UNT is coming off a win in the pre-season Texas Cup competition, defeating Texas Tech in the quarterfinals, a tough Baylor team in the semis, and then St. Edward’s in the final 40-36.

Indiana slammed Purdue 92-0, showcasing once again their experienced and athletic backline and ability to put the boot on the neck and keep it there. Meanwhile, Michigan had to work for it to beat Michigan State 22-14.
