Ugly or not, I'll take it! Going to need more than this but these are not games they would have won the last few years.

Frank is a screamer, I just hope these kids don't tune him out. NICE WIN.

Great win! Need to work on shortening some of those passes, and then catch them

What a tournament. Hard fought 3 games down there. Gotta be excited as well that the ceiling is much higher for this team.

They gutted out another Win. Tough team and not easy considering it’s the 3rd game in 4 days. Frank is a yeller but so were Jack Leaman and John Calipari. If you’re a tough kid you can take it - the end result is if you’re a team player all you care about is winning. Go UMass! another hard fought win in a tough tournament.

UMASS wins the Myrtle Beach Championship!!

Have to work on their offense against a tight man to man defense.

Great weekend for the program, for the kids, and for Frank. Really excited to see where the season ends up. This is a tough, tough team.

Wishful thinking, but even the fact I'm thinking it is probably a good sign: We may get a vote or two this week.

Their defense kept them out ahead even when the offense went clogged toilet. Charlotte’s defense picked up in that second half and we weren’t very strong with the ball. Our D kept playing though — and Charlotte isn’t particularly explosive — and the lead never really felt unsafe (to me at least.)
Nice to have plenty of things to work on while winning. We really struggle finishing inside and don’t really have a guy that can consistently get his own shot, but they compete out there and that’s going to keep them in a lot of games.
