UNT has only lost to Oklahoma and has wins against New Mexico, Indiana State, and Portland. The rest of their schedule has not been especially tough but this is going to be a tough game for the Owls to win. Grant McCasland seems to be doing a good job with their program in his second year, despite having 3 players transfer after the end of last season.

UNT beat Rice twice last year on their way to 20 wins. Rice plays the Mean Green Saturday and again January 19
