+ | AMHERST -- They told [[calipari_john|John Calipari]] not to even bother showing up. | ||
+ | |||
+ | After the Massachusetts basketball coach vowed Monday to walk off the | ||
+ | floor before last night' | ||
+ | gambling allegations levied at Rhode Island, some people told coach Cal not | ||
+ | to leave home, because college kids wouldn' | ||
+ | off-color sign. | ||
+ | |||
+ | But Calipari showed up, spoke to UMass fans over the public address | ||
+ | system before the game and stuck around after no taunting was heard. The | ||
+ | Minutemen were fortunate that he did stay; 25th-ranked UMass struggled | ||
+ | with its scrappy Atlantic 10 foe for most of the first half and trailed by 1 | ||
+ | point with 14:37 left. Calipari called time out and delivered a tongue-lashing, | ||
+ | and his team responded with a 14-0 run, then held on for a 96-88 win. | ||
+ | |||
+ | The victory in the regular-season finale improved UMass' record to 25-4 | ||
+ | overall, 13-3 in the league. The win total eclipses by two the previous | ||
+ | school record, set by the [[erving_julius|Julius Erving]]-led 1970-71 team. Having won the | ||
+ | Atlantic 10 regular-season title, UMass will be the top seed in this | ||
+ | weekend' | ||
+ | of Saturday' | ||
+ | |||
+ | Rhode Island, which has played well in the wake of the allegations, | ||
+ | 19-8 and 9-7. The Rams are seeded fourth in the tournament and will meet | ||
+ | George Washington in the first round. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Calipari praised the effort of the Rams, who hardly looked like the team | ||
+ | blown out by UMass in January. Trailing, 43-38, they outscored UMass, | ||
+ | 13-7, to start the second half and took a 51-50 lead with 14:37 left. | ||
+ | |||
+ | "For URI coach [[skinner_al|Al Skinner]] to get his team to play as they have shows he | ||
+ | has done an outstanding job," said Calipari, "and that should get him coach | ||
+ | of the year honors." | ||
+ | |||
+ | Skinner, a UMass grad, said he was appreciative that Calipari "put | ||
+ | himself on the line" with his pregame remarks and added, "With this being | ||
+ | my alma mater, I would have been disappointed if the fans acted negatively | ||
+ | toward my club for any reason. Fans up here have always cheered for the | ||
+ | home team, never against the opposition." | ||
+ | |||
+ | UMass looked too much like it did the last time it cracked the Top 25 poll | ||
+ | -- Jan. 6. That was a first for the school, but the Minutemen lost their next | ||
+ | [[game19920108_west_virginia|game to West Virginia]] two days later at home. | ||
+ | |||
+ | "That kept flashing back in my mind," said senior guard Anton Brown, who | ||
+ | took matters into his own hands after Calipari called the timeout. Brown | ||
+ | dished out an assist to junior center [[williams_harper|Harper Williams]] (who scored on a fast- | ||
+ | break layup) to get the run going, then scored 7 consecutive points to put | ||
+ | UMass up, 59-51, with 12:55 left. Senior forward [[herndon_will|Will Herndon]] and | ||
+ | freshman guard [[Jerome Malloy]] capped the run with a bucket apiece, putting | ||
+ | UMass up, 64-51, with 11:44 to go. | ||
+ | |||
+ | "The difference between this game and the West Virginia game is that no | ||
+ | one stepped up against West Virginia," | ||
+ | McCoy]] and Will carried us. In the second half, Anton and Harper carried | ||
+ | us, and that shows our depth." | ||
+ | |||
+ | URI cut the lead to 5 in the last three minutes, but the Minutemen hit 10 of | ||
+ | their last 13 free throws to seal the win. Brown led UMass with 22 points. | ||
+ | URI center Jeff Kent led all scorers with a career-high 35. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Skinner said he was pleased that his team has continued to play well in the | ||
+ | wake of the allegations of an on-campus gambling ring. "We have been | ||
+ | resilient, when you consider the youth on this ball club," he said. "We didn't | ||
+ | win but we continued to come at them." | ||
+ | |||
+ | Calipari said he had no doubt he would be in the gym to coach his team. | ||
+ | “People say you can't tell college kids what to do, but I say that's wrong," | ||
+ | he said. "If I don't say anything, I'm not doing my job, and should be fired." | ||
