Maybe a combination of the two....

Now why would I kill you? My complaint was that you implied that he was acting when he on crutches at the alumni game.

Thanks for the info, I'll be sure not to watch.

If UMass fans didn't enjoy early Put, steady Cady, Maxie and late Chaz then I don't know what these players need to do to keep people from pissing and moaning.

They were 4.5 point favorites and they won by 10. They're 16-1, I'll take it and sip a victory Jimmy Beam every time.

Great win on the road. Elon's not OK State, but still a team that will do well enough to make this an OK win, haha. Glad it was not another nail biter. On to Richmond - which will be a huge challenge for us on the road.

This is probably obvious, but if Sampson could get back to playing the way he did early in the season, we would be unstoppable. I think we are a very good team and Put's played more consistent than inconsistent which has put us in a good position. Just wish I could say the same for Sampson. Other than St. Bonaventure, he really hasn't shot with the same consistency and hasn't been the same threat as he was prior to Florida State.

Maxie is the man. I mean, seriously, he just brings another level to this team.

I think everyone is looking for that punch to the head that knocks a team on it's arse, even if it's for 5 minutes, just so we can validate our ranking. But I have to say, I'm impressed by how they've handled their business and how they just seem in control. 16-1 I don't think anyone saw this

Write an email to complain Marty. You'll get your money back.

I'm a little confused...I swear I watched a game where UMass led from an alley-oop in the first few seconds until the final second. Uninterrupted lead. Isn't that what happened?

16-1 is amazing!

next up... RICHMOND

I don't really think predicting a loss counts as bitching and moaning. I've been looking at this game as one of our most likely losses for a while.

That being said I'm in the IV camp that would finally find a way of predicting a Umass win even if we were playing @arizona

To that point and for all the shite people give Putney he had 7 pts and 4 boards in the first six minutes tonight when they went up by 18-8. It's a TEAM game and he certainly gave his team a hellofa start tonight, just saying.

My paid stream was fine, running Chrome on a PC. Would've been nice to have the score and clock on the screen but the announcers did a nice job keeping us updated.

I have 4 antivirus anti-malware programs on my system. I don't know of anyone who is more meticulous about scanning than I am. But thanks for your concern.

I also have ad block and just about anything else you can think of but if you have other suggestions, please pm me and I'd be happy for your advice.

Great game! Horrible feed. Hoping Chaz is okay, he looked a little off today.

Go UMass!!!

My AVG antivirus popped up twice during the game on firstrowsports to tell me there was an infection, and got rid of them both. I'm gonna run malwarebytes in a few minutes.

Imagine if we got a few more calls the right way in Florida and beat FSU. We wold be top 10, maybe top 6 or 7. We also might get killed by unranked Richmond and never beat a top 40 team. Hang on to your hats folks.

Not complaining. Just that I think unless we kick the shit out of a team, some people think we're not playing well. I am not one of those people.
Know what I'm sayin?

This team was MUCH closer to losing a game or two than they were to winning against FSU. Let's call it a wash.
