I knew the officiating was bad, but I just watched part of the 2nd half again and was it ever. First, there was a call on Leo at about half court where maybe he breathed on the guy and got called. Even worse was the call on DHS on the 3 pointer late in the game. On replay, Daniel was 6 inches from the guy and didn't come close to touching him.

Maybe I'm biased, but that's what I saw and I'm sticking to it. I AM HAPPY :D :D :D :D :D

Let's give Frank an extension (if he wins the conference championship and we make the dance). No, not even then.

First chance at a keyboard today, couldn't watch or listen to the game. Best part other than the win, is reading the posts and following along as the sentiments regarding the players and Frank changed :)
All due respect, and I mean that from the bottom of my heart, I'm gonna pass.

Was at the game and the ‘foul’ on DHS was at the other end so I did not get a good look at it. But judging all the remarks here it was simply a bogus call. Too bad calls like that cannot be reviewed.
In any event tremendous credit for the team coming back from 11 point deficit in pretty much an away game. I thought all the starters played well. Let’s keep it up and see if we can sneak into NCAAs

Miami players took on the personality of their HC.

As soon as the player released the ball, he turned to complain to the ref even tho he wasn't touched on that three attempt.

It's been an incredibly frustrating and inconsistent year(s) but this is a win to be celebrated. Beat a team nobody else did this year. So happy to see UMASS get in the headlines on ESPN. Now let's avoid the letdown and somehow steal a bid!

Don't forget our favorite whipping boy, Luka. He only played two minutes, but had one big hoop!

We've been the top headline on ESPN.com all morning.. man, just soaking this day in.. feels great! It's been a while

Jayden was the x factor today, played some great offense, finding a nice touch around the rim, and he held the MAC POY, Suder, to only 10 points today.

I'm gonna miss Marcus & Leo next year. Really good players who just want to win. And a great effort by DHS today coming back after being out. Jayden really made some big plays down the stretch, incredible effort. Luka with a big bucket with a short stint, after getting blasted the last few games. I really like this group of players, hope they win it all for themselves
