We have a schedule...just not a complete schedule

Per another season ticket holder the last two home dates are 11/11 at 7pm and 12/11 at a time TBD. Opponents still unknown.

I predict these dates will be filled with one of the following:

LSU Shreveport

UT Permian Basin

Texas A&M Central Texas

University of Nebraska Kearney

Wisconsin Eau Claire

Lol I'm still holding on hope for UNC Asheville (the opponent App State lost allowing us to get the Mountaineers on our schedule). Both of those dates would work, though 11/11 would just force them to extend a road trip to Ohio on 11/9.

That game on 12/11 in the middle of exam week would likely be a local NAIA/D2 team which at this point I'm fine with. 16 home games is one more than last year. And we had two non D-I opponents last season so that would also be progress.

I hear the Colorado School for the Mimes is looking for a game.

TCU and SMU have no interest playing us. They know we have squads on their level and wont risk the loss.

Give me UTA...close to each other and a rival game

Sometimes it's just hard to be a fan of UNT.  SMH.

Being close does not make them a rival for us, otherwise TWU would be our main women's rival... 

I think UTA ended the MBB series.  They were tired of being curb-stomped by us every year.

They weren't curb stomped by us, every year. The last time we played down there (Mac's last year)....the game was a nail biter. I think we won by four. 

I've looked up a lot of mid-major's schedules....especially ones that would make good opponents. And they all have schedules similar to ours. Play some name teams....at tourneys or on the road. And fill your home schedule with 2-3 schools that no one has ever even heard of.

Opening MBB opponent Evansville had an exhibition game against D-ll Tiffen last Saturday, winning 86-60. 

You can get an idea of their starters, minutes, and shooting percentages from the box score.  They were led with 22 points by a 6-7 Freshman from Italy (NBA Global Academy)....
