Bru, Robic, Barbee and Cal all back together. The only one missing is Bayno.

UMass basketball surpasses UMass football in total points scored
Whatcha taking? :twisted: :twisted:

Usually I'm a confirmed report kind of guy, but this year I'm flexing a little to trusted source.

Hearing rumblings that...

La Salle has already been postponed from 12/9 to another date later in the season.

UMass-Lowell and Maine are expected to be added. Home/away TBD.
Maybe 1 more non-conf also.

Those are in addition to the confirmed Northeastern game, plus the reported Bryant game.

^ I know scheduling is a mess right now, but there are a lot of quality teams within driving distance, but it seems we won't be playing any of them. I understand some level of caution with the team having missed some practice and needing time to shake off the rust, but there are good teams in the same boat I'd think Bamford could schedule.

I'm assuming Bamford and McCall would play anyone anywhere anytime. I think they're trying to get any games they can.

Agreed... scheduling games is a two-way street, as we know from our dealings with a certain school located in Newton. We might want to play certain schools, but if they don't want to or the dates don't work out for both parties... it's not as easy as it seems.


I also suspect they are trying to reschedule games they already had first before anything else since contracts were already in place... ex: NU.

Ok, sequentially: “Tough guy?” And here I would have thought you’d to call me a snowflake because I suggested public health was more important than basketball. Makes me wonder what your bar for ‘toughness’ might be. “Self-absorbed?” I don’t think so, but, hey, maybe. But certainly not as an anonymous poster. No, I was fully commenting on you in this post. Not about me at all. “Know it all?” No, just enough to know that as we inch our way toward 300k people having died, your brilliant take is that UMass is the “only school that isn’t playing” because, well, you don’t like the head coach and perhaps the athletic director. You mentioned something about being a message board tough guy? Fool.

No, just a select few :)

But PM is cool with me. Probably not as satisfying for a guy like Vanmeter who wants to toss around stingers like calling me a “tough guy” on a message board. Loses a certain something in PM, I suppose.

People are getting creative with their scheduling,after UM-L beat USF Dons in CT, they traveled to Ohio State to play Illinois State and the Buckeyes (tied at half and lost by 10). The transportation, a private jet, was supplied by Ohio State, round trip!

Mike made a request to stop with the political comments and I respect his plea but thanks for capitalizing YOU.
