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.

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

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.

I always thought the UTA game was a good idea for both programs.  not only would it be attractive to fans and alumni from both schools in the area, when you factor in the rankings its almost a no brainer.  UTA finished 129 in NET, UNT 79 last season, in Kenpom UTA is currently at 159 and UNT is sitting at 80.  A close game between these schools would benefit both schools in the rankings.

I promise I’ll be at every home game, but this might be the worst non-conference schedule I’ve seen.  Oregon State ?  They went 13-19 (?) last season.  

Oregon State made the Elite 8 in the last five years.

Shhh, if they didn’t make AT LEAST the Sweet 16 last year they are NOT worthy to step on the hallowed Super Pit floor

Why is it so hard to get a decent team to The Pit? I love UNT basketball but c’mon, Texas Wesleyan is an embarrassment. Think there are DFW high school teams that can beat Texas Wesleyan. Hard to motivate myself for a 2 hour round trip drive for that matchup.

      facts. my bad. I was just doing a quick scan down the ESPN schedule and forgot about the NIT

      McNeese State (11/18/24)

      @Censored by Laurie is correct. McNeese St is 0-2 in D1 games this year but those are a 7 point loss to South Dakota State and an 8 point loss to Alabama. They finished 56th in NET last year so if they run their conference again, this will likely end up a Quad 1 win. They just need to finish top 75 with it being a road game. Exciting times.

      Minnesota (11/13/24)

      Meanwhile we finished higher than Minnesota in NET last year. Actually they haven't finished higher than us since 2020. Was this post on Twitter?

      Minnesota (11/13/24)

      Mike Mitchell Jr. was out. He's a starter and Minnesota could've really used his shooting. Not as familiar with the other players but they're reserves. This game was a big data point for the Massie over Newell position!

      Minnesota (11/13/24)

      Awesome win! The only bad part was the commentary from the TV announcers. They confused Newell and Lorient for an extended period of time, stated that Atin Wright originally played at Washington State, and clearly barely knew anything about our program. The play by play announcer gave major 'and boom goes the dynamite' vibes. Some thoughts on the game: - The defense was stellar as we've all come to expect. Delo and Massie were great playing multiple matchups. - Minnesota came out and blitzed our PnRs. We really struggled with the pressure. Eventually we started slipping screens and setting brush screens to counteract it. - Trey Edmonds in the second half forced us to play big. He has a grown man body. Hodge settled on a Lorient/Sissoko combination to match Garcia/Edmonds. - An extended run with a Floyd/Walker/Massie/Lorient/Sissoko lineup including to close the game aside from situational subs. Before the season I would've been shocked that this lineup would close a win on the road against a Big Ten school because of the offense. The spacing was predictably an adventure. Massie wasn't efficient but he kind of made the lineup 'work'. He shows handling, passing, and court awareness in the half court. Feels like he could turn into a secondary ball handler in lineups. - Atin Wright had a meh game by his standards, but still really excited about him this season. He's a bit of a showman and I love it. After getting fouled in transition, he slapped the ball away from the defender and stared at him. On Lorient's massive jam at the end of the game, you can see him standing over Edmonds (who was on the ground). GMG
