The University of Texas at Arlington Head Men's Basketball Coach Eddie McCarter will welcome Mountain West Conference foe New Mexico to Texas Hall for the first time in history and another trip down I-35 to face NCAA Tournament participant Texas highlights the 2004-05 schedule, it was released Friday.
"I think we have another challenging schedule," said McCarter. "We've lost four starters and have four true freshmen coming this season. The schedule will help us find out who can make a contribution and prepare us for the conference schedule."
UTA plays a 14-game home schedule beginning Nov. 20 against Texas-Permian Basin at Texas Hall.
The UTA non-conference road schedule includes New Mexico State (Nov. 24), Wyoming (Nov 27), TCU (Dec. 2), Texas (Dec. 15) and South Florida (Dec. 29).
The 50th meeting between UTA and Texas Wesleyan will be Nov. 30 at Texas Hall. The Mavericks welcome the San Diego Toreros on Dec. 4, second-year program Texas-Tyler on Dec. 22, New Mexico Jan. 3 and St. Edward's on Feb. 14.
UTA opens SLC play Jan. 6 at Nicholls State. The conference home opener is Jan. 13 against Northwestern State.
UTA returns one starter - junior forward Steven Thomas - off last year's 17-12 squad. The Mavericks shared the Southland Conference regular-season championship with Texas-San Antonio and Southeastern Louisiana with an 11-5 league mark.
