Yesterday was false hope, today we see the UMass team we have come to expect.

If you really want a laugh, go to the RedHawk fan forum (MiamiHawk -Love and Honor). They are all blaming the refs. UMass players, especially the Italian, were mauling and bullying the Miami players the whole game, and the refs were letting them get away with it.

What a bunch of whiners. 17 ...

Still shocked they won and doing it making only a few 3s is really impressive. Congrats to the team.

Did anyone else notice when the camera zoomed in on Frank at one point he had a plastic water bottle, I could have sworn his hand was shaking… was I imagining this?

I was hoping for for reprieve from the shit show of the men, but no such luck. They laid an absolute egg tonight in the biggest game of the season thus far. Very disappointing.

This looks as bad as the men’s games, I was hoping for better.

Wonder how long it'll take UMass to change course. If Frank had any pride, he'd take a pay cut to allocate more to players.


I think coaches who are teachers are still going to get paid as nicely as they are now. Coaches that have a ...

I’m pretty sure Kenpom rates Akron significantly better than Miami OH.

Tied for 14th (last) place in the A10 this year. 7th last year and 8th the year before that. His 20 years started with 4 very bad years, before several mediocre years that saw one surprising A10 tournament championship. After a few more mediocre years, Schmidt's teams had 5 good years, but these ...

It’s not perplexing at all, it makes perfect sense.

What? Hurley gave URI a huge boost that they have not managed to match since.

What is franks buyout? Anyone seen his contract?


Frank Martin is signed through the 2028/2029 season and has huge buyout money if he is fired without cause. They will owe him his full salary $1.6M per year plus a buyout on his bonuses which would be in the $2-$3M range alone. Add that to the ...

Oh man I was thinking the same thing. When I hear people talk about losing to shit teams in close games as entertaining as if it was a positive thing is wild.

Hate to say this but having grown up in Mass and lived here most of my life, it's so obvious: bluest of blue Mass and a governor who is a total lefty I can tell you that Bamford nor Frank are not going ANYWHERE.


What does the political leanings of the state’s leaders and residents have to do ...

Not just a new coach, but also a new AD.

If I was Frank Martin or Ryan Bamford I would be embarrassed and ashamed at how much money I've made off of being an abject failure at UMass.

No matter what you think of UMass' place in the current and future landscape of college athletics, the current ...
