The Huskies held up to the offense of North Texas through the first quarter only trailing by 5.

In the second half the Huskies continued to score points, but could not stop the Mean Green in the paint giving up a total of 56 points in the paint.

As a team, the Huskies shot 44.3 percent (27-61) from the field and 26.7 percent (4-15) from three-point range.
