Re: Game 12, 2025: Bowling Green (11/25)


Bowling Green are poor sports. With the lead they had they should have taken knees instead of scoring that last TD.


BG's #30, Wimberly, broke a big run on the previous play, going into the 2-minute timeout, that put the ball at the UMass 1. Giving Wimberly the ball on the next play for the ...

Asking for a friend...when was the last Minuteman team that shot a decent % of free throws?


Revisiting and updating a 2006 thread:

Free-throw shooting % by season since the Matt Zunic era.

1959-60 .639 Zunic
1960-61 .646 Zunic
1961-62 .597 Zunic (NCAA)

Re: Massachusetts or UMass

It was a rare occasion indeed if Jack Leaman used "UMass" on the air or in conversation. The man was all about "Massachusetts," in more ways than one.

Dimitri Clerc...I was in Geneva when I found out he's from Geneva, so I'll be rooting for this guy.. first Swiss player in UMass history I reckon!


And Bilal Osman is from Sweden. We're getting some international flair this season. Have we had any other Swedes?

Re: Game 18, 2024-25: at Fordham (1/15)




Is 120 the UMass record for most points scored in a game?

Tied the record. Scored 120 twice before, both against Vermont, last time was 1/8/1965.


Thanks. No 3s then. I’m guessing both Vermont games were in regulation.

Correct. Interestingly, the final score was the same in both games ...
