Game 12, 2025-26: Kent State (12/20)

[Camby4Life]

Need to protect home court in the MAC. Checking in on Steve81 on his big day. He’s got to be on a MAC high after that blowout bowl win.

[Steve81]

I'll be at the game, leaving shortly.

Talked with the wife about buying a season ticket next year. Flexing the Tuesday games and bring the wife or others.

[TheInsider]

Would be cool to make some shots

[inthescoop]

Placide plays aggressively and is an actual offensive threat unlike other players on the court today.

Congrats to Bettiol for hitting 1k points in his career, glad it happened at UMass

Kent St. looking more active and disciplined and better coached.

Expecting a 2nd half shift.

[TheInsider]

Maybe the our players listened to the fans that said we we're too good for the MAC.
They took 12 more shots than us that have... not gonna win like that.

[DanaDingle3]

When you lose every facet of the game -- turnovers, rebounds, shooting, you really have no chance, right?

[MikeA]

Kent St. looking more active and disciplined and better coached.

Expecting a 2nd half shift
hope you are right

[inthescoop]

The Gonzaga of the MAC falls early

[DanaDingle3]

Extremely disappointing loss in our first game in the MAC at home. Showed good fight in the 2nd half, which was overshadowed by a putrid 1st half. Really too bad

[TheInsider]

Classic UMass.... loses it first league game, at home no less, in a new league that it was "too good for". I am more convinced every day that Bamford is cursed.

On brand for this program unfortunately. Too busy sniffing their farts from beating two bottom level ACC teams.

[inthescoop]

Unfortunately we couldn’t throw a rock in the ocean today.. miss after miss after miss. Defense ultimately kept us in the game. But our offense was just way worse. There are players on our team that the team wouldn’t mind leaving wide open all day.

Gillespie is far better than anyone on our team and guess what Kent State kept him for all 4 years but it’s all about the NIL money right?

Anyways, we thought A10 refs were bad, be ready for MAC refs

[kd68]

We need to stop blaming the refs and just start winning,
