Don't all these transfers we have had in the last 10 years affect that APR graduation rate? I thought that any players who transfers counts as a "non graduate" while any player that transfers in and graduates - you do not get credit for.

Freddie Riley is a 4 star. The rest are 2 and 3 stars.

It is hard to use depth as an excuse in this one as the eaglets really only played 7 guys. Hard to believe but Umass actually had MORE depth in this one.

sorry, i didn't realize you guys think our guys suck so bad.

i guess having the best guards on the floor (as we have had in each game except maybe memphis) doesn't matter in college basketball. i mean our weakness in the frontcourt has killed us (except we've outrebounded our opponent in each game ...

There is an article on scout.com from yesterday about Williams. Williams says that Maryland is all over him and recruiting him the hardest. He says he expects to meet all the coaches from Maryland and wants to go there for their Midnight Madness. Williams said he'd like to make a decision before ...

If Gaffney works on ball handling and 3 pt shooting this summer, he could be a huge factor because he has the length, quickness, and coordination needed from the 4 spot in DDM. I think 3 deep threats on the court is enough but to run it the way it's supposed to be run it seems like the 4 needs to ...

If you don't think they can play up-tempo look out next year, it could be ugly. He'll run off a few guys, bring in some transfers, and run a slower style that he isn't equipped to coach. On the bright side by year two or three you'll be fine.

If we keep the guys we have, we might be able to run ...

I love it. I was at a bunch of games this year and will likely be at the SFA game too. Call me whatever you like but I'm a better fan than lots of people here. And, I notice you refuse to answer the previous question.

I disagree. With the year they A-10 had they deserved at least 4. The Big East getting 8 teams is a joke.

Don't look at the leagues. Look at the teams. Umass was the next best team from the A-10 that deserved to go. Nova was the last team that made it from the Big East. Umass did not have a ...

Well, at least Bob Behler is happy. The 10th anniversary of our last appearance in the NCAA was not a good luck charm arrgggh. NIT is fine if you consider pre season expectations. I'll probably head up to see teh games. Umass should have a 2 seed at worst.

Lunardi's final bracket will be out soon. Basedo n what he said in the studio Umass will not be in the "last four out" but rather in the "next four out." Seems as time goes on here Umass slips further. Nova is gathering momentum because something they did not have at this time yesterday is wins over ...

There are 18 bracket projections that were updated as of this morning. None of them had Umass listed in them. Most of the other ones are supposed to be updated by about 3 pm. We'll have to see how many Umass is actually listed on at that point.

The Bracket Project compiles predictions. There are 53 brackets and Umass is named in 16 of them. Of those 16 however, 11 of them have not been update since 3/14 or earlier. From looking at the list it appears that we will be listed on between 3 and 6 brackets when all are updated today assuming GA ...

Anyone hear Lunardi on the game just now? He said if Temple wins this game the A-10 will get 3 teams in otherwise it will be two. They did talk about Umass saying they are right on the line but seems like he thinks it will be a tad short.
