I think this trip could be a challenge. Just hoping we win more than we lose and get better as a team.

Motivational piece for the bulletin board, if that's still a thing.
All due respect, and I mean that from the bottom of my heart, I'm gonna pass.

I feel like the the oddsmakers just look at ratings like KenPom early on. Charleston is a little higher than us in the major categories.

Charleston did not to become a member of the A10 as it it easier for them to get a NCAA bid in their current conference.

Nice little showing by a pro-Charleston crowd. Standing as the game gets underway.

First couple minutes of the game have been pretty decent. 7-0 UMass after 2.

Frank should start yanking DHS out every time he jacks up a 3. That's a wasted possession. He's career .241 from 3.

Surprised they only dinged Carbuccia for 2 turnovers. Thought it was more like 3 or 4. He's tried to force too much. The refs are a little too whistle-happy. Fouls and turnovers look like the difference.

I could be wrong, but I think I see Kit Rhymer up in the stands, maybe 8 rows up behind the far end of our bench. Light green shirt.
