The last Time Out DENTON, Texas (1/14/2009) – Four players scored in double-figures, including a career-high 17 points from freshman Mansa El and the Mean Green snapped a six-game losing streak with a 76-69 win over Denver Wednesday evening at The Super Pit. North Texas (6-11, 2-4) went on a 9-0 run after the game was tied 63-63, including four points from Brittney James and a clutch three-pointer from Yari Escalera. The Mean Green tied a season-high with 25 offensive rebounds and made 15-of-16 from the free throw line in the second half to help North Texas get a much-needed victory. Escalera continued her hot play of late by scor-ing a game-high 18 points, 14 of which came in the second half. She also nailed 4-of-5 from beyond the arc. After scoring only 25 points in the first half, North Texas began the second half on a 19-6 run to take the lead for the first time since the 17:37 mark in the opening stages of the contest. Escalera and El came out of the locker room blazing to start second half. Each player scored five consecutive points in the midst of a 10-0 run, capped off by an Escal-era three-point play to give the Mean Green a 44-40 lead. After the Pioneers opened up a 25-13 at the 5:42 mark, the Mean Green closed strong by going on a 12-9 run.

The SeriesNorth Texas and Florida Atlantic are meeting for only the third-time in series history. The Mean Green have won both previous meeting and they have both been by the same margin, eight points. North Texas won on the road in Boca Raton last season 74-66. The only meeting in Denton was an 80-72 win by the Mean Green in 2007.

Second half SurgeThe Mean Green made a second-half rally from nine-points down to defeat the Denver Pioneers. North Texas scored 51 points in the second half to complete the rally, the most second half points since scoring 52 points against UA-Monticello on November 21, 2007. The Mean Green’s previous second half high this season was 48 points against Charleston Southern.

Monster MansaFreshman Mansa El turned in a career performance against the the Denver Pioneers. El shattered her career-high in points with 17 and assists with five. She was pivitol down the stretch, scoring 14 of her 17 points in the second half. It was the first double figure game of El’s career. El also had her second best assist-to-turnover ratio of the season with five assists and just three turnovers.

Starting To Catch OnYari Escalera has turned into a new player since moving into the starting lineup. Escalera has made four straight starts and is averaging 15.5 points a game and added another 18 points in the win over Denver. Escalera, already a great 3-point shooter, has taken her long distance game to another level. Escalera in the last four games has hit 12 3-pointers while hitting 63 percent of her 3-pointers. While Escalera has been torrid from the field, she has also gotten things done on the defensive side. Escalera in the last four games has averaged three steals.

its Okay To StealOne area that Shanice Stephens has focused on is getting turnovers and mistakes and the Mean Green is producing in that area. Through 17 games, North Texas has 189 steals and has a chance to challenge the school record which stands at 370. North Texas is on pace for 337 steals this season, which would be the fourth most in school history. More impressive is that number would be the most steals in a single season for North Texas in over 24 years.

Welcome backSenior Jo Hall returned from her suspension and saw 19 minutes of action against Denver. While Hall had to shake off eight games worth of rust, she was good for eight points and five rebounds, right on her season average before the suspension.

Group Activities While the Mean Green as a team has been active creating turnovers, a trio of players has been racking up steals. Amber Jackson, Brittney James, and Tricia Lee are on pace for more than 50 steals this season. North Texas hasn’t had three players with 50 steals or more since the 1998-99 season. Jackson has 33, James 33, and Lee 32 on the season.

The Magic NumbersThe Mean Green is 5-2 this season when holding its opponent to 70 points or less but 1-9 when allowing more than 70 points this season. In terms of field goal percentage, NT is 3-1 when holding its opponent to less than 40 percent this season but only 3-10 when allowing better than 40 percent shooting this season. North Texas is 3-9 this season when scoring 70 points or less but 3-2 when crossing the 70-point threshold.

Two Of A KindAmber Jackson and Brittney James have a chance to make a little history at North Texas.

She needs to average just under 15 points a game to have a chance to reach 1,000 points. She is on pace to have 948 at the end of the season.

North Texas has 18 games away from home, one of those however is a neutral site game with Charleston Southern. The good news is that the longest road swing is to start the year as the Mean Green plays its first five games away from home. Its the first time since the 1998-99 season that the Mean Green will play five straight games to open the year away from home. Most road games in school history in a season2008-09: 17 games2006-07: 17 games1986-87: 16 games

No Place like homeNorth Texas has certainly enjoyed the friendly confines of the Super Pit over the last nine years. Since the 1998-99 season, North Texas has a record of 90-36 at home which includes two undefeated seasons. NT Records At Home Since 1998-991998-99: 10-01999-00: 11-22000-01: 9-22001-02: 12-0

heAD COACh ShANiCe STePheNSOn April 16, 2008 Shanice Stephens was named the University of North Texas’ fifth women’s basketball head coach by University President Dr. Gretchen M. Bataille and Athletic Director Rick Villarreal. Known around the country as one of the best recruiters, Stephens has spent the last three seasons as the associate head coach at Clemson and was at Rice for nine seasons prior to that. Stephens picked up her first career win as a head coach against UMKC. Stephens, 37, is the youngest head coach in the Sun Belt Conference and the second-youngest Division I head coach in the state of Texas. While at Clemson, Stephens was the recruiting coordinator that saw the Lady Tigers sign some of the best classes in school history, including the nation’s 22nd ranked class in 2006 by The All-Star Girls Report.

Lele Hardy, the first recruit to sign under McKinney, had one of the most prolific freshman campaigns in program history. Hardy was named to the 2007 ACC All-Freshman team and set numerous school freshman records in 2006-07.

Stephens, who has a reputation for developing great defenders, guided Hardy to an ACC-best 3.27 steals per game her freshman season. Hardy collected 98 for the season to rank second all-time in program history.

During her time at Rice from 1996-2005, Stephens was part of program that reached heights never before seen by the women’s basketball team. Rice won 20 games or more in six of the nine seasons and reached the NCAA Tournament twice (2000, 2005) along with trips to the WNIT in 1998, 1999, 2002, and 2004.

Along with the six post-season appearances for Rice, Stephens helped the Lady Owls to 179 wins and was part of the program that averaged just under 20 wins per season in her time at Rice. The 2004-05 season saw Rice capture a school record 24 wins and its second WAC Tournament title and trip to the NCAA Tournament. In 1999-00 Stephens helped lead Rice to the WAC Tourna-ment Championship and the school’s first ever NCAA Tournament berth.

Stephens had a significant impact in the development of four-time All-WAC selection, All-Time Top 50 WAC player and former WNBA player Marla Brumfield. Under Stephens’ guidance, Brumfield finished first in Rice history with 311 steals, and third in Lady Owl history with 1,703 career points scored. Stephens also coached Charonda Wilson, a two-time WAC All-Defensive Team selection. Stephens spent three years as an Athletic Amateur Union (AAU) coach in Okla-homa, guiding her 1996 team to the state championship.

Stephens earned her undergraduate degree in 1993 from Oklahoma State, where she earned two letters and was a member of two NCAA Tournament teams. The Cowgirls advanced to the Sweet 16 of the national tournament during her senior season. Stephens started at point guard for Austin Peay during the 1989-90 season, her first year of eligibility. She earned a masters degree in 1996 from the University of Central Oklahoma. The former Shanice Bottoms is married to Garrett Stephens. She has two daughters, Sydney Alex-andria (7) and Lauryn A’lyce (1), a son Grayson David , and two stepsons Garrett (13) and Grant (8).

WhAT They ARe SAyiNG AbOUT ShANiCe STePheNS

“I have had the pleasure of working with Shanice Stephens for 12 years. She is a hard working coach with a real passion for the game of basketball and coaching. Coach Stephens has a real gift when it comes to communicating with people and this gift serves her very well with players, recruits and co-workers. I have no doubt that she will do a great job with the North Texas women’s basketball program” --Cristy McKinney, Clemson head Women’s basketball Coach

“I think she has every critical element to be ultra successful at North Texas. She can really teach and I’ve seen that first hand. She communicates in varied ways and it’s all earmarked to reach each person. What sets her apart is she has the passion but also compassion, and that’s very rare that you see people combine both. She is a tremendous teacher and an even better person, but she will never lose sight of her number one job which is to impact the lives of student-athletes in a positive manner”--Jeff Van Gundy, eSPN Analyst and Former NbA Coach “Shanice is someone who is full of energy, vitality, and I think she will do a great job at North Texas. She is very knowledgeable about the game one of the best things about Shanice is she can invigorate players and the way that she works with people” --Willis Wilson, Former University of Rice Men’s basketball head Coach

Game Recaps

HUNTINGTON, W.Va. (11/17/08) – Despite a career-high 21 points from Tricia Lee, the Marshall Thundering Herd held off a feisty North Texas women’s basketball team to win 78-69 from the Cam Henderson Center.

Lee had five 3-pointers on the night including one with 2:26 remaining to cut the Marshall lead to 70-67. The Thundering Herd (2-0) though answered back with a lay-up from Alix Barnette and outscored North Texas 9-2 in the final two minutes to pick up the win. It was a back and forth game that saw North Texas break open a close game in the first half with a 12-3 run to take a 33-26 lead with three minutes to play in the half. Marshall answered back with a run of its own to end the first half.

The Thundering Herd got a basket at the buzzer from Casey Baker to cap off a 10-1 run to close the half and take a 36-34 lead into the break. North Texas (0-1) came out strong to start the second half tak-ing a six point, 48-42, five minutes in thanks to 10 quick points from guard Brittney James.

Marshall had another answer as post Tynikki Crook proved to be a physical presence down low. Crook fueled a Thundering Herd 9-0 run to give Marshall a 65-57 lead with seven minutes to play.

KANSAS CITY, Missouri (11/22/08) – Brittney James scored a game-high 23 points and Amber Jackson recorded a double-double (15 points, 11 rebounds) to help Shanice Stephens and the Mean Green record their first win of the season in a 80-74 victory over University of Missouri-Kansas City.

After a high scoring first half, North Texas (1-1) held the Kanga-roos to only 30 percent shooting from the field and 34 points in the second half. North Texas never trailed after gaining a 21-19 lead at the 10:06 mark and eventually pushed their first half lead to points before they went into the half with a 45-40 lead.

The Mean Green came out of the gates strong in the second half by going on a 14-7 run that was capped by a Brittani Bailey jumper to extend North Texas’ lead to 59-47. Bailey had her best game of the season with 11 points in 20 minutes of action. UMKC (1-2) made a run late by trimming the lead to 78-74 with 39 seconds remaining but never got any closer as James made two clutch free throws to secure the win.

Overall North Texas shot 53 percent from the field, including 3-of-7 from beyond the arc. Yari Escalera and Mansa El also were key components in the win with 9 and 8 points respectively.

CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas (11/24/08) – A stifling defense and 18 points by Brittney James powered the North Texas women’s basketball team to its second straight victory over Texas A&M-Corpus Christi 61-53. The Mean Green had 22 steals, the fifth most in school history, and forced 34 Islander turnovers to pick up their second straight road win.

“We picked up the intensity on the defensive end but we are still a work in progress,” said coach Shanice Stephens. “We have some things that we need to work on but to get a road win is always good”.

The Mean Green (2-1) never trailed in the game, leading wire-to-wire. North Texas turned the Islander mistakes into 25 points and had nine different players with steals. The Mean Green jumped on the Islanders from the start, taking a 13-5 lead seven minutes into the game. Texas A&M-Corpus Christi never got any closer than nine points in the first half.

The second half was controlled by the Mean Green as they stretched their lead out to 16 points at 47-31 with 10 minutes to play. The Islanders (1-3) made one final run late in the game to cut the lead to eight, but a layup by Tricia Lee with two minutes to play ended the comeback.

Amber Jackson also had double figures on the night for the 49th time of her career with 12 points while notching a career-best six steals in the game.

SAN ANTONIO, Texas (11/28/08) – Jo Hall tied her career-high with 25 points and North Texas won its third straight game with a 65-61 over UTSA in the opening game of the UTSA Thanksgiving Classic. The Mean Green (3-1) rallied from a nine-point first-half deficit, made a key defensive stop, and four free throws down the stretch to hold off the Roadrunners.

With North Texas leading 61-59, UTSA (1-4) had a chance to tie the game with 18 seconds left but Amber Jackson blocked the shot of Onika Anderson and the Mean Green grabbed the rebound. Hall and Yari Escalera finished the game off from the free throw line with four straight makes.

The Mean Green had an early 10-9 lead, but UTSA went on a 13-2 run to open up a nine-point lead at 21-12 with eight minutes left in the first half. Hall single handily kept North Texas in the game as she went 7-for-7 in the first half and keyed a 20-7 run over the next five minutes. UTSA scored the final five points of the half to take one point lead into the break at 33-32. The Mean Green opened the sec-ond half with a 12-6 run to lead by five at 44-39. North Texas grew the lead to 11 at 56-45 with six minutes to play after five straight points by Escalera. UTSA made one final push late in the game to get the lead to two points but came up short.

The Mean Green has won three road games through four games, which is faster than any other team in school history.

SAN ANTONIO, Texas (11/29/08) – Brittney James 3-pointer at the buzzer fell just short and the North Texas (3-2) women’s basketball team dropped a two-point game to Charleston Southern 97-95 at the UTSA Thanksgiving Classic. James scored a career-high 34 points in the game but her game-winner at the buzzer fell just shy. Charleston Southern capped a furious second half rally after trailing by nine-points at the half by hitting nine 3-pointers and 60 percent of their shots. The Buccaneers (3-4) began their rally to start the second half after North Texas dominated the opening 20 minutes. Charleston South-ern had an 11-2 run in the first three minutes of the half to tie the game up at 49-49. The Mean Green continued to maintain the lead until a 3-pointer by Kelsey Wasmer with 10 minutes to play gave the Buccaneers their first lead of the game at 69-67. Charleston Southern pushed its lead to 10-points at 83-73 with 6:51 to play. The Mean Green began its rally with three 3-pointers, one from Tricia Lee and two from James. A Lee lay-up with 1:31 to play made it a one-point game at 93-92, but Pam Tolbert hit a jumper from the baseline to put the Bucs up by three again at 95-92. A free throw by Lydia Johnson made it a four-point lead at 96-92 but Lee had another lay-up with 29 seconds to make is just a two-point Charleston Southern lead. Tolbert missed two free throws with 24 seconds to give the Mean Green a chance. Trailing by two, 96-94, James was fouled with six seconds to play while shooting a 3-pointer. She missed the first two free throws before making the last one to cut it to a one-point game at 96-95. Tolbert made one of two free throws to give Charleston Southern a 97-95 lead before the final miss by James.

DENTON, Texas (12/2/08) – The Houston Cougars 13-0 run to end the first half proved to be too much for the Mean Green women’s basketball team to overcome in an 80-66 loss in the home opener Tuesday night at the Super Pit.

Amber Jackson scored 21 points to lead North Texas as she became the 10th player in school history to eclipse the 1,000 career point mark with 1,008 current points.

However, the Mean Green (3-3) struggled from the field shooting only 28 percent, including 21 percent from three point territory (5-of-23).

North Texas also had 24 turnovers for the game and allowed four Houston players to score in double figures, including a game-high 23 points from Porsche Landry.

After trailing by as many as 19 points in the second half, the Mean Green managed to trim the lead to 72-63 with 2:17 remaining in the contest, but could not draw any closer.

DALLAS, Texas (12/14/08) – Despite Amber Jackson’s sixth straight double-double the North Texas women’s basketball team was unable to overcome 31 turnovers as SMU downed the Mean Green 74-57 at Moody Coliseum. SMU (3-5) turned the North Texas (4-5) mistakes into 28 points sending the Mean Green to its second straight loss.

“We just had way too many mistakes to beat a team like SMU and we have to take care of the ball better than that if we are going to be successful,” said North Texas coach Shanice Stephens. “We have a lot of work to do to get better but it starts with taking care of the basketball”.

SMU used two big runs in the first half to take control of the game. North Texas took an early 6-2 lead, but SMU responded with a 13-6 run to take a 15-12 lead. The Mustangs closed out the first half with another big run of 14-2 to take a 37-22 lead into the break.

North Texas got as close as 11 points in the second half but could never get the SMU lead down to single digits.

Jackson record 16 points and 15 rebounds to notch her sixth straight double-double. Tricia Lee added 15 points and Brittney James had 13 points.

North Texas is back in action on Thursday night as they begin Sun Belt Conference play on the road at Louisiana-Lafayette.

LAFAYETTE, La. (12/18/08) – Shanice Stephens and the North Texas women’s basketball team introduced the Sun Belt and Louisiana-Lafayette to “94-Feet of Heat” in a 57-56 win over the Ragin’ Cajuns on Thursday. Her mantra from day one, NT’s first year head coach used some potent offense to vault the Mean Green (5-5, 1-0 Sun Belt) out to a 37-24 halftime lead and hung on to beat the Cajuns (2-9, 0-1 Sun Belt) with a pair of key defensive stands.

After UL’s Mercedes Johnson hit a runner with just over a minute remaining to give the Cajuns their first lead of the game, Amber Jackson responded just seconds later to put NT back on top 57-56. Tricia Lee pulled out the game’s biggest hustle play when she dove for a loose ball on a UL inbounds play to give the Mean Green the possession with 26 seconds remaining, and Jackson came up with another big steal to ice the game.

The reigning Sun Belt Player of the Week, Jackson led the Mean Green with 20 points and 12 rebounds for her seventh straight dou-ble-double. No Mean Green player since NT Hall-of-Famer Clara Campbell in 1985-86 had more consecutive double-doubles. The Mean Green gave the Cajuns little room to operate in the opening minutes. NT held Louisiana off the scoreboard for the game’s first 6:32, and jumped out to a quick 10-0 lead. The Cajuns responded with a run of their own before Mansa El got loose. The freshman exploded for eight straight points on a pair of 3-pointers and cutting layup to put NT up 24-12 with just under eight minutes to play in the first.The Mean Green committed just five turnovers in the first half, but couldn’t find the handle in the second. The Cajuns turned 14 second half NT turnovers into 14 points to close the gap in the final minutes.

STILLWATER, Okla. (12/28/08)- No. 21 Oklahoma State used a big second half run to pull away from the North Texas women’s basket-ball team and win their sixth straight game 80-54 from Gallagher-Iba Arena. The Cowgirls (9-2) lead wire-to-wire but blew the game open early in the second half with an 18-2 run and never looked back.

“We just had too many mistakes today and were in a little bit of a rush on offense and you just can’t do that against a great team like Oklahoma State,” said coach Shanice Stephens.

The Cowgirls opened that game with an 8-2 run and were able to push their lead to 19-10 with 13 minutes left in the first half. The Mean Green (5-7) kept the game close in the first half but Oklahoma State used a big run of 15-6 to end the first half and take a 40-22 lead.

North Texas cut the Cowgirl lead to 14 points at 42-28 early in the second half but mistakes doomed the Mean Green. Oklahoma State forced 29 turnovers and converted those into 34 points. The Cow-girls used the Mean Green’s mistakes to make the 18-2 run and take a 66-35 lead with 7 minutes left.

The Mean Green held All-American Andrea Riley to a season-low 14 points and forced her into eight turnovers.

Amber Jackson’s streak of eight straight double-doubles came to an end as she was held to 10 points and six rebounds.

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (1/7/09) – UALR was able to hold off a late rally by the North Texas women’s basketball team and remain perfect in Sun Belt Conference play with a 70-61 win from the Jack Stephens Center.

Down by as many as 17 points in the second half, the Mean Green (5-10, 1-3) cut the UALR (12-3, 4-0) lead to five points with 2:52 left at 61-56, but a key 3-pointer by Anshel Cooper was able to keep the Trojans ahead for good.

“We played well tonight for about 30 minutes but we can’t have those types of defensive lapses and beat a team like UALR,” said coach Shanice Stephens. “Defensively we did what we needed to and got them out of their rhythm but we just have to find a way to be more consistent than that”.

North Texas raced out to an early 7-0 lead five minutes into the game. That lead grew to 12 points at 21-9 with 7:36 remaining in the half before UALR made a crucial run to turn the game around. UALR went on a 17-0 run over the next 6:21 to surge ahead of North Texas 26-21 right before the break.

The run continued into the second half as UALR turned a three-point halftime lead into a 15-point cushion with a 19-7 run.

The Trojans pushed their lead to 17-points at 47-30 when the Mean Green began its comeback. Amber Jackson keyed a 15-4 North Texas run that cut the Trojans lead in half to 51-45 with 7:46 to play.

The two teams traded baskets down the stretch until the 3-pointer by Cooper. Jackson had a game-high 26 points on the night, two shy of her career-high.

Escalera continued her hot play of late by scoring a game-high 18 points, 14 of which came in the second half. She also nailed 4-of-5 from beyond the arc. After scoring only 25 points in the first half, North Texas began the second half on a 19-6 run to take the lead for the first time since the 17:37 mark in the opening stages of the contest. Escalera and El came out of the locker room blazing to start second half. Each player scored five consecutive points in the midst of a 10-0 run, capped off by an Escalera three-point play to give the Mean Green a 44-40 lead. North Texas struggled shooting in the first half, connecting on only 27 percent from the field (9-of-33).
