Game 11, 2025-26: Florida State in Sunrise FL (12/13)

[Sheck]

They'll clean that end of game stuff up, not too worried about it.

Really impressive win overall. These guys were coming off of the BC game, had finals the next day, then had to jump on a plane Friday and come play another P5 opponent. Let's enjoy it.

Tried to give it away, but that was a big win. Who woulda thought giving up 95 we would have won.
Had some passive moments & some stupid moments, but we also had some very good moments that gotta give the team a lot of credit. Always better to win , even when you play bad in spots.
Good win UMass, keep rolling!

The guys were having fun and playing well together. Awesome to see! This is looking like a connected team that's beginning to understand their roles.

We can clean up turnovers and handling pressure better. Otherwise, reason for optimisim.

Big week for these guys, two ACC wins. Gaining confidence going into league play. Different players leading this team every game, they are starting to believe in one another.

[RageintheCage]

These guys have me looking forward to the second half of the season once they really jell. Great back to back wins against quality!

[Carl Spackler]

Great win....always things to clean up but looked really good for stretches today. Very balanced got a lot of points from DHS, Parker, Banks and Bettiol. Love what we're seeing from Clerc, has a nose for the ball, as soon as he gets a little more comfortable/acclimated he should be a nice big off the bench. Danny had some moments...couple really nice dimes and a few good drives where he finished. Sprinkled in a few bad passes but the good outweighed the bad this afternoon for sure.
Boys have to be feeling great, will be a happy flight home! Frank might even smile.

Nothing more to add other than I think the refs let FSU get away with a few defensive plays that could have been called fouls at the end of the game. But as I said after the BC game, we did a lot right and a lot wrong and I don't give a rat's ass. Our best win of the year and we're 2-0 against the ACC. Bring on Duke!

I do want to give some props to Clerc. He may turn out to be a major contributor as the season progresses. 19 minutes is his high for the year and I'll take 8 points and 5 boards from him as the backup to Bettiol.

Big win against a top 100 rpi ACC opponent that was basically on the road. Time to run the MAC.

[vanmeter]

Great Win!

Really hit it big in the portal this year. Banks, Bettiol, KJ, and Clerc all big contributors!/ Considering we lost to these guys by over 30 points last year, this win was extremely satisfying.

Been a long time, maybe T Ford, where I’ve seen a team look so confident on offense. Everyone just looked like they knew their spot, where everyone else was, and made the right passes. Some of the post entry passes were things of beauty

[Steve81]

Wow, what a great win. Started from the beginning late and just finished watch. Looks Like a great season.

[Floridafan71]

We have some very good players and not much depth.We should get better as season goes on and be a force in MAC. Excellent that we could play with such intensity after a finals day and a trip to Florida and having the energy to play after a win as important as Boston College. No letdown can somebody tell me how to get the post conference interview. I’ve tried Varsity network, but it doesn’t seem to appear on that now if somebody could provide me with a link, that would be great congratulations son beating too ACC schools in a few days. This team has so much better chemistry than last year and the stars have improved.

[DoctorJ]

Another nice win.

WE can see how Frank's coaching is starting to pay off. This was a struggling team and now they are putting together wins away from the Bill. We are starting to see better bench play, especially from Clerc.

[NilesGold]

Is Frank trying to lose this game? Why did he abandon the zone defense in favor of man to man that Florida State is a torching?

Glad he went back to the zone almost exclusively in that 2nd half, our ability to stop dribble penetration and defend the paint are both big problems in man to man defense.

There were definitely some things I would've done differently in that one, but they pulled out the win and are starting to find their stride as they head into conference play. I give Frank shit when they lose or struggle against bad teams, so I will give him credit when they beat a solid team like FSU.

Ndjigue really struggled today, I liked Frank's decision to have some 3G sets instead of playing Wimbley.

Very happy to see DHS was the most aggressive in attacking the rim that he's been all season.

Superb win on the road against FSU. Kudos to Coach Frank and the Minutemen !! Team has improved game to game w/plenty of room for improvement and mistakes to clean up. Go UMass !!
