Nice to see that it's on ASN again, one of the better streaming services out there for sure.

By the way, we went from -1.5 favorites last night to now being +1.5 underdogs before the start of the game.

Interesting starting 5: Lewis-Anderson-Flowers-Gresham-Hines. Baldwin first in off the bench. Statement being made to the regular starters?

Making a statement with 3 games left?? Like the energy of this line up though.

I agree that it's a message and I agree and like it, but it's too late. This needed to be done a month ago. Also the switch from man to man to a zone. Just to little to late.

^getting ready to make our run in the A-10 tournament!

I am completely for playing zone defense for the rest of the season. We are a long team, and I think going zone benefits us. More importantly, it helps us rebound better.

Why is Berger shooting a three with 14 secs on the shot clock?

Wouldn't be a UMass game without a post complaining about Berger taking a shot.

It was wide open and that's DK's offense.

And stay out of foul trouble. Is this the first game this season where the opposing team didn't reach the bonus in the first half?

[UMassHoops]

Very nice half. In control and deliberate offensive sets. Definitely look better defensively in the zone.

Hope we can come out with the same purposeful play in the 2H!

He's right. Not a good shot for berger as seen by the brick he launched. He had room to step up.Hey great half. As the announcers are stating can they continue in the 2nd half. Playing well. Another interesting comment about in game adjustment to them dropping 3s. Curious to see what we do.

Another very solid first half from our squad, but now, it's 0-0, and we have to show up in the second half which has been our biggest question mark all season.

Zach Lewis, can't say enough about this kid, he can straight up play. Our best shooter no doubt. Love seeing how aggressive Jarreau is being as well.
