Texas Pan American

[greenbyx]

Can someone explain to me why we play them home and away in the ssame season?

BBall seasons have more games and can therefore schedule multiple games for the same team. It's nothing new to play at home vs. team A and away vs. team A.

Care to give some examples? (Your examples should be non-conference)

I see it happen occasionally, but it is sorta rare for non conference teams to be scheduled more than once a season.

New Mexico State plays a home and away series with UTEP and New Mexico every season. North Texas played a home and away with Lipscomb just two seasons ago.

The big money schools don't do it because they like to play all non-conference games at home unless they get big TV money to play on the road.

I wish NT played TCU, SMU and UTA home and away every season. I think it would result in more local interest and better attendance not to mention saving money by cutting the travel budget.

Didn't we do this with Lipscomb a couple of years ago? Somehow they beat us there at the buzzer, then we beat them at home.

UTA also plays UT-Pan Am in a home and home series this year.

I have always hoped that we could get an annual Metroplex Tournament together (with NT, UTA, SMU and TCU), and rotate each year between Daniel-Meyer Coliseum, Moody Coliseum and the Super Pit (UTA couldn't handle a tourney like that in their wildest dreams at Texas Hall). Apparently, there is not enough interest for something like this to take place.
