Saint Mary's any good?

No, middle of pack team in a lower tier conference.

Will we have and out of conference home games?

As of now, nothing. We will probably play a lower level D1 team/D2 team at home, but I’m not sure when we find out.

With, assumed, 8 games already (assuming we play @ UTA and a championship game for the Nassau Tournament), we’d only have 4-5 more slots of games left.

Not sure if this is 100% accurate, but Fri. Nov. 18 has been reported as a very possible date for Nevada's makeup visit to Arlington. Wondering then if they would play you on that Wed. or Sunday? Or maybe even rare back-to-back nights in Arlington and Denton for some early tournament type conditioning?

Finally a home game, and  good one at that.

And it's a Saturday, I believe.  Worth the drive up for sure.

Looks like we'll all be playing 20 conference games. (a home and home with every other team). That's the most fair. But doesn't leave us many spots for more OOC home games.

NT's men's conference schedule is on the official site...

My reaction to seeing it, and I find it odd UNT hasn’t said anything on it yet…

at UTSA Dec 22 (WHAT WHY SO EARLY)
vs FAU Dec 29
vs FIU Dec 31
at WKU Jan 5 (smh)
at MTSU Jan 7
vs La Tech Jan 11 WTFFFF A WEDNESDAY ?!?!?
at FAU Jan 14
at FIU Jan 16  A MONDAY?!
vs Rice Jan 19
at UAB Jan 21 (Saturday game that should be on national TV)
vs UTSA Jan 26
vs UTEP Jan 28 
at Rice Feb 4

vs UAB Feb 9 (another Thursday home game against UAB 🙄🙄🙄🙄)
vs Charlotte Feb 11
at La Tech Feb 16 (UGHHHHH WHY NOT A SATURDAY)
at UTEP Feb 18
at Charlotte Feb 23
vs MTSU Mar 2
vs WKU Mar 4 (finally a good home game that could decide a lot of tournament implications)

Although I’m glad ODU/USM/Marshall left, basketball wise, it really messed up the schedule format.

Not a fan of 20 conference games. I like seeing the schools we rarely see to see how we fare. Unfortunate Ruston is not on a weekend, hoping to still do a weekend getaway at least once, even if it's just February 4th to Houston.

Will definitely head over to Arlington for that game as well.

Looks like Omaha visiting UNT on DEC 3rd

The official site now lists the Omaha game.....but on 12/6....not 12/3

Edited August 22, 2022 by SUMG

[NorthTexasSportsNetwork]

UTA game moved from 11/30 to 12/6, still in Arlington. 

[SUMG]

Disregard earlier post (above)....the official site now has the Omaha game back on 12/3....instead of 12/6.

We will still win.

Looks like another year of boring non-conference opponents at home. I know it's probably hard to get good schools to come play here because of our recent success but is Omaha the best we can do? Grant's teams will always be road tested for conference! Go Mean Green!

We had like 6-7 games, a few at home, fall through.

Nobody REALLY wants to play us because a slow tempo, good defensive team is hard to prepare for…

[Matt from A700]

Are teams backing out of actual commitments? Or just going back on their word. It'd be nice to receive some sort of payment if a school decides they want to back out of a game.

New rule: if a school backs out of a scheduled game with UNT, UNT gets to choose one player from their roster to swap with one player we also choose from our own roster.

That sounds really fair!

 I feel like also we're that tweener team too. Good enough to knock you off, but not ranked high enough to be a huge RPI win

I think that’s a pretty spot on description although the post Abou is pretty legit in any league.
