Game 18, 2022-23: at VCU (1/17)
Didn't see a thread yet for this one. Doesn't appear the game is on TV? Umass Athletics lists NBC Digital - whatever that is? I don't think that is Peacock as I do not see it listed for upcoming events - might have to get the radio out and listen to it.

This will be a tough one. While it's not the Shaka Smart "Havoc" defense, VCU is still tough to score on (64.7 per game). A few other stats stand out:
Free throws attempted:
VCU 438
Opponents 299
Turnovers per game:
VCU 15.2
Opponents 17.9
Blocked Shots:
VCU 87
Opponents 54

If we're without Noah, I see us getting slaughtered. We'll be at their gym, so for folks looking for the refs to call fouls on their pressure defense, spoiler alert: they won't. Remember when Trey Davis was a Freshman, and VCU made him look like one? That's what I'm expecting in this one. Prediction: they're going to turn us over, they're going to get to the line, we won't, and we'll all be complaining about the refs afterwards. VCU 73, UMass 59.
Someone give me a reason for optimism, I need it.

The UM game notes are out and it says nbcsports.com / the NBC Sports App for watching. No traditional TV. No ESPN+. Sounds like NBC retained the rights for it, but didn't elevate it to TV over streaming.MakeMullinsGreatAgain wrote: ↑Mon Jan 16, 2023 12:27 pm Doesn't appear the game is on TV?

this will be a tough one to say the least. They're big, athletic and skilled. Forwards DeLoach and Johns (5th year player, transfer from Michigan) and excellent rebounders and shot blockers. Ace Baldwin is likely an all conference PG, and their bench is even deeper than UMass at full strength. Shriver, not a starter, has made 16 of his last 20 3s.
Before the season started, I commented how the A10 matchups were favorable for the Minutemen, who get to play top teams like Dayton, SLU and Richmond at home and only once. This game is the exception in a super hard gym to win. And the "favorable schedule" comment was made before dates/times were set. VCU played Friday and UMass Saturday night. VCU gets 3 full days to prepare and UMass get 1 day and a travel day. When teams get the extra time like that, I'd like to see the team with the extra day(s) do the traveling. So maybe UMass gets the benefit next time with an extra day to get ready for St. Joe next Saturday. Nope. They're playing today so they're the ones with the extra day then also. 2-3 extra days considering the traveling.

ok so the NBC Sports app - gotcha! I looked on nbcsports.com and they do not list it - so I guess the app it is - thanks MikeMikeUMA wrote: ↑Mon Jan 16, 2023 2:45 pmThe UM game notes are out and it says nbcsports.com / the NBC Sports App for watching.

No one asked me but I'm giving my prediction anyways:
Stop waiting for UMass to do something big and help UMass do something big. - Shades
Re: Game 18: 2022-2023 VCU (1-17)
With the odds against us, I say we rally and win a tight one. UMass by 2
Time to Win

VCU open up as 8.5 point favorites… damn.
Re: Game 18: 2022-2023 VCU (1-17)
I’ll be there with the fam! I’m feeling pretty good about this game tonight. Hoping we turned a corner and FM comments seem optimistic as well.
