Women’s Basketball Set to Begin AAC Play at Wichita State
12/27/2024 2:20:00 PM | Women's Basketball
DENTON, Texas – The UNT women's basketball team will look to begin American Athletic Conference play with a road win against Wichita State on Sunday at 1 p.m. CT.
It will be the first of two meetings this season between the teams as Wichita State will make a return trip to Denton on Jan. 18. The programs have only met three times before with the Shockers earning victories in the first two, while North Texas rallied from an 18-point deficit in the second half to earn its first win in the series by a score of 72-68 last season.
The Mean Green enter conference play with an 8-4 record, following a split at the Evan Moore Classic. North Texas suffered its first loss inside The Super Pit on Dec. 19, falling to SMU, 74-66, before bouncing back with an 83-57 victory over Chicago State.
While North Texas was chosen to finish second in the AAC Preseason Coaches Poll, Wichita State was projected to finish in 12th place garnering 32 votes. The Shockers went 6-7 during nonconference play with a loss to Oral Roberts in their finale that snapped a three-game win streak.
Sunday's game will be streamed on ESPN+ and can also be heard on the Varsity Network App with Zac Babb on the call.
WHAT 2 WATCH 4
• UNT will open AAC play on the road at
Wichita State on Sunday.
• North Texas ended nonconference play with an 8-4 record following a split at the Evan Moore Classic.
• The Mean Green are closing in on the program's 600th career win, currently sitting at 593 entering Sunday.
ANYBODY ON ANY NIGHT
• UNT women's basketball had never had three players score 20+ points in a game until Nov. 4, 2024 against Alcorn State.
• Kyla Deck (27), Tommisha Lampkin (23) and Desiree Wooten (20) became the first trio to accomplish the feat in program history
• UNT is one of eight teams to have three players score 20+ points in a game so far this season, and it was only done a total of 19 times in the 2023-24 campaign.
• To put the versatility of UNT's scoring into perspective, the Mean Green had a 20-point performance 18 times in the 2023-24 season with only three of them not coming from Tommisha Lampkin or DesiRay Kernal.
A WIN WOULD…
• Improve UNT to 9-4 on the season
• Make UNT 3-3 in road games this year
• Improve UNT to 1-0 in conference play for the first time since the 2020-21 season
• Tie the series, 2-2, with Wichita State
