Re: Game 23, 2024-25: SLU (2/4)

It's devastating to find new and more excruciating ways to break my heart but as for changing anything other than seeding we knew before and after that we still need to win the A10.

Re: 2024-25 Season

^ Maybe not 8-4 but you could see they had the building blocks to be pretty good, just needed to get that nucleus they had during the Breen years! Also, 7 of their 10 losses were by 6 points or less.

Re: Game 22, 2024-25: at Duquesne (2/1)

Listening to the BBall Podcast I was reminded that the Dukes started out 0-5 in A10 play last year, regrouped and won 4 straight in the A10 Tourney and an NCAA game . . . Anything can happen!

I've gone from criticizing Frank for playing Worthy too much to yesterday saying he doesn't play enough!

Re: 2024-25 Season

^ I talked to Frank at the Spring Game and Muhammed & Abdelgowad were done deals just waiting for the paperwork, so it was too late for anybody else to come aboard. These 2 were not heavily recruited so they were suspect from the start but whatever they paid was too much!

Re: 2024-25 Season

"Venning went with the money and was not coming to UMass. Fairly certain UMass attempted to get him."

No, UMass didn't offer bcuz they already had the other 2 verballed. The point is what we paid for those 2 might have made us viable for other good post players like Venning!

Re: 2024-25 Season

Watching BC beat Miami behind former SBU Center, Chad Venning's 17 points & 5 boards. Frank could've recruited this guy who is better than the 2 enigma's we have playing center now!

Re: Game 14, 2024-25: at Saint Joseph's (12/31)

Traditionally over last 10 years or so our shooting percentages have declined in the second half, mainly 3 pt shooting, so being this bad early is NOT a good sign!

On schedule to be the WORST shooting team collectively in UMass history!
