What to Know

The Texas-San Antonio Roadrunners and the North Texas Mean Green are set to square off in a Conference USA matchup at 6 p.m. ET Feb. 5 at The Super Pit. The teams split their matchups last year, with North Texas winning the first 77-70 and the Roadrunners taking the second 77-69.

The contest between Texas-San Antonio and the Rice Owls on Thursday was not a total blowout, but with Texas-San Antonio falling 91-78 on the road, it was darn close to turning into one. Guard Jordan Ivy-Curry wasn't much of a difference maker for Texas-San Antonio; Ivy-Curry finished with ten points on 3-for-17 shooting in his 35 minutes on the court.

Meanwhile, North Texas escaped with a win on Saturday against the Louisiana Tech Bulldogs by the margin of a single free throw, 63-62.

Texas-San Antonio have to know they'll be fighting an uphill battle given the 18.50 point spread they are up against. Now might not be the best time to take the Roadrunners against the spread since they've let down bettors for the past two consecutive games.

Texas-San Antonio is now 8-14 while North Texas sits at 15-4. A pair of offensive stats to keep in the back of your head while watching: Texas-San Antonio has only been able to knock down 38.60% percent of their shots, which is the 351st lowest field goal percentage in college basketball. North Texas has experienced some struggles of their own as they are 49th worst in college basketball in points per game, with only 66.4 on average. It's possible one of these Achilles' heels will wind up tripping the losing team up.
