^ Agreed. A split doesn't help us much, but it's good to get the first one. 2 even strength goals, 2 power play goals, 1 shorthanded goal, by 5 different scorers. Hrabel continues his stellar play, stopping 37 out of 38 shots.

That the win came on the road is very good.

Hope the boys can win at home tomorrow night!

I’m expect a big energetic crowd!

1-1 - 2 1/2 minutes into the 2nd.

As close to a capacity crowd as I’ve seen. Can’t be more than a couple of hundred empty seats scattered throughout the building.

37 saves for Big Mike so far-5 minutes left in the 2nd! :shock:

Tied at 3-3 minutes left. Getting outshot 52-19! :shock:

Jack Musa wins it for us in a shootout. The shootout was 7 rounds, with both teams scoring in round 2 and then Musa in round 7. Hrabel with 4 goals allowed in over 90 shots between the 2 games and 6 out of 7 in the shootout.

Besides the shootout winning goal, Musa tied it at 3-3 with a goal in the 3rd period. 5 points from UConn is a big weekend.

50 saves tonight!

No doubt UMass would have lost in regulation if not for him.

Great Crowd !

They need to figure out how to move cars out much quicker than tonight. Stayed for the Senior Night ceremonies and still had a big wait.
Really discourages the on and off fan Fri coming back to a game that could have a large crowd!

Also after the OT period, simply saying tonight’s game is a tie, when there was a Shootout that many didn’t think was coming. And then they didn’t explain the rules for the Shootout!

Really nice shootout win but not right that the lights got turned off in OT when UConn had a 2 on 1 scoring chance. Someone needs to get fired over that. Probably the AD.
Give WBB more money.

if shutting off the lights is what it takes to get Bamford fired, we need to make a statue of the person that did it.......they are my hero !!! The person who did it may have negatively impacted one game but Bamford has impacted so many more ! So if that person gets fired, Bamford should also get fired !

Has an ‘official’ explanation over the lights incident been given?

Was it deliberate…an unfortunate glitch or something else?

A "Michael Har-a-bell" save was #1 on Sport Center's Top 10 in the seven o'clock hour this morning.
"Jack didn’t have any envy in him," Calipari said. "He was the greatest coach to ever coach here."
