KAEO: Tyler Bergantino

[R&G]

That was a great pass from Donte to Tyler for his last dunk.

[Chris20]

That was a good pass. Nice to know he's capable of it. Now we need to work on his willingness.

DC had six assists for the game. (I'm using initials because I'm not sure how to spell either his first or last name.)

[Chris20]

He made another couple of nice passes for easy baskets. It was great to see. His decision making on offense has been horrendous for the most part, so hopefully he's turning a corner there. Not the first guy with a lot of talent who struggles to figure out when to shoot and when not to.

[uz2b-len]

Last year he had games where he took hardly any shots but got a lot of assists. This game he managed some of both. His shot selection was better in the second half and that helped.

Thank you to TB for his 4 years. He's worked hard and by all accounts he's been a great member of the UMass community. I was kinda bummed that DK didn't give him a little curtain call at the end of last night's game when he put in the walk-ons. I would have liked to see him get a little sendoff of some sort.

[Roadtrip]

Thanks, Tyler, for your four years at UMass.

I have had a chance to talk to TB a few times. He is a very respectful young man and has represented UMass very well in his 4 years. I wish him the best.

Tyler signed a contract to play professionally in Italy. Good luck to him!

T-Berg was never really an A10-caliber player, but he always had a great attitude, and he seemed like a really good guy. Best of luck in Europe!

[Floridafan71]

We all like Tyler and wish him well. So surprised to see he signed a contract overseas. Tyler only scored a couple points a game. He doesnot have quick feet or great hands. I was guessing he would go into coaching or business. He smart and personable and will be a guy to root for.

[EBox]

Go Tyler!

[bobolink]

Lots of likable guys in UMass basketball, and Tyler was solidly in that group. Great chance to learn Italian (perhaps he knows some already?). Good luck, T-Berg!

Awesome for Tyler.. I've heard plenty of good stories about him going above and beyond of being a great guy, and a pleasure to deal with.. However I do not understand how his talent level got him any type of contract anywhere..
