Thought we had to hit 3's to have any chance but TM is proving me wrong!

Keon, please stop shooting bricks, you are killing any offense.

They took at a lot of quick, bad threes for most of that first half and Virginia was getting pretty much whatever they wanted on offense. UMass stopped taking those bad shots — Keon made a great pass to CP for a good, rhythm three and Tre attacked the hoop — and their defense settled down a bit and boom right back in the game.

Will be surprised if they manage to pull this one out — I just think VA is too good and disciplined — but they’ve already shown me something in how they react when they get punched in the face.

The game isn't over but holding their own against a top 10 team shows me a lot.

Ya, I expect UVA will win this by 12 or so but I love the way this UMass team plays. They will almost certainly get better as they play better competition and will be a tough team to play by the end of the conference schedule.

Probably jacked up at the start which may have caused the early misses. I think they see they can compete and I think 2nd half they play their game.
I think they're in this to the end

Feed Tre 'till they stop him, and Carl & TJ bury 3's.

This has been one of the better officiated college basketball games I've seen in a long time.

Refs are having a bad second half.
