What to Know
Delta Devils fans better hope the squad plays one heck of a game on Wednesday as the odds are decidedly against them. After both having extra time off, they and the North Texas Mean Green will dust off their jerseys to challenge one another at 8:00 p.m. ET at The Super Pit. The Delta Devils are no doubt hoping to put an end to a 30-game streak of away losses dating back to last season.
Miss Valley State is coming in off a wild two-game stretch: after soaring to 91 points on December 2nd, they were much more limited against Liberty last Saturday. They were dealt a punishing 89-52 loss at the hands of the Flames. The Delta Devils were in a tough position after the first half, with the score already sitting at 40-16.

North Texas has been a dominant force so far, but they’re in the middle of a mini-slump at the moment. They fell 76-71 to High Point two weeks ago. The Mean Green didn’t live up to their potential and found themselves falling short of the advantage oddsmakers thought they had coming into the game.

Jossell had some trouble finding his footing against Utah State back in November, so this was a nice turnaround.
