Re: UMass transfer portal news - 2024

Hopefully the fact that the football conferences flamed out early shows the committee that those teams are way over-rated and should not be in because they are from a big conference. Unfortunately, the fix is in for those conferences because that's where the money and power are centralized.

Re: Coach in 2025-26?

Yeah, if Kentucky can come up with his buyout: $33,000,000, then maybe that could happen.

Re: UMass transfer portal news - 2024

You can salary cap NIL or whatever but that won't change the money. The "Wizard of Westwood", John Wooden's UCLA teams had the best teams money could buy in the 60'sand 70's. School's with big donors will pay their kids somehow, someway. The key is stopping the transfer merry-go-round, and...

Re: MAC Teams - Present and Future

Insider, in regards to your comment "Umass will have the best facilities and most investment in the MAC". Having a million dollar house in a neighborhood made up of $400K houses is never a good investment. Also would you be upset having a team that is talented enough to be in the NIT ? Th...

Re: Game 31, 2023-24: VCU (A10 Quarters, 3/14)

Took the kids out of school to the game. Poor parenting on my part but priorities called. Great seats. At times team played really well and my 6 yr old was driving the VCU fans near us batty which earned him extra snacks. Some VCU fans were quite classless and trashy compared to other A10 schools b...

Re: 2024 Recruiting

We have Mason in the fold and Damjanac coming. If Cohen stays another year (PLEEEAAASSSEEE!!!) we will have a lot of size.

Re: First reaction: UMass to the MAC

The trick to getting those games is that you have to get good enough that you don't hurt their NET or RPI. Of course, how do you get good enough, in the various ranking systems, without getting those games?

Re: First reaction: UMass to the MAC

This will be hard to watch. as fans we will adjust to the level of play but wow i was totally underwhelmed. All i can say is the football team better make strides right out of the ga...

Re: First reaction: UMass to the MAC

Maybe we can turn into the Gonzaga of the MAC. That was a nothing conference since Bill Russell left until Few and his boys got serious.

Re: First reaction: UMass to the MAC

This could really really really suck... Somehow I fail to see how a UMass vs Akron rivalry could even scratch the surface of Mass vs Temple. This appears to really blow. BUT, if we can get to the big dance four times per decade this way, people will adjust to it. AND... if we are regularly getting ...

Re: Game 27, 2023-24: St. Bonaventure (2/24)

Okay coach. Tell us how many mistakes you're going to tolerate before replacing the mistake prone player who is costing your team the game. For example missing open shots is not a mistake I would want the Coach to tolerate neither is missing defensive assigments or making dumb fouls. Those things c...

Re: Game 27, 2023-24: St. Bonaventure (2/24)

Bona played very physical and I think wore us down. Fatigue plays a part in missed shots & FTs. Guys were dragging a bit, you could see it And that is why it was important to get Mason some playing time so he would be ready for a game like this. He plays very tentatively because he is on a shor...

63% from the FT line didn't help (again!!)
