The season tip-off showcase will be part of the city of Denton's increased Halloween initiative. The event, which will feature a basketball court setup on Elm Street between Hickory and Oak Street in the Denton Square, will give Mean Green fans the opportunity to meet this year's teams and get a preview of what will be an exciting 2024-25 season of UNT basketball.
"One of our highest priorities is always going to be engaging with the Denton community and continuing to grow relationships here in our backyard," UNT Vice President and Director of Athletics Jared Mosley said. "We are excited to be able to bring both of our basketball programs to the square in downtown Denton and partner with the city for this truly unique event this fall that we believe will bring UNT basketball to even more potential fans."
The event is free and open to the public. More information including start time is still to come. TWU's NCAA Division II national runner-up basketball team as well as Denton ISD will also participate in the event.
