Are they like a John Melvin type school?

Are they like a John Melvin type school?

No, UT Dallas is actually a real university that recently moved up to D2 from D3.

Are they like a John Melvin type school?

UT-D actually has VERY good academics, though best if you target what you’re going for. Good business school. Good engineering program.

So nothing like JMU-Crowley.

I didn’t realize they just moved from D3 to D2. So I guess now they do actual athletic scholarships.

Should be a barn burner

[Jacob81]

I guess this is the game thread.

We suck

[60swerethebest]

Refs helping us.

UT Dallas shoots better, moves without the ball better, plays under control better, and block out better than the Cajuns. Cajuns will win eventually on athleticism alone. Maybe.

iirc, UT-D started as a graduate school for employees of Texas Instruments. Was really good for Business and engineering. They got too big and TI couldn't handle the growth so they donated the school to the UT system. Still shouldn't be losing to them

[Hudsheen#Fired]

Only up by 2 against a D3 call up lmao

[BigSaucey]

This may be an extreme take, but I don’t think we are good…

[Jeaux]

Blow out now. Took a while to get going. Gonna lose a lot of game if they start every game like this. Mcneese gonna blow us out. You know Prien Lake Joe gonna have a career night.

[Jacob81]

Defense has tightened up. Leading to lay ups. UT shooting went cold as well. May not have legs left. It is their first game.

[RaginScotsman]

Crowd looks a bit light. No one go up for UT Dallas?
