Refs stunk, announcers stunk, our team stunk.

So strange to see a team hit their free throws. Our teams never seem to do that. What, was about 1/3 of their points from free throws?

UMass athletics is getting too exhausting.

How Akron, another MAC, does in the tournament should tell us a lot about our MAC chances.

More than one third. UMass 6 of 13 on FTs. Charleston 24 of 29. They make the effort, but that's about the only good thing you can say.

We were 6 of 13 46%
CofC 24 of 29 82%

That was the difference in the 4pt loss

Didn’t we miss a lot of free throws at the end of the Central game also.

We need to get rid of those damn black uniforms. They are bad luck.

Cleveland is a pretty underrated city. Stop there for a night on my drives from Mass to Michigan. I know we shot a bad FT %.. but if the FT were equal, even at the same % we win. Was it more about how the teams played or the calls?

Guys we came out of the gate like the ye olde 1996 Minutemen but could not sustain that scoring and defensive pace. Our rim protection is lacking.....we could use Cady Lalanne or Stephane Lasme for sure. That one guy #82 kept getting to the rim. Lets give Frankie the time over intersession to really mold this team without the distraction of classes. See you all in the Mullins Center real soon. Anyone heard from Mount Tom? I didnt see him in the stands in the USVI. Have a great Thanksgiving!
