Both UT Arlington basketball programs began conference play this past week...and that's about the highlight. Both preseason favorites look beatable and it hard to say that either team can claim to be the favorites.
The men took to the road and played two teams that arguably make the second easiest travel pair in the conference, and looked terrible in the process. They started in Conway, South Carolina against Coastal Carolina, finished in Boone, North Carolina versus Appalachian State and came away with an 0-2 start to SBC play.
I can't begin to relay how disappointed, frustrated and utterly disgusted at what I saw this past week.

Should the Women's Game at Baylor be Considered Part of Homecoming Week?
I happened to be reading one of my more visited websites when I came across an article in the Shorthorn (for those not affiliated with UTA, it is the student newspaper) from a guy I have a great deal of respect for, Jesse DeTienne. He is as great a Maverick supporter as I and goes to far more games than I can. I've been a Maverick longer, but only cause I'm older.
He wrote a guest column questioning the fact that UTA is promoting the women's game at Baylor during homecoming week. Click on the link and read it. Go ahead. I'll wait.
From a cursory glance, I get what he is saying. All the festivities are on campus and do not require extensive travel, usually just getting to the University. But I think he is missing the forest for the trees.
