1/3/2026 (home) and 2/28/2026 (away) for the record. Syracuse wore something similar in orange and navy stripes many years ago.

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.

Moving from one quantile into another in a few weeks. Nice round milestone number, don'tcha know.

Today's exercise in UMassHoops diehard-dom:
I'm currently sitting at Gate C9 at BWI on my way back from Florida. Earbuds are in and the UMass-Maryland game from 12/10/1994, played only a few miles from ...

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?


Kjell "The Nordic Nightmare ...

28 turnovers committed in the game, 12 in the 4th quarter alone and 3 more in the OT.
Second time in the last three games (see: A-10s vs. SLU) with 28 turnovers.

Today's winner gets the Campbell/Southern Indiana winner in the third round. Date, time, site all TBA. Those two play tonight at 7:00 at USI.

UMass up 33-31 at the half

Jabarie Hinds' career game with 37 points. UMass 108 Duquesne 99 (OT)

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 ...

Twenty years and one week since UMass' last triple-OT game.

11-13 from the floor, 7-8 from 3 in the quarter. 29-8 Richmond after one

UMass 26% FG at the half to SJU's 43%

Another throwback to olden times as I'll be on the PA mic for Saturday's doubleheader. Thanks once again to the Hall for the opportunity.

Now to see about wrestling this voice into some kind of shape.

This was my post in another thread from about a year ago, but it holds up in the present discussion.

I can remember Calipari addressing the notion that Mullins as constructed wasn't big enough, that it should have been built for 14-15K. His answer was, "You don't want it too big. That way, it won't ...
