Athletics
The UNT men's basketball team played the University of Memphis in the first round of the 2007 NCAA Tournament in New Orleans.
Since starting its intercollegiate athletics program in 1913, UNT has had a strong athletic tradition. From 2001 to 2004, the football team won four consecutive Sun Belt Conference championships and earned four consecutive invitations to the New Orleans Bowl. In non-conference play, the Mean Green has played nationally ranked teams such as the Oklahoma Sooners, the Texas Longhorns and the LSU Tigers.
The men's basketball team played in the 2007 NCAA Tournament after winning the Sun Belt Conference championship during the 2006-07 season. The team finished the season with a school-record 23 wins.
The women's soccer team has never had a losing season since its inception in 1995. The Mean Green has advanced to the Sun Belt Conference title game seven straight years, winning conference titles and earning bids to play in the NCAA Tournament in 2004 and 2005.
In addition, the university offers an extensive intramurals program with teams open to all students. Many students also participate in sport clubs.
