Women’s Basketball Hosts Tennessee State on Education Day
12/3/2024 9:36:00 AM | Women's Basketball
DENTON, Texas – The UNT women's basketball team hosts Tennessee State Wednesday at 11 a.m. CT on the program's Education Day.
The Mean Green (5-2) will welcome over 1,200 students from the DFW area to The Super Pit for Wednesday's contest.
North Texas enters the game looking to get back into the win column to kick off their final stretch of nonconference play, which includes four of the five remaining games being played in Denton. The Mean Green lost their last time out in a 75-58 defeat at New Mexico, which snapped a three-game win streak. Chania Price led the team with a career-high 10 points, while also posting new bests in steals and assists.
Tennessee State comes in at 4-4 on the season, led by former WNBA All-Star Candice Dupree. The Tigers won an overtime thriller over UNC Asheville their last time out, but have struggled away from their home arena as all four losses have come in road games thus far.
Wednesday's game will be streamed on ESPN+ with Doug Anderson and Brian Burton. The game can also be heard on the Varsity Network App with Zac Babb on the call.
WHAT 2 WATCH 4
• The Mean Green will host Tennessee State on Education Day inside The Super Pit.
• Jason Burton will look to earn the 200th win of his head coaching career against the Tigers.
• The Mean Green will wrap up the nonconference portion of their schedule with four of the five remaining games being at home.
• Desiree Wooten is coming off a big performance against Houston that featured a career high 23 points on 9-of-13 shooting.
• UNT's roster features seven returners from last season and six newcomers, including two true freshmen.
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 two teams (Oral Roberts) 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 6-2 on the season
• Make UNT 4-0 this season in The Super Pit
• Give UNT a 1-0 series lead over TSU
• Mark Jason Burton's 200th career head coaching win
