A highly reliable inside source told me the North Texas mens basketball team was scrimaging Oklahoma at the Super Pit while we were tailgating for the Troy game. The scrimage was closed to the public and media, and the doors were locked. I personally believe this rumor, because I saw the Red Carpet Traval bus with Oklahoma plates parked along side the arena. Red Carpet Travel is the same company OU uses for their annual trip to Dallas for the Texas OU game. Does anyone have more information on this scrimage? Who won?

I believe we scrimmaged OU the year before last as well. Generally they are not open to the public. I think they are also set up in a half court setting. It's not 5 on 5 up and down the court , but a half court game where teams can work on their set plays.

They had the "UNT Preview" going on at the pit as well.

That actually took place in the Student Union. I thought it was in the Super Pit too, but my girlfriend who was working it informed me otherwise.

The preview took place at the pit, I was there. Court was ready to go underneath the stage that had been set up. As for the scrimmage, I heard from a BBall player at the game that we had indeed won the half-court, make-it-take-it, shirts vs. skins match.

I was told it was going to be set up as a real scrimmage...

And if anyone cares... we won by about 20 points.

Seriously?

I hope this is not another mock post, and even though it's just a friendly scrimmage, if that actually happened I am even more excited about basketball season this year.

Remember that moxey the football team used to have, that calm confidence that led them to always "find a way"?

It is really cool to see this bball team appear to have it. And it looks like the next two years will bring even better things.

For those who cannot believe such, yes OU did scrimmage our basketball team. Prior to the scrimmage, the NT Preview took place at the Colisuem. The preview ended at 12:30 as far as the portion of it at that location and at 2pm, OU arrived. Perhaps the coach from OU standing on the corner of NTB and Highland Street was a clue as he waited for Dickies BBQ to deliver their catering.

The great thing about B-Ball is no matter what conference you are in, you have an equal shot at the big dance. You just have to thrive and survive!

They must have had two different sessions of it...I saw the preview in the Union with my own eyes. :ph34r:

It's cool that OU came down to scrimmage us...and even cooler that we apparently beat them. Go Mean Green!

Good win for UNT, but OU is not the OU of the past. A lot of young guys and just not the same without the Griffin's in the middle. Still a good PRESEASON milestone for the Eagles! What made it even better, NT held Cam Clark to 8 points. 4 in the scrimmage and 4 in half court situations.

Did we really win by about 20, and who performed well for us?

      It's a real question to ponder, but what is it gonna take? I've been told that it would take us being a winner. Then, it was we need to make a postseason tournament. No, we need to have wins in the NCAA Tournament or NIT. We have done all of this. The only times I ever see anyone in Denton show up big time for a game in the Super Pit is for games against power teams from the region (Tech, SMU, OSU, etc...) Otherwise, nobody goes. So they basically go to watch the other team play, whether to see the other team win or get beat. Who is making it so cool for the students and the local citizenry to be apathetic or hate our sports teams STILL in 2025?? I mean, I get that when we were in the SLC, Big West, the SBC, or even CUSA 3.0, people could look down on the situation we were in. But the American is the BEST conference situation we have ever been in for the current NCAA Basketball environment--brand names that have made big runs in the tournament over the years like Memphis, Wichita State, Temple, Tulsa, Charlotte, UAB, and even, now, Florida Atlantic with their recent Final Four run. And we have in-state games still with Rice and UTSA. And all of that equals being THRILLED to have over 4000 in attendance... I'll never understand. And it will not make a lick of sense to me when we see about 500 people in FW for the AAC conference tournament, either. All it does is reinforce to the local media that we are some commuter school that even our alumni and students don't care about. And maybe, in the end, that's the reality that will never change, either.

      Look who is #12 on this list...

      Kinda interesting to see what the Power Conferences' media is saying about Ross. Mid- and low-major college basketball coaches ready for power conference jobs - ESPN
