Oklahoma Scrimaged Unt?

[Side Show Joe]

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?

Was it Brett Vito?

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

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.

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.

Why would it not be open to the public? Who won?

Nobody won. NT got up 15-14 and then a fight broke out over whether OU had called win by two or not.

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.

This is a very funny post.

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

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

Explaining the big smile on Johnny's face at the football game.

Disregard.

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.

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?

Yes, and I don't know.
