DENTON (12/9/05) - The Mean Green will play the first of five consecutive home games this weekend, hosting Nicholls State at 7 p.m. on Saturday at the Super Pit. Every North Texas game can be heard live on KWRD (100.7 FM) in the Dallas/Fort Worth area.
North Texas, which is 2-0 at home this season, plays its next five games at the Super Pit and has six home games during the month of December. The Mean Green also plays nine of its next 10 games at home, including its first four Sun Belt Conference contests. The Mean Green’s only road outing during that stretch will come on January 2 at Tulsa.
North Texas is 9-5 all-time against Nicholls State and will play the Colonels for the first time since the 1995-96 season. The two teams split the season series that year as Southland Conference opponents. The Mean Green won the last game, 81-67 in Denton. The two teams met for the first time on January 11, 1971, and the Mean Green came away with a 95-76 victory in Thibodaux.
The Jr. Mean Green Club Fun Zone opens one hour prior to each game. Tickets begin at $5 for the men and $3 for the women and can be purchased at the gates, or by calling the Athletic Ticket Office at (940) 565-2527.
