DENTON — The North Texas men's basketball team welcomes Fresno State to the Super Pit Saturday for a scheduled 5 p.m. CT tipoff. Saturday's game will be streamed on ESPN+ and the Mean Green Sports Network, presented by Learfield on The Varsity Network app. It will be UNT's (1-1) first game back at home since its home opening victory on Nov. 7 over Southern Nazarene. Saturday will be the Bulldogs' (1-2) first true road game of the year. Most recently, they fell at home to San Francisco on Wednesday, 67-60. Saturday will be just the third all-time meeting between the two programs and the first in 45 years. North Texas traveled to Fresno, California, in 1977 and won 88-81 over Fresno State. This will be the second time the Bulldogs have visited the Super Pit. The first time came in 1973, which was the arena's inaugural season. The Bulldogs won 96-95. North Texas fans are encouraged to wear green to Saturday's game. A pregame tailgate will begin at 3 p.m. CT. Fans can download the GMG Lights app on their phones, which will sync the light on their phone to the intro video song and play during the introduction to the Mean Green starting five. Additionally, UNT will honor the 2021-22 Conference USA championship team prior to tipoff and the world-famous Red Panda will perform at halftime. Tickets to Saturday's contest can be purchased here.
