Big Cat, help us out, why should we hate Miami. Feels like we need a team to hate in this conference and for me it is them.

They are the ivy of the MAC.. my nephew was a swimmer for them. But they are an easy team to hate i guess because it's a private school in a sea of state schools. Think BC vs all Mass public.

Our first year in the MAC and we’ve single handily turned it into a two bid league!

Miami? They’re public. No private schools in the MAC. Not since the olden days.

We won wearing the black uniforms today... Berky must be very happy about that

[NilesGold]

Still shocked they won and doing it making only a few 3s is really impressive. Congrats to the team.

Did anyone else notice when the camera zoomed in on Frank at one point he had a plastic water bottle, I could have sworn his hand was shaking… was I imagining this?

[InnervisionsUMASS]

They just showed the highlights on ESPN2 between the Big12 games and the guy announcing them gave a shoutout to Bamford for the big win

I am not happy they wore them. However if we can somehow win the next 2 then they will make up for a bunch of the close losses we had.

That’s right. Remember, it is why we moved there. You know, “peer institutions” and “revenue.”

Very disappointed in the Gazette coverage of this. I fully wasn't expecting them to send a writer to Cleveland, but they just ran an Associated Press recap of the game, and put it behind a paywall, as if they added any value.

Any of their remaining sportswriters could have watched the game from anywhere and still churned out a custom story. And the game was at 11 AM on a Thursday. What else would have conflicted with that?

Our biggest win in years and pretty much no effort put in on it.

Saw the same thing but it’s none of our business what might be going on.

Frank said in the postgame presser that this was the most nervous he'd ever been going into a game so hopefully that's all it was.

Wow 95.8% chance of winning after Miami OH went up 11 late in the game

Hell of a comeback.. if we win tomorrow it’s only gonna feel better. Great day!
