Women’s Basketball Announces Nonconference Slate

UNT will play 12 games, including seven at The Super Pit, prior to the start of AAC play

DENTON, Texas – UNT women’s basketball head coach Jason Burton finalized the program’s nonconference schedule for the upcoming 2024-25 season that features three games against major conference opponents and seven home contests.

“We put together a challenging schedule with key road games at Santa Clara, New Mexico, and Power 4 teams such as Oregon and Houston,” Burton said. “It was also important to us to keep the rivalry game going with SMU who is now a Power 4 opponent as a member of the ACC. This is a challenging nonconference schedule that will prepare us for another good run in the American Athletic Conference.”

North Texas will face Midwestern State in a home exhibition game Oct. 30 before beginning the regular season with a pair of home games. The season opener will welcome Alcorn State back to The Super Pit for the second consecutive season on Nov. 4.Later that week, UNT will take on Texas Southern in the first meeting between the programs since 1998.

The first road game of the season will be an early test for the Mean Green going to Eugene to square off with Oregon. The Nov. 12 matchup marks the first time playing against the Ducks in program history and will be the first time UNT has played a women’s basketball game in the state of Oregon.

The Mean Green will close out the month of November with three games in nine days prior to Thanksgiving Break. UNT will travel to Abilene Christian on Nov. 16 before hosting Northwestern State on Nov. 20 and wrapping up the stretch with a road contest at Houston on Nov. 24.

December will commence with a road trip to New Mexico on Dec. 1 followed by home games against Tennessee State and Southern Illinois. The contest with Tennessee State on Dec. 4 will serve as the Denton ISD Kids Game welcoming elementary schools from around the area to The Super Pit. The Mean Green will then hit the road for a matchup with Santa Clara in the first ever meeting against the Broncos who are coming off a 25-win season and trip to the WBIT.

The nonconference schedule will conclude with a midseason tournament inside The Super Pit with SMU and Chicago State coming to town. UNT will look to make it three consecutive wins against the Mustangs on Dec. 19 after sweeping the series last season, then take on Chicago State for the first time ever on Dec. 21.

The remainder of UNT’s 2024-25 schedule will be revealed by the American Athletic Conference at a later date.
