North Texas Advances to NIT Semifinals
North Texas beat Oklahoma State on the road Tuesday night 61-59 to advance to the NIT semifinals for a second time in three years.
The Mean Green (27-8) were led in scoring Tuesday at Gallagher-Iba Arena by Atin Wright who poured in 15 points and made a crucial late 3-pointer. North Texas' defense forced 19 Cowboys (17-18) turnovers, the most they've forced an opponent into since Nov. 25.
North Texas, the 2023 NIT champions, will next head to Indianapolis on April 1 to play the semifinal game against the winner of UAB and UC Irvine, who play Wednesday in Irvine.
