Re: The Massachusetts Collective - NIL initiative
A tough NIL competitor, at least until MAC time: https://www.a10talk.com/2024/03/questions-for-dayton-in-the-offseason/ NIL section snippet: "It was reported this season that Dayton’s roster has a $1 million compensation total among the roster, with DaRon Holmes understandably getting the most ...

Re: ACC
just noticed this post from just before the tourney started, and imagine many agreed with you then. But today, the ACC has 4 in the sweet 16, and only 1 team they sent lost so far, although Virginia looked awful and probably shouldn't have made it (obviously just squeaked in to the first 4). The ACC...

Re: 2024 NCAA Tournament Discussion
great win for Colorado over Florida today. In this era of so much movement, surprising to recognize 5 of Colorado's players (of the 8 that played, and 4 starters) were there when UMass beat them in Myrtle Beach last season.

Re: 2024 NCAA Tournament Discussion
Providence didn't help your argument, losing last night's home game to ACC's 11th place BC.

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. the NCAA did what you wanted, but ...

Re: How former UMass players have fared after entering the portal
not a former player, but recent and former coach Matt McCall is reportedly joining Chris Mack on Vanderbilt's staff.

Re: A10 Tourney 2024
sounds like many, like me, rooted for the Dukes. VCU and Dayton have great programs, but I'm tired of them. Also, Keith Dambrot is a coach I like. The A10 has almost uniformly excellent coaches, but too many complainers. Some of these guys have coached for 20 years and in their minds (based on what ...

Re: 2024-25 Season
I also think Davis progressed this season, not dramatically as, say, Diggins since last year, but noticeably. He likely has a clear picture of how to improve and will make it happen. Amid all the talk of rust from the layoff, no one mentioned that Davis and Keon didn't have just an 8-day layoff, the...

Re: A10 Tourney 2024
tournament, like the regular season, seeing many very close games. Today SLU edged URI by 3, La Salle won by 1 and Fordham won in OT. Is there a record for most close games? UMass was 8 out of 18 close ones, more if you don't just go by final score.

Re: A10 Standing/Seeding Changes Discussion
I think I’d rather play VCU than Davidson, after seeing how they sliced us up with back door cuts and we were never able to make adjustments. It's either VCU or a team playing its third game in 3 days, which is very hard. Davidson has their top guy injured, so their depth (already questionable) isn...

Re: A10 Standing/Seeding Changes Discussion
On behalf of the naysayers, even though I don't think I'm one, as of a few days ago we needed the following to happen to get a double bye: --UMass needed 3 wins in a row, something that wasn't done all year and had to include 2 roads games, also something not done all year. The previous chance for 2...

Re: A10 Standing/Seeding Changes Discussion
also an upset of Dayton so 2 A10 teams get into the NCAAT and something to cause the NIT committee to take 2 from the A10 in a scenario where UMass is certainly 4th best. Maybe with VCU missing 2 players as they did last night and bad losses for SBU starting with 1 tonight. Dayton, Richmond and Loyo...

Re: A10 Standing/Seeding Changes Discussion
Duquesne beat VCU, who played without their leader Shulga who was hurt. And Billups, not one of their top guys but did add depth, got hurt during the game. I don't see them winning at Dayton Friday, although they beat Dayton last time. And Dayton has been beatable lately.

Re: Game 30, 2023-24: Fordham (3/6)
Another game with a lot (potentially) on the line. Win and there's still a chance of a double-bye with a 4th-place finish. Lose and there's a chance of dropping to 8th, with no real advantage of single bye, because 8th means playing another team with a bye. Fordham can be a dangerous team. Away from...

Re: A10 Standing/Seeding Changes Discussion
We locked up a bye and avoided the pillow fight last night as one more loss by either Fordham or GMU clinches it and they play each other. I think there's still a crazy scenario that we fall into Tuesday territory, according to this... https://twitter.com/SBUnfurled/status/1763232100474400996 @limi...
