ARLINGTON – The UT Arlington men's basketball team has added Dallas Christian College to its non-conference schedule, and that game will be played at the College Park Center this Thursday, Dec. 17, at 6 p.m.
Â
Due to the quick turnaround time, in addition to staffing and infrastructure conflicts due to the university's virtual commencement also on Thursday night, the following will take place:
Â
UTA and Dallas Christian have never met before on the hardwood. The Crusaders have already played 11 games this year, but eight of those have been classified as exhibitions due to the opponents being Division-I or NAIA members. DCC has played D-I teams Sam Houston State, McNeese State and Tarleton State, and are scheduled to face Abilene Christian and UTRGV after the holiday break.
Â
DCC is a member of the National Christian College Athletic Association (NCCAA) and is located in Farmers Branch.
Â
Earlier this month, UTA and Oral Roberts both announced that they had agreed to delay the start of their home-and-home series by a year to 2021-22; the two teams were scheduled to play in Tulsa this Saturday, Dec. 19.
Â
The game between UTA and DCC will be the second-to-last non-conference matchup of the season for UTA. The Mavericks are slated to round out the 2020 calendar year against Howard Payne at the College Park Center on Tuesday, Dec. 22, at 6 p.m. Fans will be permitted at that game, and all scheduled future Mav home games this season.
