UNT @ St Louis

[NT03]

vs the Billikens on December 5th

[bstnsportsfan3]

putting a good schedule together against high quality opponents....unfortunally all these games are on the road. But none the less we should be well tested come sunbelt time.

[sparkmank]

Goooood scheduling!!

[Harry]

Hopefully we will get some return games. Benford sure is keeping his word about upgrading the schedule.

Going into conference we should have a pretty good RPI

It would be interesting to compare our preseason Opponent RPI from last year to this year.

Hopefully the schedule will come out before our first game!

Great news!

Noteworthy is SLU will be without HC Rick Majerus due to heart issues this season

That's what I was thinking. He really makes it a chore to beat this teams - they muddy it up and make you chuck it from outside. Great coach.

Agreed. Never seen it drag on this long. Nice quality opponents though. Seems to have a Midwest flavor to it, which I guess makes sense all things considered.

Have we heard about any good home games for the season? I am hearing nothing...

[GangGreen]

I bet all those St. Louie Jews figured a way to get this scheduled.

Is the Mean Green in a home game? Then it is a good game.

"Try 20+ point lines over North Texas"

[MDH]

I promise their coach isn't overlooking us like that.

[sparkmank]

Gah lee they have no idea what's gonna hit them

At least some of them started coming to their senses by page 4...

I thought there were some homers on this board, but "taking Kansas and Texas A&M to the woodshead", and "20+ point lines over North Texas". LOL!

Will be fun to return to this site on the evening of December 5th.

Damn -- look at their non conference schedule:

With Kansas, A&M, Washington, New Mexico, Valpo and North Texas

That seems pretty tough to me.

Yes, I don't really know what they are complaining about. Their conference RPI is probably pretty good too. The trouble with SLU is, they are going to have trouble finding RPI teams higher than them.

I hope you are only making the point that we might be tougher than they expect us to be, and you're not making a prediction that we will in anyway control the game. This is going to be one of, if not the, toughest game on our schedule including creighton and preseason NIT. SLU was supposed to be the mid major leader last year, and I don't think they've lost too much from last year.

St Louis comes in #9 in Lindy's preseason poll. Creighton is #8. This is in nation , not some mid major poll

If we can pull at least one of these of on the road that would be HUGE. RPI boosters for sure.

Going to be a great season for the Mean green and the Mean green Nation. Let's not, however, get too full of ourselves here...this is looking like a pretty tough early season schedule, which should, of course, set UNT up well for the Conference run and title shot, but like is mentioned about...St. Louis is looking to be in the NATION'S Top ten in early polls. Big test for the Mean green, but one I am looking forward to watching...Mean Green is definitely going to open some eyes this season......but, beating national top ten teams is still going to be a challenge.

Can happen...no doubt about it...and that's what I'll be looking forward to, but not going to predict winning 'em all......just the majority and another 20+ win season...and the tournament crown...and an NCAA win...and.....but, let's not get too ahead of ourselves here...YET!

Ranked #5 in SI Mid Major just behind Creighton at #4. SLU's conference-mates VCU and Bulter are #3 and #7 respectively.
