A New Era for Mean Green Basketball
The University of North Texas has opened sales for the 2026‑27 men's and women's basketball season tickets, inviting supporters to lock in seats for what promises to be another competitive campaign. Prices begin at $99 for men's games and $75 for women's games, with a renewal deadline set for Friday, August 28.
Last season the Mean Green programs combined for 38 victories, highlighted by a dominant home record at the Super Pit. Twenty‑two of those wins came on their own court, yielding a .667 home winning percentage, and since joining the American Conference in 2023 the teams have compiled a 78‑19 record at the venue — the best mark in the league.
First‑year head coach Daniyal Robinson guided the men's squad to a 19‑14 overall record, the second‑best win percentage ever recorded by a first‑year DI coach at UNT. Robinson's .576 win rate and his nine conference victories, tied for the most by a first‑year coach in school history, underscore his rapid impact. The team also boasts the conference's highest home winning percentage at .800.
Under head coach Jason Burton, the women's team posted a 19‑14 record and continues to enjoy its most successful three‑year stretch in program history. Burton's tenure includes a program‑record 25 wins two seasons ago and the historic first WNBA contract for alumna Megan Nestor. The Lady Mean Green have finished in the top four of the American Conference each year under Burton and have logged at least 19 wins in three consecutive seasons.
Fans interested in purchasing or renewing season tickets can do so through the UNT Athletics Ticket Office or by visiting MeanGreenSports.com/Tickets. The deadline to secure seats is fast approaching, making early action essential for those eager to support the Mean Green throughout the upcoming season.
