Projection: likely out
North Texas enters the fray with an interesting profile, marked by their stellar defense but hampered by an offense that struggles to keep pace. The Mean Green have proven they can grind out wins against mid-tier opponents, notably taking down the likes of Memphis and SMU at home, which indicates they can compete with solid competition. However, their offense sputters against higher caliber teams, as reflected in narrow losses to high-profile programs like Mississippi State and FAU, where their inability to score at critical moments cost them wins that could have bolstered their resume. Furthermore, losses to teams like UT San Antonio and a near-miss against East Carolina expose vulnerabilities that could be exploited in tournament play. While the defense is a major asset, without a balanced offensive attack, the team may not have the firepower needed to make a deep run in March Madness.
