    Score isn't officially kept:

    An official score and/or statistics for the practice scrimmage may not be kept. However, an institution may keep score and/or statistics for private use. The institution may not post the score and/or statistics in a newspaper, on the participating institutions' Web sites, conferences' Web sites or any other location. In addition, an institution may not provide the score and/or any statistics to any type of media outlet.

  8. The toughest NCAA hoops non-conference schedules

    5. North Texas

    Top matchups: at No. 15 Creighton (Nov. 9), NIT Season Tip-Off (Nov. 12-23), at St. Louis (Dec. 5), vs. Lehigh (Dec. 20)

    Analysis: Yes, North Texas. The biggest criticism of mid-majors every year is that they don't load up their schedules aggressively with high-RPI opponents. North Texas shouldn't have that issue thanks to a competitive NIT Season Tip-Off schedule that could square the Mean Green up with Kansas State and with an upset, against Virginia and Michigan/Pittsburgh. North Texas also plays a mid-major gauntlet schedule, starting at Creighton before traveling to a Saint Louis team flirting with the top-25, and hosting a C.J. McCollum-led Lehigh team.

  21. Katrina, Ike, now possibly Isaac

    The problem with moving the game to Shreveport is that it is the primary destination point up I-49 for Louisianans on the Storm Evacuation Route. Shreveport (which may also receive heavy flooding) could be filled next weekend with storm refugees as this storm is predicted to possibly blast along the La-Tex border. Many of them may not be cleared to return to coastal regions for several days.

    I bet Shreveport hotels are booked up for Thursday night with the Aggies in town.

  22. UTA to sell beer during College Park sporting events

    ARLINGTON -- When the University of Texas at Arlington volleyball team takes the court today at the new College Park Center, fans will be able to sip a beer while watching the Mavericks perform spikes attempting to get a kill against Savannah State.

    UTA is joining other universities and colleges across the country in selling alcohol at sporting events in an effort to bring in bigger crowds -- and boost the game day experience -- by allowing their fans to buy a "cold one."

    College Park, the $78 million arena, also is trying to position itself in a highly competitive sports/entertainment market that includes the Dallas Cowboys, Dallas Mavericks and several Division 1 programs.

    "We want people to come to our games," said Gregg Elkin, UTA's senior associate athletic director for external relations. "Beer sales at sporting events are a pretty common thing."

    Beer sales have created a buzz among students, said Jennifer Fox, UTA's student body president. Fox said a lot of students seem more excited about a new tailgating policy that took effect Thursday. Under those rules, tailgating is allowed on a university lot south of Mitchell Street on weekends.

    Fox, who doesn't drink alcohol, said she won't buy beer or tailgate. Still, she understands why it is important for many in the UTA community.

    "I do understand the game day experience and hope that both of these new policies will encourage more attendance and school spirit at games," she said.
