How many times have we heard that a guy has scored their career high against us? Seemingly every game. I'd really like to know Frank's plan to improve the D this season.

Eastern Michigan is not a good team at all. I don’t understand

That's a 5 second violation. Come on.
Give WBB more money.

Ugly win, but a win down the stretch
Be proud of the present and look to the future.

Yeah, I don't get it. I guess we were spoiled with the quality of the officiating in the A10.

Glad they escaped with the win. FM said on the postgame they had 2 awful days of practice and it definitely showed in the game. Makes me wonder what's going on with the culture of this team. If we don't have Bettiol and Ndjigue out there we can forget it.

Students came back to campus. Classes are starting. It's fucking cold. All reasons to be off. What did Jayden do at the end that Frank didn't like. Did he almost foul the three point shooter?

Jayden scored his career high tonight.

Every game is the same. The only difference is whether we’ll eek out a win or snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.

At least Banks was a +8
I forgot where DHS hit 3 shots, because he looked like a near-zero out there tonight.

And we were due to get the benefit of some officiating.
FTAs: UM 25-35, EMU 16-18

And can we give a shout-out to Jayden for his 9-10 from the stripe? Dude was .616 career going in.

Glad they won. I believe that a lot of people have lost interest in UMass basketball based on the size of this thread.
