Game 23, 2017-18: Rhode Island (1/30)

[LS71]

In the Time Flies department, UMass hasn't beaten a ranked team at the Mullins in over ten years.

UMass is due.

uri-uri-uri...NE!

[Berkman]

RH is sitting on the bench so just maybe he will get his grades in shape to play next year. Looking pretty good so far.

[Slapthefloor93]

Hustling hard. Been waiting for this team to play angry.

[JoleonLescottsHair]

Good effort from our boys. I despise uri.

[devildawg3010]

Proud of our guys tonight. Don't remember the last time I've felt this content with a loss. They got heart, they did not check out.

[R&G]

Absolutely bullshit call on the pipkins lane violation. Great effort by UMass tonight. The refs were sleeping at the end just like uri was

[capezona]

Wow! Really impressed with this bunch. They can hold their heads up after this one. Hines came to play. What a comeback!

[bunkerhill87]

Super encouraging. Almost had them. Great effort for being so short handed. Uri shot the lights out too. Something to build on

[TheInsider]

A really good effort by the team. They didn't look done with the season. They played hard. Coach said on the radio show that they focused more on themselves in practices and had a couple good days. Hopefully they can keep that type of effort up and grab a few wins to finish out the year.

[AlPatino]

Great effort. Fun to watch. Sorry i couldn't be there tonight

Absolutely bullshit call on the pipkins lane violation. Great effort by UMass tonight. The refs were sleeping at the end just like uri was

Pip left a half second early. Should be able to review that though.

[wmmmfan]

That was one hell of a game, team just kept working hard. Pip and Pierre will be fun to watch the next two seasons.

[mlaconte459]

Top 25 Urine needed a couple of gifts from the officials & A-10 gods to beat a team with 6 scholarship players. Screw them and their douchebag fans, can’t wait to sweep their ass next year

[uz2b-len]

So what did the NBC announcers say about those 2 calls?

[Jackson96]

Really impressed with the way they hung in there even though they were overmatched. Rhody shot over 60% from the floor but they are really good so I feel better about the d we played then I did the last few games out. All of Rhodys guards can play - that Dowtin kid is probably my favorite.

Anywho, nice to have an encouraging effort.
