Secret scrimmages are common practice for collegiate basketball teams, allowing coaches to evaluate player performance, test strategies, and identify areas for improvement in a controlled environment without the scrutiny of public attendance or official statistics. These matchups are typically played behind closed doors, with teams agreeing not to release scores or extensive details to the public or media.
