That's a pretty small line-up. I would imagine Frank plays a more traditional big

Re: First reaction: UMass to the MAC

There will be 4 leagues with teams from New England rated higher than us. Big East 6 A-10 8 Ivy. 11 American East 15 MAC 23.

Re: KAEO: John Calipari

He has also fired some long time UMass alum, who by all accounts did a good job, within the department. Overall moral of the athletic department has declined since he arrived.

Re: KAEO: John Calipari

I do agree with you about Bamford. What other AD in the country at the D1 level has hired and fired as many football and basketball coaches as him and still has a job.

Re: KAEO: John Calipari

Not sure if this is a bit or not... but I hate to break it to you, what Cal built was torn down a few years after he left.. may I introduce you to Steve Lappas.

Re: First reaction: UMass to the MAC

I think the expectation is that we have the best facilities, best investment, and the best NIL. We all hope that leads us to be very competitive every year.

Re: UMass transfer portal news - 2024

He found out he could transfer again.. asked for more money to stay and "things didn't work out". Not that hard to figure out.

Re: UMass transfer portal news - 2024

Hold up.. I thought good players only left MAC schools.. not A10 schools.. in all serious though the NCAA needs to do something. Players should get 1 free transfer. After that you sit out. Unless your coach bails or gets fired. Then you can go without sitting out.

Re: MAC Teams - Present and Future

You should also realize that the only reason the A10 got teams in the NIT is because other programs said no. Let's stop acting like the MAC is D-3. It's still good basketball

Re: MAC Teams - Present and Future

^^ None of that is actually true. A quality player from the ACC is different than a quality player from the A-10, which is different than a quality player from the MAC and so on... There are good players from the MAC and UMass will have the best facilities and most investment. So in reality is shoul...

Re: Coach in 2025-26?

Re: Coach in 2025-26?

I like what coach is doing here but why wouldn't he stay. With 1 NCAA appearance in the last 12 years he's not "too good" for the MAC
