FORT WORTH, Texas — UNT women's basketball will face third-seeded South Florida at 8 p.m. CT in the second semifinal of the night in the American Athletic Conference Championship at Dickies Arena.
The Mean Green and Bulls will go head-to-head for the third time this season after splitting the regular season matchups with each team winning on its home floor. North Texas won the first meeting on Jan. 11, 72-65, behind 29 points from Tommisha Lampkin. Exactly three weeks later, the Bulls avenged the loss with a 65-58 victory in Tampa.
The winner of Tuesday's matchup will secure a spot in the AAC Championship game against the winner of No. 4 Temple and No. 9 Rice. It would mark the first appearance in a conference tournament final for North Texas since 2002.
The Mean Green opened their postseason Monday night after earning a double bye to the quarterfinals as the second seed. North Texas was able to down East Carolina in regulation, something they had not been able to do in the two previous meetings which lasted four overtimes and two overtimes, respectively. Lampkin posted her 35th career double double with 15 points and 12 rebounds to pass Clara Campbell for the most double doubles in program history. Jaelyn Talley added 13 points with nine of them coming in a huge third quarter that turned the momentum of the game in favor of UNT.
South Florida entered Fort Worth as the three seed in the tournament and defeated No. 6 Tulane, 69-59, Monday night. Carla Brito led the Bulls with an impressive 15-point, 17-rebound performance. She was one of three USF players to score 15 points in the game.
The game will be streamed on ESPN+ with Tiffany Greene and Brooke Weisbrod on the call. It can also be heard on the Varsity Network app with Zac Babb and Michelle Brooks.
