True home game in the NIT's second round for North Texas, which has just one loss in Denton all season. UNT is in the NIT for a fourth straight year and 8-2 in it. The Mean Green aren't very good offensively but again one of the nation's top defensive clubs. Sunday marks the first time the two former conference rivals have played one another since 2013 and the first time they’ve met in a non-conference (regular season or postseason) matchup since 1978. The Mean Green play in the much tougher conference now in the AAC compared to A-State's Sun Belt. UNT guard Atin Wright and forward Brenen Lorient were both named first-team All-AAC.
