Well NJIT stinks but we are playing fairly well outside of the perimeter shooting (which is to be expected). Defense is fine, not turning it over, guards are doing a good job finding dudes inside.

Edit: meant to add I wonder why Watson isn’t seeing any minutes.

Rivera should never shoot outside paint. Just focus on rebounding and layups. Play like Rodman.

They just said Watson not available today. That's why we are seeing so much more of Foster today. Good opponent for getting him some minutes.

Anyone having issues streaming games from UMass on ESPN+? Have been unable to stream home games om Roku recently. No problem with the soccergames from Penn and VA.

Not a lot of minutes for DHS today. Maybe he's resting up a bit after last week with three games in seven days, this week.

ShahMu is having a pretty darn nice game. I want to see him continue to get minutes. Would love to see him continue to improve as we move forward.

I would go to Roku software and update the software. Also, you can have it restart your device. That often solves problems.

Only problem I consistently have is the audio track slows down and Jakes voice gets deep. That I solve by exiting and going back in. I think all these issues are software related.

Any theories as to why Curry and Jayden are riding pine with the game still on the line? I’d probably not do that.

They got a ton of minutes on Wednesday and the players in there are handling it well. Two more games this week and in one, perhaps two, Worthy won't be available due to family issue.

Hey, Worthy was +16 in 20 minutes today. Let's give him credit.

Rivera plays tough and that’s why Frank Martin plays him. Lead the team in points and rebounds. Unfortunately we gotta deal with UMass fans who don’t know how to shoot a basketball that still want him benched every game.

Diggins still can’t throw a grape into the ocean.

Yeah we won, but we still need much more from our guards to be competitive in the A10. Curry and Diggins both scoring under 10 points will not cut it, not even close.
