The players don’t even try for Frank anymore. Everyone resents the clown. Too bad he has to coach another season so his 0 star recruit can get some playing time under dad.

This program is a colossal failure from all angles.. from the coaching, to the collective, to our athletic director, to the entire UMass board and administration.

Everything about this stinks. Don’t care if we come back and win, the message is loud and clear.

We left the A-10, went to a much lower league, and still can ‘t dominate.

I still think they come back this 2nd half. Banks/parker/leo with 25 combined. They will get hot and defense will do just enough.

The stretch from 8 minutes til the tv timeout was the worst baseball of the season.

seems like they've partially tuned him out

If Clerc isn't hurt or sick, something is wrong here
DHS struggling last few games

I think they'll pull this out, but it ain't pretty

Nothing but shitty possessions down the stretch.

Brutal...

What happened to Clerc? We need an answer on that. Luca shooting threes in clutch time is ridiculous. And how do you not have Leo in the post late? I could go on but I'll start with these things.

If Clerc isn't sick or hurt, we need to hear why he's not playing. Especially on a day DHS is basically non existent

Who will get the brunt of the blame in today's post game presser?
