Since renewal for season tickets is through the 17th, thinking at least 2 weeks after that, so early Oct the earliest for tickets. Hope we can be a 500 in the A10. Think that is a fair bar/goal.
Go UMass!!

There's a little more clarity on how the Jersey Mike's event will go, but I don't get how it could work.

Tickets have gone on sale via https://www.purplepass.com/#u55828/Van_ ... ement.html

That site is saying 9 games total, 3 each on Thurs 11/18, Fri 11/19, and Sun 11/21.

How the heck do you divide 6 teams into 9 games? I can't figure out how they'd make it even for all teams.

^

Maybe it isn't even for all the teams?

I'm pretty sure you can make it work, but probably no logic as to who plays whom. It could be done a number of ways without regard for who wins or loses each day. This is 1 scenario:

Day 1: 1 plays 2, 3 plays 4, 5 plays 6
Day 2: 1 plays 6, 2 plays 4, 3 plays 5
Day 3: 1 plays 3, 2 plays 6, 4 plays 5

This was tweeted today, but not from an official source:
Rocco Miller
@roccomiller8
2h
Jersey Mike's Classic Update:
UNC-Greensboro will play against UMass, FIU, and Green Bay in their three games.
Then this was tweeted:
KevinPyt
@kevinpyt
1h
Green Bay plays UNCG, FIU, and Weber State
Someone then extrapolated that we would play UNCG, Weber State and Ball State.

I'll work on it to see if the assumptions about us are correct. But since these are unofficial, I am taking them with a large grain of salt.

Rocco was correct. We're slated for
Thur 11/18, 5:30, Weber State
Fri 11/19, 3:00, UNC-Greensboro
Sun 11/21, 2:30, Ball State

Weber State went 17-6 overall / 12-3 Big Sky last season.
In the Department of Odd Coincidences, @mikesteady123's last game before departing Montana was against Weber.
Our guy @BradyAnton10 is now the Video Coordinator for Weber.

UNC Greensboro went 21-9 overall / 13-5 in the SoCon, winning the title and tournament.
They lost coach Wes Miller to Cincinnati, Mike Jones moved up from Radford to backfill.
We haven't faced a SoCon school since Western Carolina in Nov. 2017.

Ball State went 10-13 overall / 8-9 in the MAC. They won the MAC's West Division in 2019-20.
UMass had their run against MAC schools during the Kellogg era, but never matched up against Ball.

^ It looks like Weber State will be our toughest game. They lost their top scorer but return their next 6 scorers, ranging from 12.3 to 7.3 points and they have some size.

UNCG also lost their top scorer (19.2) and returns only 2 of their top 5 scorers (10.0 and 8.6).

Ball State lost their top 4 scorers and the highest returning are 7.3 and 7.3.

I didn't check for transfers or recruits so this is far from complete. If someone looked at our roster we would probably look like UNCG. I'd be disappointed if we didn't win at least 2, but it's hard to know just what we'll look like this year.

Interesting that it will be a UMass first game ever against all three.
