Tulane has been one of the better teams in the American Athletic Conference in recent years. Many programs, some which will be fairly new to the league, hope to find the same success in the next few seasons. In order to do that, they must recruit well.

DENTON – The UNT men’s basketball team has finalized a home-and-home series with Oregon State starting Nov. 25 in Denton. The Mean Green will make a return trip to OSU during the 2025-26 season at a date to be determined later. This upcoming season’s game at the Super Pit will be the first ever meeting between North Texas and the Beavers. The 2025 game in Corvallis, Oregon, will be their first trip to the Beaver State since 2013 when they played in Coaches vs. Cancer Tournament in Portland. In 2021 when North Texas upset Purdue in the first round of the NCAA Tournament for the program's first-ever NCAA Tournament victory, Oregon State reached the Elite Eight for the first time since 1982. Oregon State then and still are led by head coach Wayne Tinkle. UNT is entering its second season under head coach Ross Hodge. The Mean Green won 19 games last season and had victories over LSU, Memphis and SMU. They reached the second round of the National Invitation Tournament and are one of just seven teams in the country who have won a NCAA national postseason tournament game in each of the last four years. Hodge was named a finalist for the 2024 Joe B. Hall National Coach of the Year Award. He was the only rookie, first-year NCAA head coach to lead his team to either the NCAA Tournament, NIT or CBI Tournament.

"It's not something that's just unique to North Texas. It feels personal and as a fanbase, it is a difficult time, can't shy away from that," Hodge said. "How rapidly college athletics has changed in the last two years, really. It is tough, but we're certainly not alone." Hodge pointed out that North Texas is one of many teams dealing with talent leaving for the transfer portal. Out of the 15 players chosen for last season's AAC First, Second, and Third Teams, only one player is still in the conference. This player is Memphis guard PJ Haggerty, who transferred to the Tigers after a successful freshman year at Tulsa. Read more:

North Texas came tantalizingly close to becoming bowl eligible in its first season under coach Eric Morris last fall. The Mean Green played in eight one-possession games and won three of them. UNT needed to win one more to qualify for a bowl game and was left to wonder what might have been after finishing 5-7. “To go through a season with eight one-score games still haunts me,” Morris said this fall. “I think about the scenarios and situations that could have changed the course of those games to where we won seven or eight. We weren’t tough enough to pull those games out.” UNT is hoping it will be tough enough this season, its second in the American Athletic Conference.

During the past offseason, North Texas recruited transfers and freshmen at every position group, some of whom are expected to make significant contributions in the upcoming 2024 season. The team also saw the return of many key players who are poised to play pivotal roles in the upcoming campaign. In the first season under head coach Eric Morris and the program's debut in the American Athletic Conference, the Mean Green implemented a 3-3-5 defensive scheme. However, the defense struggled, ranking last nationally in yards allowed per game (476.4) and rushing yards allowed per game (255.2). The offense differed greatly from the defense. North Texas was ranked No. 21 among FBS teams in scoring offense with an average of 34.5 points per game and sixth in the country in total offense, averaging 495.8 yards per game.
