The game is on ESPN U. I stream it through my desktop computer and send it to my big flat screen TV.

Thanks for the info guys. I'll be toiling away at work, but I hope to be able to catch some of the game.

This weekend is a great opportunity for this group to come together and start to develop their identity. The first two games did not look like a team, but with a week off to practice, and now three games in four days and staying in a hotel together, this should bring them closer together and I expect to see some more cohesion by Sunday. Colorado looks like it'll be a really tough game, let's go get it.

The Buff's opened at -7.5 and its now down to -5.5 in many places. Hopefully that week of practice helped us come together. If we make our shots within 5 feet of the basket at a respectable rate I think we win.

What a country!

Any word on Gapare's thumb? We may need him against Colorado. They are by far the biggest team we've faced this year.

Kyle's preview doesn't explicitly mention Gapare, but instead: "Now all of the pieces are available."

An article in a Colorado account said that Colorado has a size and depth advantage over us. I think we can match them if Gapare is ready to go and everyone else (Cross, Luis) are close to 100%. They have had 9 different players as starters in 3 games so it's hard to know what their starting lineup will be.

I think Gapare arrived on campus the day of or the day before the exhibition w/ AIC on November 1st. I didn't expect him to get much time in the first two games, but now with a couple weeks of practice under his belt, and sitting on the bench watching live game speed, I expect him to get playing time in this tournament, assuming he's healthy, and it sounds like he probably is healthy enough to practice and play.

I saw a picture from practice yesterday and he had no wrap on the thumb anymore

Great day to start a hot streak, isn’t it???

I can see highlight reel dunks on lobs to Gapare on the baseline in my head .

Springfield paper has Colorado favored by 7 1/2.

Go UMASS!

@MLBergman_ had this stat:
Avg Height
UM 76.8"(237)
CU 78.1"(49)

That's further down the line than I thought we'd be.

Interesting that 1.3 inches separate almost 200 spots. Our guards are mostly on the smaller side (height at least) so that might be bringing it down a bit.

How do we get the video? all I get is stats.
