Confirming for ticket purchasing purposes...so win or lose vs. Colorado, we are in Session 3 on Friday?

The game will be on ESPN U. So I will pick up the stream on my desktop computer and switch it to my big flat screen TV.

Session 3 seems to be the Friday afternoon games, so yes, that's correct. Win or lose Thursday, we'll be in Friday afternoon's lineup.

Thursday is definitely on ESPNU.
Friday will either be ESPN2 or ESPNU. TBD, pending Thursday's result. They'll put the better matchup on ESPN2.

At the 12 minute TV TO in the 1st half, Murray State is up 15-9 on A&M.

[InnervisionsUMASS]

Murray State is still up, 35-28 at the half.

[bobolink]

so this game will start about 2 PM or a little later, right?

[capezona]

Looks like Murray State is going to win. They only played 7 guys so their starters might get worn out tomorrow by the end of the game.

[Upstate10]

This tournament just opened right up for us

[inthescoop]

Murray State were 13 point underdogs and won by 9.

Steve Prohm is a hell of a coach.

Buzz Williams just keeps on getting paid more and more to go from one program to another without proving much.

Very interested to see the line for this game.

Yeah, Murray only went 7 deep. We went 12 deep. I expect their entire starting lineup to be gassed in the second half tomorrow.

If I were Frank, and I'm not, I would have us running and gunning tomorrow with frequent substitutions. Tire them out by halftime.

Of course, If I were a coach, I would likely be fired after the first exhibition game.

Really looking forward to tomorrow's game. Go UMass!!!

Umass, Murray State, Charlotte and Tulsa. Just like we all thought it would be. At least there won’t be a random non-conference matchup against Loyola-Chicago now.
