Re: UMass transfer portal news - 2024

He found out he could transfer again.. asked for more money to stay and "things didn't work out". Not that hard to figure out. That's my assumption. Cohen thinks he can get a certain amount in the portal and UMass can't/won't match. I'd love him on the team next year, but not someone to b...

Re: 2024-25 Season

Agreed that Jaylen leaving would probably be the biggest red flag for me. Idk if he was a collective guy last year, but put him on payroll.

Re: UMass transfer portal news - 2024

I imagine a good chance at the NCAA tourney is another driving factor. Odds are UMass won’t be in the tourney next year. Going to a generic P6 gives you a much better chance. I had hopes of keeping Cohen, but Cross has been gone in my mind since senior day. He can go pro or go collect a couple hundr...

Re: UMass transfer portal news - 2024

Get use to it. Umass has officially accepted mediocrity. The hope of ever being like we were in the 90’s is gone. The hope? Jesus hope went out the window in the 90s. My only hope is to build a constant winner... not just one semi good year every 10 years and have a coach leave us at a drop of any ...

Re: 2024-25 Season

I'm a believer that Davis improved, but the consistency game to game never happened. He was bad in the game yesterday, but that's not unusual for a freshmen to have trouble in a situation like that. I can't get caught up in the roster changes year to year anymore, just too many unknowns and outside ...

Re: Game 31, 2023-24: A10 Tourney Quarters (3/14)

I went to an A10 Barclay's game sometime in the past 10 years (I forget when) and my lasting memory was how insane the usher was in keeping people to their assigned seats when the place was nearly empty. I have a feeling this was just the 1 usher playing God and it's not like that throughout the are...

Re: First reaction: UMass to the MAC

Very good comments throughout the thread. I've felt MAC All-Sports was our best realistic option for the entire department, but it feels worse now that it's a reality. I'm chalking that up to this being the first enjoyable A-10 season I can remember as a fan. Over the past 30 years, I think UMass wo...

Re: Game 27, 2023-24: St. Bonaventure (2/24)

Welp, glad I wasn’t able to watch that one. I like this team quite a bit and they are a good team and have been a bit better than I expected, but fuck after the VCU game, multiple people online posted that “we are the team nobody wants to play in the tournament” — and that just makes me shake my he...

Re: Game 27, 2023-24: St. Bonaventure (2/24)

Monty Mack is my first real memory of UMass basketball, glad to see him coming out. Frank is bringing some pride back to the program. Cool to see Matt talk at length about his journey and time at UMass. I figured he’d be gone at the end of the year based on the hints from Frank/Collective, but we’l...

Re: Game 27, 2023-24: St. Bonaventure (2/24)

Unless they get very hot from 3 I'd expect a win from UMass. Should be a good game, 2 well coached teams that just played a couple weeks ago.

Re: Game 25, 2023-24: at LaSalle (2/17)

Beginning of the year I vowed not to let UMass losses bring me down, so I’ll look at this as a neutral week. They had to win one, and they did. That said, they choked away all momentum and desperately need another win next week against tough competition.

Re: Game 24, 2023-24: at Richmond (2/14)

Congrats to the team on the big win. Words don’t do Matt Cross justice, what a warrior. Rob Davis was the most encouraging part of the game for me. Hit shots but more importantly looked comfortable and better in every other aspect of the game. Real test begins now, every remaining game should be con...
