1/3/2025 3:24:00 PM | Women's Basketball
DENTON, Texas – UNT women's basketball will look to improve to remain unbeaten in conference play Saturday when it takes on Memphis at Elma Roane Fieldhouse.
Tip off between the Mean Green and Tigers is set for 2 p.m. CT and will be streamed on ESPN+. The game can also be heard on the Varsity Network Ap with Zac Babb on the call.
This will be the first time North Texas plays in Elma Roane Fieldhouse with the teams having only met twice before. UNT won the only meeting last season, 78-66, on Senior Day inside The Super Pit. The win clinched a share of the American Athletic Conference regular season title for the Mean Green.
Entering Saturday, North Texas is 10-4 on the season and was victorious in its first two AAC games. The Mean Green are coming off arguably their most complete game of the season taking down Tulsa, 84-78, on Wednesday behind 24 points from Jaaucklyn Moore.
Meanwhile, Memphis is 3-9 on the season, but 1-0 in conference play after defeating Wichita State, 93-83, in its conference opener. The Tigers are led by Tilly Boler, who is one of five Memphis players averaging double figures this season.
WHAT 2 WATCH 4
• UNT will look to move to 3-0 in AAC play when it travels to Memphis on Saturday
• Desiree Wooten was named to the AAC
Honor Roll following her performance against Wichita State.
• 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 595 entering Saturday.
STUFFING THE STAT SHEET
• In UNT's win over Wichita State, Desiree Wooten did something that no other Mean Green player since at least 2001 has done.
• The sophomore guard stuffed the stat sheet finishing with 12 points, eight rebounds, six assists, three blocks and two steals.
• There have only been three players in the nation this season to post a stat line on par with Wooten's performance against the Shockers. In addition, Wooten joins a group of four other players with those numbers in a game in the history of the American Conference (Breanna Stewart, Danae McNeal, Napheesa Collier and Alicia Froling).
A WIN WOULD...
• Improve UNT to 11-4 on the year
• Make the series record 3-0 in favor of UNT
• Be the 596th win in program history
• Improve UNT to 3-0 in conference play for the first time since the 2020-21 season
