Schedule Finalized

not bad with the exception of Texas A&I, but that is a good fill game for Christmas Break.

CMJ · September 6, 2007

See yall at the SuperPit for Cameron! Let's tip it off.

SUMG · September 6, 2007

I like the schedule.....but I'm not a fan of day games. (the 2 p.m. tipoffs).

And, if they're going to have the Cameron game, after our Navy football game.....they ought to move the b-ball game back to 7:30. Because, with Dodge Ball our football games are going to last longer......and folks might have to rush straight from the football game to the b-ball game....because I can easily see the football game going to 6:30 or later.

Wait... you're worried about people leaving a home football game against Navy to see the basketball team play Cameron?

:unsure:

I never said, that folks would leave the football game early. I just said, they might want to consider giving more time between the events. And yes, I do hope as many folks as possible will go to BOTH GAMES.

Yeah, because we'll probably be having some sort of banner raising ceremony for last year's team.

Better than last year's schedule, but hardly stellar with home games against Cameron, Hartford, Centenary, and Texas A&M International. The one home against Oklahoma State is the only thing that saves this OC schedule from being as bad as last years. Not to say that most teams are not using the same scheduling philosophy which is to get as weak a home schedule as possible with 1 or 2 games against teams that are better or about equal. NT should be at 5-3 and maybe 6-2 oc with this schedule.

I do take exception to the write up which states that last year was the best season ever for NT basketball. No way. There were 11 loses that went with those 23 victories and only finishing 5th seed in the conference does not support a best season ever even at NT. One of the better seasons for sure, but does not compare with Blakeley's 22-4 season or Spika's 18-10 in the best conference in BB at the time.

TAMU--International is not the school that used to be called Texas A & I. Texas A & I is TAMU-Kingsville.

TAMU-I is located in Laredo.

I do agree with this wholeheartdely. The 22-4 season when we were ranked(but got hosed by the NCAA and NIT) was our best team of all time. And I wasn't even around yet. :lol:

What a tease!!!! I damn near jumped out of my seat when I saw Hartford on the schedule until I realized it was a home game!!! Does anyone have any information on that game as to whether or not its a home and home (or possibly a typo and its actually a road game :thumbsup: )? It'd be nice to be able to see a game.

NCMeanGreen · September 6, 2007

Man...finally! Not bad, I just wish they would schedule some Mid-Atlantic games more often. I REALLY enjoyed going to that Charlotte game last year. It was quite an experience for me, and I really enjoyed watching the team play.

Yeah!!! Finally!!!

I just checked the Hartford site (hoping UNT got it wrong...they didn't) but they have a kid from Fort Worth...David Bookman, a 6'7" forward who went to Southwest H.S...could be a large Hartford contingent in attendance.

CMJ · September 6, 2007

I'll be back for Cameron and Oklahoma State(with a little football with Navy thrown in). Looking forward to seeing a game in the SuperPit again...it's been a long time.

Boy, they sure do have a tough schedule...especially the OOC schedule.

Nova, Louisville, BYU, Virginia and UNT on the road...thats pretty tough. I live really close to Quinnipiac so I will be there Nov. 11th to do some scouting.

- The Cameron game really should be moved back, especially if there's a banner-raising ceremony. Those that supported the team throughout the season and in New Orleans will still be at the Navy game.

- I hate that the UTA game is the Wednesday before Thanksgiving. Whatever student turnout there could have been between Talons, SGA, RHA, Pit Crew, etc. is killed. Most students start to head home Tuesday, and the dorms close Wednesday evening.

There will be a banner raising.

jimmyjames_99 · September 10, 2007

If the length of the SMU game is any indication, its going to be close whether the Navy game is over yet...

CMJ · September 10, 2007

Navy's offense relies heavily on the run, so if they're successful the clock will be moving. Either way - I'll leave the game early if I have to. Not missing a banner raising.

NT03 · September 10, 2007

I think it should be a no brainer just to move back the basketball game to 8pm. Both teams deserve our full support.

A lot of fans will be in the Metroplex during the Thanksgiving holidays. Hopefully some will head to UTA for the game Wednesday evening.

Yeah, hopefully so. I was in town last year for Thanksgiving and REALLY enjoyed the Tulsa game. I like the regional opponents, just wish we would play some in the Mid-Atlantic as well!
