The University of North Texas men's basketball team is preparing to take part in the Snake River Invitational, a four-team tournament scheduled to occur at the Mountain America Center in Idaho Falls from November 27 to 29. This event is significant for the team as it aligns with their scheduling objectives.
Head coach Daniyal Robinson shared his excitement about the competition, noting that the opponents—Boise State, North Dakota State, and Drake—have all been involved in NCAA Tournament play recently, which will provide a tough challenge. He emphasized that competing in a new environment will mimic the atmosphere of postseason games, which is advantageous for the team's development.
North Texas will begin the tournament on November 27 against North Dakota State, marking their first-ever matchup. On November 28, they will renew their rivalry with Boise State in their 11th encounter. The Mean Green will conclude the tournament on November 29 with a game against Drake, which will be their 37th meeting overall. The specific game times will be announced later.
