Re: UMass transfer portal news - 2024

I won’t besmirch anyone trying to make more money or better their situations. If it’s a money play more than anything that’s fine. I think though it’s fair to say it can also dull one’s fandom when it seems more transactional in nature. One change I would like to see is instead of those dumb commitm...

Re: UMass transfer portal news - 2024

Haven’t posted a ton on this, but so far the portal for us has been surprising but not worse case (knock on wood). Cohen could do one thing relatively really well - score. And even that had limitations — he didn’t have great hands, his actual posting up for entry passes wasn’t always effective, and ...

Re: UMass transfer portal news - 2024

Hard to fall in love with a team these days. Happy I’ve picked up other hobbies.

Happy kids can do what they want, but man my interest in college sports is dwindling by the minute.

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

Disappointing end. Just too much to come back from and the defensive rebounding was a real issue as the game wore on. Nice effort in that second half - they could have folded but they didn’t. Very likeable team that outperformed what I was expecting and didn’t go into a tailspin down the stretch lik...

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

Our perimeter play is killing us. All year long I’ve been harping on our lack of shooting and down the stretch on our offense in general. We’ve been able to win despite that when we defend and don’t turn the ball over. I think we let our offensive struggles affect our defensive effort in this one. D...

Re: Game 30, 2023-24: Fordham (3/6)

Just win I guess. With my blood pressure, I have to either watch my diet or not watch UMass.

Don’t really have much to say except for the obvious so I won’t say anything.

Rest up and root for Dayton on Friday.

Re: Game 30, 2023-24: Fordham (3/6)

Rough start defensively but got better. Rough start offensively didn’t get much better. Yes we are short two dudes, including our starting point guard, but we are on pace to not break 70 points for the 4th time in our last 6 games. Part of that is pace probably and a couple of them were in double di...

Re: Game 29, 2023-24: at Davidson (3/2)

Yeah I’m not saying that’s why we won the game or anything like that. I’m just saying I think we got lucky on that call.

I saw it a half dozen times too. Seemed like he was in his shooting motion when he got fouled.

Re: Game 29, 2023-24: at Davidson (3/2)

Felt like we stole that one. And that foul on Thompson should have been a shooting foul. Cross carried us offensively with some help from DHS on the glass and Diggins from 3. Jayden made a ton of little things that were big plays. Rest of the guys were really ineffective. Cohen was a mess out there....

Welp this is about a bad a start to the second half on defense as you can have.

Re: Game 29, 2023-24: at Davidson (3/2)

Meh of a half. Both times we built 8 point leads, we stopped playing. First time it was turnovers, bad transition D. Second time they give up a 4 point play. Neither team can shoot worth shit. Backdoor cuts an issue when we are in the halfcourt on defense. And credit Davidson defensively— we are dis...

Talk about a plot twist that would surprise even M Night Shimalayan: this whole time, Stevemaz has actually the one on earth while the rest of us have apparently been living on some other planet.

Re: First reaction: UMass to the MAC

Rankings: A10 is a one bid league. I don’t care about NET garbage or anything else. It’s Dayton and the dwarfs. Attendance: our attendance stinks in the A10. Nobody cares about the teams we’re already playing. National exposure: all MAC games are on TV Recruiting: we’ve been playing the same teams ...
