the locker room, SMU extended the lead with a big third quarter. With 7:14 left, the Mustangs outscored UNT 15-2 over the next six minutes of game action to push the lead to 50-30 with under a minute left in the quarter.
From there, SMU was able to keep UNT at arms-length the rest of the way as North Texas was unable to cut the deficit down under 14 points in the fourth quarter as the Mean Green dropped their third straight.
Tommisha Lampkin tied her career-high with five blocks while also adding 12 rebounds and six points in the loss.
Quoting Coach Mitchell
"The third quarter has been their best quarter all year, and we talked about that and how we had to match their energy out of the locker room. I thought they found some easy things…some dump offs to the post and things like that that we weren't giving up in the first half and that's what extended their lead and made it tough to come back from."
Up Next
After 11 days off the court, the Mean Green will return to action Jan. 18 when they travel to Washington, D.C., to take on Howard University at 1:00 pm CT.
