1/5/2025 7:01:00 PM | Men's Basketball
MEMPHIS — The UNT men's basketball team fell 68-64 at No. 21 Memphis Sunday night.
The Mean Green (10-4, 1-1) got a career performance from senior big man Moulaye Sissoko who poured in a career-high 17 points on eight shots and grabbed a game-high eight rebounds in the four-point defeat.
North Texas' Brenen Lorient scored a team-high 18 points and was one of four different Mean Green players to score in double figures. Senior Jasper Floyd had 11 points to go along with a season-high six assists.
UNT outrebounded the nationally ranked Tigers (12-3, 2-0) 30-21and forced them into 15 turnovers and just seven assists.
"If you had told me we would force them into 15 turnovers and just seven assists and outrebound them by nine I would have really liked our chances," said head coach Ross Hodge. "But it was that stretch in the second half where we didn't handle their press well and we ended with 16 turnovers. We'll regroup together and get better from this together."
The Mean Green have a quick turnaround as they host Rice on Wednesday at Super Pit at 8 p.m. CT. UNT is 8-0 at home this season. The game will be broadcast on the Mean Green Sports Network, presented by Learfield and ESPNU.
