CHARLOTTE, N.C. (Interstat) — Two American Athletic Conference teams jockeying for position in the standings will meet Wednesday when the Charlotte 49ers host the North Texas Mean Green at Halton Arena. North Texas (16-12) arrives having won four of its last five, including a dramatic 73-72 home victory over Florida Atlantic on Sunday. The Mean Green are led by guard Je’Shawn Stevenson, who poured in 29 points in that win. Over his last five games, Stevenson is averaging 19.6 points, showcasing his role as the team’s primary scorer. Charlotte (14-13) snapped a four-game skid with a 68-56 home win over East Carolina on Saturday. The 49ers have relied on forward Anton Bonke, who nearly posted a double-double with 12 points and nine rebounds in that contest. Bonke has been a consistent interior presence, scoring in double figures in four of his last seven outings. The matchup features contrasting styles. North Texas will look to leverage Stevenson’s hot hand and the backcourt play of David Terrell, who dished out six assists Sunday. Charlotte will aim to control the paint through Bonke and Ben Bradford while benefiting from the distribution of guard Dezayne Mingo, who recorded 10 assists against East Carolina. Both teams are navigating the crowded middle of the AAC. With the conference tournament approaching, this game carries weight for seeding. North Texas seeks its first three-game road winning streak in conference play this season, while Charlotte looks to build momentum and protect its home court, where it is 10-5 this season. The game is scheduled for a 7 p.m. ET tip-off on Wednesday, Feb. 25, 2026, at Halton Arena.
