Re: Thorr Bjorn






I'll play, move to football forum, then if that happens, which I don't think so, move it to General discussion. This is not Other Sports as lacrosse, track and field, soccer etc



Agreed this should be moved to the football forum Mike. Thorr is now the defacto UMass Football czar, he ...

Re: Game 7, 2025-26: Oregon State (Paradise Jam 11/24)

44 seconds - up 3 with the ball - Frank resets them waiving his arms like crazy - looks like a high pick and roll... Carbuccia goes beyond wide so there is no pick to be made.... not even close.

Well at least they are not going to choke this one - nice win.

Gonna be a long ride back to Corvallis ...

Re: 2025-26 Season




I heard, from a very reliable source, that DHS got $500,000 and a car from NIL to Return.


would be shocked if that is true - no way anyone would have been offering DHS that much money. I could see $50,000 and a car, but even that would be on the high side IMO


500k is actually very much ...

Looks like another nail bitter... I wonder how they will snatch defeat from the jaws of victory today?

I am sure poor foul shooting will play a role.

Looks like there might be 100 people in attendance. What an atmosphere for the last place game.

Re: 2025-26 Season



Who's the leader of this team? Seriously, someone needs to step up and be THAT guy to get everyone on the same page and get through those tough stretches. And this isn't a knock on anyone, but who is that guy? Is there one? Maybe the constant roster turnover doesnt allow for one. Or maybe they ...

Re: 2025-26 Season

We (as fans) are already very close to losing this team and season and it is not even December 1st yet.

We can go round and round on Football v Basketball; but the reality is that Basketball has not been great for a long time either and people's patience on that was already thin before the MAC ...

Which would be the equivalent of about 13-18 if we were in the A-10.

Re: Zone defense??

Half way decent 3 point shooting teams will shred us. If they cannot perform a simple switch in man to man , they won’t be able to cover the zone switches you need.

Go watch an old temple or Syracuse game…. These guys can’t move like that.
