Re: UMass transfer portal news - 2024

I was hoping I wouldn't have to post this. It sucks. Verbal Commits @VerbalCommits Massachusetts C Josh Cohen has entered the transfer portal. http://verbalcommits.com/players/joshua-cohen I'm guessing some high major came after Josh and he couldn't pass up the offer. He already had high major offe...

Re: 2023-24 Season

I really don’t get St Joes getting that last spot over UMass Even if we were 1 and done, I would have gladly enjoyed a UMass NIT game St Bona was probably ahead of us too. NIT was probably looking for a closer regional matchup with Seton Hall. If we had won VCU game i would say we would have made i...

Re: 2023-24 Season

Taking a look at the season as a whole it was a success and it is good to see signs of building a program. We ended up finishing 9th in the NET rankings just one spot below George Mason so the 4 seed was a bit of good fortune (turned out to be bad fortune in my opinion due to the rust). There is 0 c...

Re: 2023-24 Season

Final Pairwise is calculated after all conference tournaments are completed. The winner of our game plays BC. Yes about the final pairwise. TBD about BC. It’s not a strict bracket so it depends on who else wins in the Quarterfinals. Also getting swept by Maine (combined with a lot of other unfavora...

Re: 2023-24 Season

Does anyone know if they continue to calculate pairwise numbers through tournaments or is it now set in stone?

Re: Game 31, 2023-24: A10 Tournament

Lets win 3 straight, but a great consolation would be to beat VCU and see Loyola lose its QF game which should put us cleary as #2 in NIT pecking order behind Richmond. If both us and Loyola lose in A10 semi's it will razor close on who gets an NIT bid despite our loss to Loyola durig the season as ...

Re: 2023-24 Season

Looks like we play at Providence who is currently 14th in pairwise while we are 15th. i would think we leapfrog them with a win but wonder if a subsequent loss to BC drops up back below Providence. I guess just win the game at Providence and go from there.

UMass CAN beat them. All we can hope for is a chance.
if VCU plays Davidson they will lose..

Re: First reaction: UMass to the MAC

You should read the response from the Toledo coach and Bamford’s comments putting the MAC on notice about how much we will spend on hoops. We are in the A10 for one more year. We are going to be the program that raises the bar and challenges other MAC schools to invest in hoops. The MAC has a year ...

Re: First reaction: UMass to the MAC

Definitely agree that UConn is a possibility to leave the Big East depending on how the ACC moves shake out. I see no way in which Richmond is ever in consideration for the MAC, they'd be a total culture misfit. It's a private liberal arts school with less than a quarter the enrollment of the small...

SteveMaz may be in the house if we win on Thursday.. I literally had a dream a few weeks back that we lost to UConn at the buzzer to go to elite 8
