The University of North Texas Mean Green men's basketball team is set to travel to Idaho Falls, Idaho, for the Snake River Invitational, a three‑day event that will run from November 27 through 29.
The tournament will be held at the Mountain America Center and will feature a compact slate of games against Boise State, North Dakota State and Drake, each of which arrives with recent NCAA Tournament experience.
First‑ever showdown with North Dakota State
The Mean Green will open the competition on November 27 against North Dakota State, marking the program’s inaugural meeting with the Bison and providing an early test of the team’s chemistry under postseason‑style conditions.
A day later, on November 28, the squad will face Boise State, followed by a final matchup against Drake on November 29, completing a schedule designed to mimic the compressed turnarounds and unfamiliar venues that characterize NCAA tournament play.
Beyond the on‑court action, the event serves as a developmental platform, allowing coaches to evaluate depth, experiment with rotations and fine‑tune strategies against high‑level competition before the regular season fully unfolds.
Fans can expect a lively atmosphere at the Mountain America Center, where the Mean Green will look to translate the experience into momentum as they head into the remainder of their schedule.
