5 reasons to get excited for the Mavericks’ 2020-21 season opener

The men’s basketball team will officially tip off its season against Oklahoma State University at 3 p.m. Wednesday at College Park Center.

Here are five things to keep an eye on before the Mavericks take on the Cowboys to open the 2020-21 season.

1. UTA’s season opener will be nationally televised

The Mavericks’ matchup against Oklahoma State will be broadcast on ESPN. The game was originally set to be televised on ESPN2, but a scheduling change was announced Tuesday. It will be the second consecutive nationally televised regular season game for the Mavericks, as last season’s home matchup against Texas State University aired on ESPN2.
