Game 28: GW (Senior Night)

Post by **MikeUMA** » Mon Mar 02, 2009 9:35 am

This is a big night for a couple reasons...
1. We really need this W to lock up a spot in the A-10 Tourney.
2. It's Senior Night for:
- Chris Lowe
- Tony Gaffney
- Luke Bonner

This is the last time you'll see them play at home.

Get out to The Bill and support your team. Chris Lowe's assist record alone should earn your gratitude.

This year's seniors represent some tumultuous years for UMass hoops.

The high point was last year's run in the NIT.

I wish them well.

I also thank the seniors and wish them the best. They provided us with some memorable moments and some very entertaining games over the past 4 years. I'm sure all the transitions have not been easy for them.

Will be at the Bill as usual. Let's get out and give them a good send-off!

yes we were able to swing the t-shirts. That alone will get another 1000 in attendance, at least.

there will probably be more people at the cage watching the local hs tournament games.

Yeah, but are they giving tee shirts away?

Be nice if the fans who show up every game could get one

Definitely hoping for a good send off for CLowe Bonner and Gaffney they've all done a lot of things in very different ways for this program and I wish them all the best of luck in the future.

anyone know what will be on the shirt? UMass seems to be pretty good at making a black/white out shirt, but i have no idea what theyll do for senior night. cant remember the last time UMass did a non black/white out tshirt for a tshirt promo

i think a really cool tshirt would be 3 caricatures of lowe, bonner, and gaffney in their UMass uniforms (for those who dont know, a caricature is a big head and little body). but that would probably cost a decent amount.

my guess is a generic UMass basketball shirt with senior night and lowe/bonner/gaffney's names on the back

anyone know if there is a game watch in the DC/B More area for the game?

Can't make the game, but could anyone pick me up a shirt? For whatever reason, I will remember this group of seniors. They were a quirky bunch and a senior night T would be a nice take home. I'll even throw you 5 bucks and pay for shipping. PM me if you can grab one.
