Game 10, 2025-26: Boston College @ Mass Mutual (12/10)

[MikeUMA]

It's officially official. UMass vs BC in Springfield on 12/10.

The Hoop Hall is making it part of their HOF Classic double-header, same as last season's event with UM/ASU and Temple/Rhody. This year, Yale/Albany will be the other half of the twin-bill.

Different day this year though: Wednesday. That makes a double-header a little tougher, so it'll be curious what the game times turn out to be. TBD on that.

Footnote: Hoop Hall has a picture of Luka as the one UM player they feature. Another sign that he's back for 2025-26.

We’ve been asking, begging for this game for 11 years. It’s simply not “tough”...if you care, you get there.

I purchased all the courtside seats (80) for this game to make sure it’s truly a home court for UMass. Program Alumni will have first priority (no cost), then they’ll be offered to Mass Collective members and supporters at ticket price.

We’ve got every courtside seat locked down. No need for a single BC fan in that section. Go U.

This guy cares a lot about our program. That’s a big statement!

Appreciate what you do!

[vanmeter]

Excellent getting every courtside seat!

[Juice Stand]

That's unreal. And to offer them to program alumni at no cost, what an incredible gesture and a way to keep former players connected to the program and each other. Nice work, truly.

Pat, we are so lucky to have you leading the charge on so many UM hoop initiatives, and obviously led by your spearheading the Collective.

On another note, looks like the game organizers have set start times. It's a double-header, and the good news is that UM/BC main event is not starting late.
Albany vs. Yale - 4:30 PM EST (ESPNU)
UMASS vs. Boston College - 7:00 PM EST (ESPNU)

BC dropped a home game to Central CT. Being discussed in the CCSU thread.

Earl Grant will be gone shortly, what an abysmal hire.

BC has whiffed on coaching decisions since they chose to let go of our guy Al Skinner.

Before we get all giddy about this (as we should), remember that they beat us in Amherst last year. This year we're on the revenge tour.

Is Bamford BC's AD too?

I don’t think we’re giddy because BC lost, I think we’re giddy because someone else feels our pain

I'll be on the official scorebook for both games of that doubleheader.
