They are completely outmatched, but showing toughness and not beating themselves. If they can keep that up through the 2nd half it’ll be the best performance of the year.

Scary how much they looked like every other UMass team since Whipple left. Nice start, momentum on your side, then an inexcusable turnover leads to complete collapse. Terrible defense from the head coach with defensive pedigree. 0 pass rush. If protecting the ball is the priority, Rose should be on ...

Gotta consider Wembley as a 1 and done at UMass.


Jeez man, can you just be happy that we got a player like this? He hasn't played one second of college ball and you're already marking him as out the door. :roll:


Some folks are always mad—too good of a recruit? “Won’t stay!” Not good ...

I am happy, just starting to look at each year as a stand-alone team. I think ...

Gotta consider Wembley as a 1 and done at UMass. Goes to a lower level conference, gets plenty of playing time and showcases himself to the high majors for next year. Works out for both sides as long as UMass gets some good production out of him this year. Gotta hope we can have bigger impact ...

I didn’t like those 2 Minnesota goals directly off the faceoff, so hoping UMass cleans that up. Western Michigan is the #1 scoring offense, we’ll need Hrabal a little sharper than he was Thursday.

I’ll miss the A-10, but everything wrong with the MAC (no at large bid, basketball irrelevance, best players transfer up) has been UMass’ A-10 reality for a generation now. We can’t even keep guys that seemingly like the school and coach (Cross and RJ).

The floor and ceiling are both lower for us ...

Starting with URI, I was going to be happy with 2-2 over these 4 games. SLU was a classic improbable UMass choke job, the worst I can remember under Frank. But a win sets them up to continue playing meaningful basketball down the stretch. The team has shown resiliency this year, and they need more ...

Took just a little too long to find the right line up combination. Need to bounce back Saturday.

Don't love that Lasalle just beat URI. We'll be dealing with an angry URI team in Kingston on Wed.

They couldn't miss at the Ryan Center last year. This is a big game to continue to grab confidence and momentum, with another tough road game following on Sat.

I think we match up decently with ...

After how non-con went, the team deserves credit for the 3-3 league record. No one would’ve been surprised if they folded. Still very limited shooting, but they’re playing a hard aggressive brand of basketball. Keep making it hard on your opponents and hope for the best.

I’m assuming Jacobson and/or other big donors have pledged to cover any financial shortcomings in this plan. We’re taking a leap of faith to think all of this will be paid for by “new revenue streams” that aren’t from boosters.

No excuses not to be a top MAC team if all this is true.

Good for Asare, one of the few guys that really developed under the old staff.

I liked the Frank hire, but him navigating today’s game was my concern then and still the concern now. How many kids want to play for him when they can go somewhere else.

If he can find his spirit and is willing to self-reflect/adjust his approach, I’m sure he could bring UMass success in the MAC ...

Honestly, there’s not a single name I’d be worried about if they entered the portal. Yes, Haston and Hairston are promising young QBs and I hope they’d stay, but not irreplaceable. Overall, just hoping not too many guys go so there’s some level of roster continuity and the new staff doesn’t have to ...
