Mount St. Mary’s beat American 83-72 tonight. Random basketball memory: When Mount St. Mary’s was D2, they played in Springfield when the Civic Center hosted the D2 Elite 8. They were runners up in 1981. They traveled well…and had a pretty enthusiastic following. They rocked the Civic Center with th...

The A-10 is 3-3 in the NIT so far, not including the Loyola-San Jose St. game, Loyola is up 42-35 at the half; St. Joseph’s lost, but Mason and Dayton won.

Still think it sucks that the NIT Final Four is no longer played at MSG.

A-10 is 0-2 in the NIT so far.

In addition to Akron beating up on the Bonnie’s, DD’s Arkansas St.team led from wire to wire to crush St.Louis 103-78. DD had 12 points and 2 rebounds in 12 minutes off the bench.

Why can’t we get, ummm I mean KEEP. guys like this….

The selections for this tournament is a joke. System is rigged. The NCAA is getting closer to fracturing between the bigs and everyone else. Power Four took almost half the bids. SEC: 14 bids (of 16 members), NCAA Tournament record Big Ten: 8 bids Big 12: 7 bids Big East: 5 bids ACC: 4 bids MWC: 4 ...

^ +1 Actually, I couldn’t care less about it!

Great effort…

I wish I could be there. At this point I’m rooting for wins today and Thursday. If that happens, my grandson and I will be there Friday!

The best thing UMass can do is to keep winning. Easier said than done but that way they control their own fate.

…especially when the NCAAs are single game elimination.

^ Not trying derail this thread, but that Celtics doc has been awfully good.

^ I wish I could be there. Unfortunately, for me anyway, we have folks coming over Saturday.

Earlier this season we were discussing UMass’ lack of scoring. Tonight’s announcers mentioned the depth of scoring on this year’s team-4 guys with 30+ points. UMass also has another 4 guys with 20+ points. Were we premature in criticizing the lack of scoring? Interestingly, the 2018-2019 team had 4...

You posted before I could correct myself. It’s at Aggannis. Back in mid-December, UMass beat them there 4-0, but lost at the Mully 4-2. I don’t know how BU has done since then, but there’s no doubt that UMass is a MUCH better team now than it was in December! BU brought in a new hotshot goalie duri...
