UNO has lost 6 in a row and 15 of their last 17 and currently sit dead last in the Sun Belt. That said, crazy things happen at Lakefront Arena and it is never an easy trip for UNT.

Probable Starters -

PG. Carl Blair 6'2" 205 Fr. (8.3ppg, 4.5rpg, 3.5apg)

SG. Devin McDonald 6'0" 185 Jr. (8.0ppg, 2.1rpg, 1.7apg)

SF. Charles Carmouche 6'2" 175 Soph. (12.6ppg, 4.5rpg, 2.0apg)

PF. Ejike Hart 6'8" 225 Sr. (4.7ppg, 5.2rpg)

C. Johann Mpondo 6'8" 230 Soph. (4.6ppg, 3.1rpg)

UNO lost its top scorer, Billy Humprhey, in January and all signs seem to point to his season being finished. Hart, UNO's leading rebounder, played limited minutes last Thursday against USA and missed the Privateers game against UALR...I can't find any information as to an injury, suspension, ect. If Hart sits again, UNO still has good size with JL Lewis (6'8" 230) and Jaroslav Tyrna (6'10" 225).

UNT beat UNO on 1/9 at the Pit 71-57, and without the services of Eric Tramiel. UNT was paced by Josh White's 21 and Tristan Thompson's 18 off the bench. George Odufuwa managed 9 and 9, but was limited to just 18 minutes due to foul trouble.

Tristan Thompson has scored in double figures in all 13 conference games, is averaging 18.6ppg in conference and after his 20 point performance against FIU, has over-taken Josh White as the season scoring leader at 14.3ppg.

George Odufuwa has a double-double in 5 of his last 6 games.

Eric Tramiel is shooting 65% from the field in his 7 games back from injury, including 6 double figure scoring nights, 2 25 point poerformances and 1 double-double.

Shannon Shorter is averaging 8.8ppg, 4.2rpg, 3.6apg in his last five games...he doesn't blow you away with anything in particular, but I feel he is really falling into the glue-guy-like roll who contributes what is needed to help this team win.

Prediction time?

NT by 5

JJ knows that the BOR is watching...so he doesn't get paid unless we win by 5 touchdowns.

Seriously, I think we win by double figures. I think UNO is a beaten team by this point in the season

With a win over UNO, plus FAU beating ULL, WKU over ArkState, and MTSU over Denver, things just got even more interesting in the standings... there is a decent shot that this scenario plays out too!! None of these wins would be unexpected.
