I was looking forward to seeing Mason play more. Oh, well. I don't understand why people think him transferring is not a surprise. Why would the staff and player spend time building a relationship and investing in each other for him to play a semester as a late addition freshman, then bolt? Whatever...

I like what we have returning. Add in Matt Cross, and we'll be in great shape. Obviously, though, we don't have a proven guy over 6'8''. I'm really pleased with our lack of activity in the portal, shows the staff has very strong relationships with our guys (though would really like to know more abou...

Feels weird to be rooting for UConn, but I have to see that minor league sports conglomerate on the other side, along with their gofer Greg Sankey, go down.

Let's go Huskies!

This tournament sucks.

Analytics and three point contest offense sucks.

Transfer portal sucks.

College football power in collegiate athletics sucks.

Happy Easter.

Think Brian Steele coached at Queens at one point. Probably has a connection to them. Also believe we're recruiting a guy from there now.

I'm assuming Thompson and Martin had an end of season conversation and Thompson didn't like what he was told. Makes sense but doesn't fully explain it (or maybe it does). He's a kid who Frank leaned on as a freshman and who Frank has always talked positively about. Keon made a big jump from freshma...

I can't remember exactly how he said it, but last off-season Frank said something to the effect of he wanted to get a back to the basket big man who he could run the offense through. I was and will continue to be skeptical of that plan for a team of UMass' resources. Having taken that path for 2023...

I hate this. We'll be fine on the court but not happy about this.

Article about Cohen with some quotes below. "About 30–40 colleges have contacted me, and the four majors are the ones recruiting me," Cohen said on Monday evening. "That’s where I am. I'm not (leaning towards a) geographic preference, but rather what sets me up best for after college...

How much did Dayton give their guy to stay last year? He's 2× better than Cohen.

Don't know if it's about $ for Cohen. We're not paying guys 500k/year, but what the heck did Dayton give Holmes to stay?!

^ Agree with everything you wrote except Davis. Don't know how much he improved this year, and even in the last game, he got beat on D and turned it over in limited minutes. He'd probably benefit from a change. I'll be rooting for him here or elsewhere. Very likeable, and seemingly hardworking kid. ...

No information here but just from watching things it doesn’t look like Cross is coming back Not sure why you think that, but it would be unfortunate. Matt would have a chance to make $, be pre-season A10 POY, play on a potentially very good team that he's familiar with, and boost his pro profile. O...

Agreed, overall this year was encouraging. The team played with a clear identity and won it's share of games, exceeding most expectations. It was also done with only a few guys who've had significant college experience. UMass has to make the jump and play in the tourney next year. Otherwise, current...

Yup, can't wait to hear from the wet blankets as to why UMass isn't actually good, how Frank's leaving, and how we'll be worse next year, as UMass has its best season in a decade and positioned itself for a double bye and a shot to win in Brooklyn.

DHS came to play!

Davis doesn't look dialed in defensively. I wouldn't play him 2nd half. Curry's done some good things, but has made some poor decisions, too.

That last offensive play was... not great.

Overall, I like our approach.
