Crews prepare for Texas basketball game

Crews installed a basketball court inside Cowboys Stadium on Wednesday.

The University of Texas and University of North Carolina men's basketball teams will square off in the stadium on Saturday. The game marks the first time a basketball game will be played in the new Arlington facility.

The game will be a good trial run for stadium operators as they prepare to host the 2010 NBA All-Star game in February.

In addition to the court, a 15-foot-by-25-foot scoreboard will be placed under the center-hung video board.  Once the game is over, the floor will be dismantled and refinished for the All-Star game.

The Texas Longhorns come into the game ranked second, and defending champion North Carolina is ranked 10th in the country.
