It is home, sweet, home for the UT Arlington men's basketball team.

A game with NCAA Tournament participant North Texas highlights a 17-game home schedule at Texas Hall during the 2007-08 season, it was released Thursday.

"I am excited about this year's home schedule," said UT Arlington Men's Basketball Coach Scott Cross. "We played a difficult schedule last season in order to toughen up our guys and provide an opportunity where we could have a number of non-conference games at Texas Hall this season.

"We have the opportunity to put together a season this program has not seen in a long time and we are excited about the possibilities."
