This is a lock to be a record low in attendance. I'll be a little surprised if they even release the figure. If they do, it'll again call into question how they measure it: tickets sold or bodies thru the door.

I'm guessing under 1,000, probably all retirees. I wonder how many concession windows ...

Haha, thanks IV. Strong morning coffee got me fired up.

Next up is Div III UMass Boston at home on Monday Dec. 22 at noon.

I started this thought in the Kent St thread and I'll continue it here. It's absolutely criminal by Ryan Bamford to schedule this "game" (exhibition, basically) against a D3 team at 12:00 on a Monday. As a season ticket holder, I'm ...

I'll be at the game, leaving shortly.

Talked with the wife about buying a season ticket next year. Flexing the Tuesday games and bring the wife or others.


They don't allow you to flex tickets anymore. You can thank our dear leader, Ryan Bamford for that. Eliminating that option is just a clear ...

I'm oddly not that upset about the loss yesterday. I'm obviously disappointed that we lost, but Kent St scared me and they totally lived up to the scouting report. They were swarming on defense, not allowing any good looks to Banks on the perimeter, and clogging the lane limiting looks by Bettiol ...

I know you're joking, but Warren Nolan has a pretty neat section on his site that shows how games will impact us in the RPI SoS. I know we all use NET and Kenpom at this point, but the ratings are starting to level out at this point in the season and RPI is still useful. We're 171 NET, 161 KenPom ...

I was there...

Outstanding and very thorough reporting, Ridge. Nice job and thanks for the info. I think the high rate of retention you mentioned speaks to two things: our NIL budget is competitive, and they like coach Joe. The skeptics will say they're staying because they can't get any better ...

When do we find out who the opponent is for the MAC/SBC challenge game, and how is that determined? You'd hope it is a good opponent.


From the UMasshoops.com 2025-26 season page: "The opponent for the February 7 game will be determined in January, based on NET ratings, geography, and frequency ...

If UMass wins the MAC tournament and gets in…what’s the best they can hope for seeding-wise…a 12?


The highest ranked team in the MAC as of today is Akron, and Bart Torvik estimates they would be an 11 or 12 seed (11.7 is the current prediction), so I think 12 is probably a good guess for the ...

Steve, please do us all a favor and do not post rumors from the MAC board. If we want to see what's being posted there, we can head on over and see for ourselves. I understand that you're excited about the conference affiliation, but posting rumors from a user that as you say, often changes his user ...

^ and Torvik has us favored by 3.5, winning by 3. Kent St lost yesterday at 186 NET Portland. We're both off until the game on Saturday.

Kent St scores 96.6 points per game! Delrecco Gillespie is a load. 6'8", 215. 19.4 points, 11.9 rebounds, 2.0 blocks. He also converts at the line, 74.1%. We'll ...

No mention of the big win vs FSU in the Gazette. I know they weren't going to send someone down to Florida to cover it, but they could have had a reporter watch it on TV and do a write up, or at least just run the AP recap.

On the flip side, the guys at the Collegian and WMUA are doing a terrific ...

...I give Frank shit when they lose or struggle against bad teams, so I will give him credit when they beat a solid team like FSU.

I listened on the radio while doing some stuff around the house, so I didn't get a real great sense of what exactly was going on, but I still don't like his in ...

Hoping for a good performance today... not going to be easy. I think we find out a lot about the boys today.

Yo IV, what did we learn about the boys? Let's go!!!

Really impressive win overall. These guys were coming off of the BC game, had finals the next day, then had to jump on a plane ...
