One made three pointer short of the school record of 16.

And that last Utah missed FT allowed UMass to cover the 13.5 line

Nice win against an atrocious team. Nice to see a lot of the guys lighting it up from outside the arc, but that kind of basketball will get this team nowhere. I hate live by the three die by the three basketball, but it looks like that is what we are stuck with this year. Tomorrow night's game should be a decent test.

Morgan was unconscious in the first half and Freddie started hitting when the lead was big. Still wish there was some semblance of an inside game and some semblance of running plays on offense.

I wondered what the first complaint would be after a blowout win. Now I know.
Go UMass indeed!

Another work in progress that may take the rest of the non-conference slate is playing aggressive defense without fouling. Teams are getting in the bonus way too early against us.

Liked to see the team hit shots tonight. Might be a factor of being used to the surroundings in the arena. Watched the FSU game today and it just seemed like players on both sides had trouble getting comfortable with the ball (really bouncy) and backdrop in the first half. Today, UMass seemed much more comfortable on the floor.

I somewhat agree. My only point is that in my opinion, I don't think taking 30 3-pointers is a winning strategy. Tonight it was.

Correct, we hit 16 (on 35 attempts) against the Duqies on 2/25/2009

Derek Kellogg has said the exact same thing about taking so many 3's. Why is he always complaining after big wins? He must hate UMass.
