Game 31, 2022-23: vs Richmond (A10 1st Rd, 3/7)

[Calmass9]

Not sure how you can watch this and not come to the conclusion this team has totally quit on its coach. This is the worst performance I've ever watched.

Will Burton outscore Umass today, there is a chance

Was going to go get some sun since I’m in some warm weather for the week but I will watch the rest of the game just to see if this happens. Lol

We tied it at 25 at the 12 minute timeout

Huge and 1 by Burton at the 8 minute timeout. 27-25, throw in Grace and it’s 40-25 5 on 2

[Quann]

I’m disgusted, sad, mad, this is just pathetic.

[capezona]

Never seen a team miss so many shots.

[Camby4Life]

Burton is out with 5:35 left at 28 points

Embarrassment.

[Camby4Life]

The Richmond band really setting the strip club mood today with their setlist. Played the Weekend The hills earlier and just came out of that timeout playing some Genuine Pony.

have not watched any of it so i cannot comment on the effort. too bad. At this stage you totally play for pride and hopefully a couple of wins to go out with a winning record. Injuries for sure this year but the level of talent and most importantly basketball IQ is severely short. partly coaching but the guys are on the court making or not making the plays or not playing defense. moving on. All of us want a team to cheer for and be excited to see them compete. Sadly we are in a 20 year shit show. Add in the football and our mens revenue sports are super troubling. Apathetic student fan base that never shows up. is there a worse job in the A10. i would say we are the king . sorry but this dumpster fire will continue and the portal will continue to decimate teams

If you had told me that the ladies were going to fare the best of the Mullins Center tenants back in the Fall, I wouldn't have been surprised, as a matter of fact I would probably have expected it. But by this margin over hoops and hockey is unacceptable. They quit on Martin and the correction/reload on the ice is unacceptable, especially given how weak Hockey East is.

Innversions, you are right----embarrassment.

Sorry but we had a nice run under DK, however short it was. Students, including myself at the time, created and grew an organized student section that eventually got us decent to great student turnouts. And if you think that was nothing, look where the fuck we are now. I'm just tired of people acting like those years didn't exist.

On the other side I think it was real poor sportsmanship when you are up 30 points and doing a full court press when we take the ball out.

This is it for men's basketball for me. Once UMass is eliminated I don't watch any more men's BB games. Still got the women to watch.

^^^^ This.

The Travis Ford and Derek Kellogg years were decently successful. Student turnout was there, fans were there, there was actual optimism around the team most years aside from DK's first couple of seasons. The program's performance since Bamford took over has been inexcusable at best.

This year is over. All the talk about it's his first year, yada yada yada, that's over. Next year we need to see some serious improvement. $1.7 million to be the 13 seed and get rolled in the pillow fight? Getting better starts tomorrow. I only care that we retain some of this core roster so we can have some continuity and are able to build instead of starting over every damn year.

This season started out so promising, but since conference play it has been an abject disaster. Everything from the injuries, the performances, the postgame admonishment from the Frank to the fan base, and even watching him sit with his arms crossed and that pout on his face. I appreciate that he's trying to teach life lessons, but the reality is he's getting paid to win basketball games. Give me wins next year, or I'll be out on this coach. Least enjoyable season I can remember in years.

I thought Frank would bring a toughness on the court. I thought we would be the team nobody wanted to play in February and March, but that's clearly not the case. Last place Loyola was licking their chops when they came to Amherst. We got out of everybody's way, displayed very little toughness, and folded down the stretch. Sorry folks, maybe it's the sting of getting blown out by 33 in the pillow fight and after a good night's sleep I'll soften up tomorrow, but this sucked. I have zero positivity at the moment.

An embarrassing ending to a very disappointing season

…… the other side I think it was real poor sportsmanship when you are up 30 points and doing a full court press when we take the ball out.
Think that are of lot of other issues to discuss here more significant that Richmond's sportsmanship……. Richmond is competing for a league championship and should be able to do what they feel they need to do to prepare for their next game! Although I highly doubt that they could get any positive for pressing UM.
REMINDER:
These two teams were a spot apart in the seeds….
