Re: 2023-24 Season

Twelve turnovers committed by Duquesne or it could be worse. 50% FG and 5-12 from 3 for DUQ compared to 37% and 2-7 from 3 for UMass, DUQ a +12 in rebounding, 23-11. Kulesza (7 points), Williams (6) and Hyduke (5) are the leaders so far.

Re: A10 Standing/Seeding Changes Discussion

Fun with tiebreakers: You may have seen that as of today, there are five sets of tied teams. Four of those sets only played each other once, and will play only once, making this much easier compared to some past seasons. Right now TODAY: Duquesne & St. Bonaventure both 9-8. Duquesne swept both g...

Re: Game 28, 2023-24: at GW (2/27)

Largest margin of victory all-time at GW. Previous was +11, 86-75 on 2/4/2012.

There have been many years when these two played only once in the regular season. However, this is the first time UMass swept a regular-season series from GW since 2000-2001.

Re: Game 22, 2023-24: at St. Bonaventure (2/7)

In the last 6:45, after a layup by Cross put UMass up 69-65, UMass was 1 for its last 9 from the floor -- Diggins' dunk at 4:54 -- and missed all of its last 8 shots. The Minutemen also missed their first 3 free throws after that point, before Cross made 2 at 2:26. Bona finished the game on a 14-4 r...

Re: Game 20, 2023-24: at Saint Louis (1/27)

First true road win of the season after an 0-4 start.

Has anyone else noticed that all of UMass' wins (except one, vs. West Virginia) have come by double digits? On average, they're winning by just under 17 points.

Re: Game 8, 2023-24: vs West Virginia (Springfield, 12/16)

I can remember Calipari addressing the notion that Mullins as constructed wasn't big enough, that it should have been built for 14-15K. His answer was, "You don't want it too big. That way, it won't look as empty when the bad times come."

Re: How former UMass players have fared after entering the portal

Watched a little of that St. Johns/Butler game and I saw Jalen Thomas was playing for Butler. The same Jalen Thomas who almost came here? Wasn't that like 10 yrs ago? It may feel like that long ago but it was *only* 2019. That is the same Jalen Thomas btw. Played three years at Georgia State and no...

Well, it took me longer than expected to string it together and publish, but I now have a November 1991 Sienna @ UMass at The Cage game posted on YouTube. It's old VHS quality and I'm kind of surprised that YouTube allowed it to go through their copyright filter "without the expressed written ...

Re: Game 10, 2023-24: vs Portland (DHC, 12/22)

Who else saw THIS? I'm watching the game now and with just over 12 minutes left, right after two made free throws by Portland, Hankins-Sanford grabs the loose ball on the second make. He's straddling the end line, one foot out of bounds, doesn't seem sure if he's the inbounder, and throws it in the ...

Don't want to take up too much of Mike's hard-earned bandwidth with this, but I'm looking forward to wielding the PA microphone again for both games Saturday. Just like old times. Thanks to the Hall of Fame for extending the invitation, for the second straight year. Still, I don't mind telling you t...

Re: Most Game Winning Shots in UMass History

Will Herndon in Albany against Siena in the NIT, OT game winner but by no means was it a buzzer beater. He scored the only 2 points scored in OT. The buzzer beater was a Tony Barbee 3 to send the game to OT and the NIT Final Four. UMass had gotten the ball over half court and called a timeout with ...
