Re: KAEO Brison Gresham (2016)
Mike Mole was the captain and best player. Mike Johnson was a bit player. I was a Collegian sports reporter. Mole had to sit out the first semester. Mole and Peter Bernard were an outstanding backcourt that very few here know existed.InnervisionsUMASS wrote:Old Cage wrote:Mike Mole missed the first ten in the fall of 1961 and then led us to the 62 Dance.

Do you mean Mike Johnson? Or were you kidding about the "true story" part?
Now back to your regularly scheduled programming.

Gresham had quite the debut, gets announced into the game then the roof leaks, a long delay, he grabs a rebound. Goes to the FT line and shoots an air-ball. When he is making all A10 he'll look back and laugh at his debut.

Mike Mole was an excellent player and would have been in any era
Re: KAEO Brison Gresham (2016)
Mike Mole '62 probably makes the All-Mike Umass first team along with Pagliara '72, Pyatt '78, Stokes '76 and Williams '95.
I'll save you the trip to wiki part of the website and list the remaining Mikes: Ahearn (captain of the 1904 team), Babul '00, Byrnes '90, Frodyma '42, Grammel '79, Johnson '64, Jones '04, Meola '67, Mendy '86, Sinn '07, Wojewodzic '15
MVP obviously is Mike Fetterer.

Brisony really ignited the crowd when he was fronting Tacko and ripped a pass right out of Tacko's hands

He didn't play much yesterday, but those few minutes he seemed lost. He'll get there, I chalk that up to freshman lapses.
