The numbers that stay with me from last season's game at ASU: Time of possession: UMass 41:30, ASU 18:30 Offensive plays: UMass 94, ASU 42 First downs: UMass 25, ASU 11 Total offense: UMass 475 (168 rush-307 pass), ASU 275 (133-142) But the Wolves knew what to do with it for the brief time when they...

Of note, I'm just now reading that WEEI in Springfield (105.5) is no longer carrying UMass football. Apparently, my old employer, WHMP (101.5, 1240, 1400), is back to being the flagship station, with WCRN in Worcester (830) still an affiliate. For home games carried by the ESPN family, Jay Burnham w...

Just seeing this post for the first time. I can also lay claim to catching a foul ball at an MLB game. Childhood? Not exactly, I was a young pup of 41. https://www.retrosheet.org/boxesetc/2007/B08200ARI2007.htm The D-Backs' Dustin Nippert threw it, the Brewers' Bill Hall (later with the Red Sox) hit...

That was after a 13-point second half for the Badgers. UMass can relate, having put up 18 in the second half vs. UNT in December.

The 2024 NIT semifinals and final will be held at Butler's Hinkle Fieldhouse in Indianapolis. It's possible that the event will return to NYC for 2025.

Harvard took out URI in the next round, 74-63, and will now play at Columbia in the WNIT quarterfinals. The fourth time those two teams have played this season.

I feel like the decks are gradually clearing for another UConn title.

Hey, who else has won as many as four of these over the last 25 tournaments? Answer: nobody

GW would like a word.

^ I think you'll want to flip-flop those two seasons.

6th-place Duquesne to the CBI.

And I thought 2011 vs. Dayton (at home, no less) was rough.

SLU started the season 1-7 and then 4-11 overall in non-con play. The Billikens were 6-16 before starting on this current run of 10 wins in their last 11, including the 2-pointer over UMass 10 days ago.

I would have filled in for Bob Behler on play-by-play that night. Bob had a funeral to attend in Pennsylvania. I remember getting the word that Wednesday morning, "Sorry, no game tonight." It took another 8+ months before I could sub in. I worked the 2003-2004 season opener against St. Fra...
