 Breaking out of a 16-minute cold-shooting spell in the first half, the UMass basketball team built up a big lead early in the second half and coasted to a 98-63 victory over an out-classed but game St. Anselm's quintet before 4200 fans at the Cage home-opener last night.  Breaking out of a 16-minute cold-shooting spell in the first half, the UMass basketball team built up a big lead early in the second half and coasted to a 98-63 victory over an out-classed but game St. Anselm's quintet before 4200 fans at the Cage home-opener last night.

 Also starting his first tilt was junior Chris Coffin, and he did a fine job all around. He scored but six points, but he grabbed seven rebs and was a very important team player when he was out on the floor.  Also starting his first tilt was junior Chris Coffin, and he did a fine job all around.

 As far as that first half went, it was an entirely different ballgame as the score was frozen, 27-27, after 16 minutes and 15 seconds of action had elapsed. UMass' shooting was off, and St. Anselm's was staying close by virtue of playing a deliberate style of basketball.  As far as that first half went, it was an entirely different ballgame as the score was frozen, 27-27, after 16 minutes and 15 seconds of action had elapsed.

 HOOP NOTES— With one minute and one second to go, Erving was taken out of the game, and received a standing ovation of about 40 seconds... Head UMass coach Jack Leaman summed up his feelings after the game in one word, "Great!" UMass shot a fine 52 percent from the floor for the whole game, recording that mark after shooting only 44.7 in the first half... Vogeley was fourth highest scorer for the Redmen, with ten points in only 14 minutes of play... He was just a little off from playing a really great game as he picked up some quick fouls and missed a couple of hoops by only inches....Bill Kesgen, Tom Austin and Bill Greeley played well for UMass in reserve roles. ...The Redmen also shot well from the foul line--87 percent... Whichever referee called the traveling violations on Erving must have been watching the guy for the first time... Because of the way Erving can control the movements of his body, it is often easy to mistake one of his steps for three of another basketball player... How about those new uniforms! The reaction to these new spanking-white UMass shirts, shorts and warm-up clothing was very much in the affirmative whomever one talked to… They sure did brighten up the dull yellow-aura of the Cage. HOOP NOTES— With one minute and one second to go, Erving was taken out of the game, and received a standing ovation of about 40 seconds...

 Led by the shooting Peter Trow, the rebounding of John Olson and the passing of [[pitino_rick|Rick Pitino]], the UMass freshman basketball team soundly defeated St. Anselm's frosh, 85-69.  Led by the shooting Peter Trow, the rebounding of John Olson and the passing of [[pitino_rick|Rick Pitino]], the UMass freshman basketball team soundly defeated St. Anselm's frosh, 85-69.

 The 17-point victory was quite satisfying, but said assistant Coach Ray Ellerbrook, "We definitely have played better ball. I think that there was a great deal of nervousness and eagerness on the part of the players in their first collegian game. Once we got warmed up though, we started to come around."  The 17-point victory was quite satisfying, but said assistant Coach Ray Ellerbrook, "We definitely have played better ball.

 The early game nervousness was best reflected in the foul line statistics. In the first half the Little Redmen managed only four of nine free throws, whereas the second half saw them making nine of 11.  The early game nervousness was best reflected in the foul line statistics.
