The ESPN college blog has been running a feature on out of conference schedules for all the college basketball teams. It's pretty cool if you follow a team in a bigger conference because you can quickly see who the other teams in the conference are playing. They didn't do one for the Sun Belt but they did include North Texas in the "others" category. It's nice to see North Texas getting mentioned on the blog. And it's also nice to have a really good schedule.

NORTH TEXAS

Toughest: at Creighton (Nov. 9), NIT Season Tip-Off (Nov. 12-23), at Saint Louis (Dec. 5)

Next-toughest: Lehigh (Dec. 20)

The rest: Cameron (Nov. 16), Texas-Arlington (Nov. 28), Louisiana-Lafayette (Dec. 1), Jackson State (Dec. 8), Southeastern Louisiana (Dec. 16)

Toughness scale (1-10): 9 -- Tony Mitchell could lead the Mean Green to a regional round upset of Kansas State in the NIT Season Tip-Off. And if that happens, a matchup with Virginia at MSG could happen, with Michigan or Pitt waiting in the wings. Even if the program stumbles, however, road trips to Creighton and SLU, a pair of top-25 squads, will boost its nonconference schedule in Tony Benford’s first season as head coach. C.J. McCollum and Lehigh come to Denton five days before Christmas for a meaningful mid-major matchup. No complaints for this slate.
