Games 5 & 6, 2024-25: Temple & Florida State (11/23,24)

[InnervisionsUMASS]

Monty and Jon talked about playing three games in a day at three different locations with the BABC. The guys on our team are not as ancient as IV. They can handle it.

Oh I know they'll be fine. Also one less day of losing money on table games and slots for us fans!

Yeah, on the FSU board on ON3 they are basically saying Ham killed the team.

Florida State wing Jamir Watkins is returning to the Seminoles for another season, he announced. Had entered the transfer portal back in April. Averaged 15.6 points, 6.0 rebounds, 2.8 assists -- earned honorable mention All-ACC honors. Was one of the best available players left.

Florida State is a solid replacement. Definitely not complaining about that addition.

But anyways, Fuck BC.

[Upstate10]

Very happy that Watkins is back for them. I would much prefer the P5 teams we play actually be good.

^ I thought UMass was gonna get thrashed the last time they played Arkansas..

I think it would be fun.

Let’s mix in Kentucky too. Calipari round robin tourney

[InnervisionsUMASS]

That is an epic idea. UMass, Memphis, UK and Arkansas. Sign the contract NOW!

Mohegan just lowered some November hotel rates. Some good deals for Saturday 23rd.

Any umasshoops whack pack members going? Zoo, would love to play some blackjack with you. Steve81, we still need to play some pool. Pretty sure the new Game On has some tables. Scoops, make the trip from your beloved nyc.

I have tickets for the Temple game. Love to remember the good old days and the rivalry with Temple.

It's not a good thing to be happy that an opposing player misses a game against us due to injury, but I'm OK with this scenario:

Temple G Lynn Greer suspended 9 games. The Saint Joe's transfer will out for Temple's game vs UMass at Mohegan on Nov 23rd.

For anyone who gives Mohegan a lot of business they are offering Comp tickets for the games. My wife scored 2 nights and game tickets comped.

Temple fans are ranting about Temple's free throw shooting. Then they found out that their next game is against a team that shoots free throws worse than they do. This is sad.

I have tickets for both games and was really looking forward to this at one point. Now I'm only slightly looking forward to it, but there's a very real possibility we head home 0-2 and 1-5 overall. I went to the last Mohegan tournament and even though we lost both games it was very fun, partly because of all the other college basketball I got to watch, but also because it was Tre Mitchell's first season and there was a boatload of potential with the team.

Missing out on this weekend's games due to going down to Georgia for football (I know, I know but it's an SEC weekend). Hopefully we can make a little noise after a disappointing start. Free throw shooting has been inexcusable
