TONIGHT'S GAME: FAU (10-11, 6-5) make their first and only trip this season to Denton to take on North Texas (6-16, 3-8). The Owls won their previous meeting against the Mean Green last season 70-69 at the Super Pit by making a furious comeback in the final minute. FAU trailed 69-67 with three seconds remaining when Breana Turner made a layup off an inbound play and got fouled. The then freshman sank the free-throw and the Mean Green missed a desperation half-court heave at the buzzer as FAU held onto the 70-69 victory.

Michelle Gonzlaez scored all 10 of FIU's points in overtime to secure the victory.
LAST TIME OUT FOR NORTH TEXAS: The Mean Green are coming off their second straight blowout loss, falling 119-51 to Middle Tennessee on Saturday in Murfreesboro. North Texas struggled on the defensive end allowing MTSU to make 20-of-34 shots from behind the arc.
