I wonder who Bamford will be rooting for should UMass advance? Remember, his most recent tweet/retweet is from May 4th about Yale Lax.

Green Bay is the basketball equivalent of our football program. Absolutely cannot lose to them.

Previously unbeaten Iona joins the losers' bracket after getting worked by Akron 96-75.

You know what, the loser's bracket actually looks pretty decent. If we can get by Green Bay, and my goodness I certainly hope so, we get either Iona or Oregon St., currently 176 and 147 in KenPom.

My goal was to finish 2-1 at this tournament. We've already got the loss, so let's go get two wins and finish this thing out strong.

2 things.

1. Has anyone seen a line for this game? Are we so unpredictable that Vegas won't book the game?
2. This may be a test to see how the team responds to adversity. Last year they didn't do well and sort of tanked.

Going to turn if off because it’s simply not enjoyable. One observation on Frank Martin’s tenure at UMass is that he has never solved dribble penetration. His one good team got bounced in the A10 by VCU as they cruised to the rim almost every possession, he tried to address this with ‘rim protectors’ last season (and that failed) and here we watch average dudes from Charleston and UWGB utterly carve up our D. Just remarkable to watch how this happens over and over and over. He blows.
