* UMass discovered and self-reported clerical errors that resulted in ten men's basketball players receiving extra financial assistance.  The errors took place from the 2014-15 to 2016-17 seasons.  The NCAA considered this to be "impermissible financial aid render(ing) the student-athletes ineligible."  Therefore, the NCAA considered us to have used ineligible players, and would [[news20201016_ncaa_ruling_2014-17|vacate the results of those games]].  The ruling was appealed and the original decision was affirmed.  According to a report,((https://www.gazettenet.com/NCAA-denies-UMass-appeal-on-men-s-basketball-women-s-tennis-infractions-43598464)) all wins in those three seasons would technically be vacated, thus reducing our 14-18 record to 0-32.

Bears have no answer for UM's 3-point attack.  Minutemen tie a program record with 16 makes from deep, led by Hinds with 6 and Clark's 5.  Hinds puts up another 24-pt game, and Anderson's 12 boards are a career high.|
|   11/23   |   vs [[opponent_clemson|Clemson]]   |   @#ddffdd:W 82-65   |   Clark & Davis (25 each)   |   Berger (9)   |   4-0   |   --   |Men Who Speak Up event game, in Las Vegas.  UM hits another 16 from 3, and Clemson never gets into gear.  Davis makes a career-best 7 threes (on 10 shots).  Hinds adds 21 points.  Berger's 9 boards are a career best.|
|   11/25   |   vs [[opponent_creighton|Creighton]]   |   @#ffdddd:L 97-76   |   Davis (19)   |   Coleman (9)   |   4-1   |   --   |Men Who Speak Up event championship game, in Las Vegas.  UM's 3-point game goes cold (3-16), and dish just 4 assists on the night.  Jays hit 9 of 11 FGs in a 5 min stretch in the 2nd half, and 4 of those were 3s.  CU's 7 point lead built to 20, and UM never recovered.|
|   12/2   |   [[opponent_boston_university|Boston University]]   |   @#ddffdd:W 99-69   |   Clark & Davis (20 each)   |   Coleman & Holloway (7 each)   |   5-1   |   --   |UM never trails in the rout.

UM goes nearly 6½ minutes without a field goal in the second half.  Tough shooting day for Davis (4-18 FGs), Hinds (0-5), Coleman (1-7).  Clark 5-9 from 3, rest of team just 3-17.  Berger 14 pts, Holloway 8 & 6.|

UM hoists 30 threes on the night, but hits just 7 (.233).|

Kellogg doesn't use one of two remaining timeouts to draw up a final play, and team doesn't get a great shot as time expires.  Berger scores 14 to tie his career best.|

Clark's 30 and Holloway's 13 also help shake off pesky UNO.

PC's Bentil scores a career high 32.  Friars dish 28 assists on 34 made field goals.  Space debuts for UM with 11 and 9.|

Bona's .596 was a UM-opponent high since [[game20101211_seton_hall|Seton Hall in 2010]].  UM snares 16 offensive rebounds, but that doesn't overcome SBU's hot shooting.  Bergantino has a solid game with 13 points (career high) and 6-7 FGs.  Davis injury scare, but he returns and plays 31 minutes.|
|   1/12   |   [[opponent_george_washington|George Washington]]   |   @#ffdddd:L 81-70   |   Clark (19)   |   Hinds & Hines (5 each)   |   8-8   |   1-3   |UM shoots 49% from the floor, but GW out-hustles Minutemen.  GW wins the glass, shoots 42% from 3, and 29-34 from the line (vs 15-20 for UM).|

Berger's 17 is new career high.  Hinds (13 points) reaches the 1K scoring mark for his total college career.  SJU defense shuts down Davis (10 pts, 4-12 FG) and Clark (9 pts, 2-5 FG).|

UM shoots just 5-27 from 3 (18.5%).  Rams' pressure defense leads to 10 steals.  Space hits 3/4 court shot at halftime buzzer.  7-game slide is longest since 2003-04 season.|
|   2/2   |   [[opponent_rhode_island|Rhode Island]]   |   @#ddffdd:W 61-56 (OT)   |   Davis (20)   |   Coleman (9)   |   9-12   |   2-7   |Under-manned Rhody still pushes UM to OT, but Minutemen prevail behind Davis' 20 and Clark's 17.  Coleman logs 27 minutes off the bench, snares 9 boards Rhody wins the total rebounding numbers, 48-40.|

Backcourt attack returns: Clark 22, Davis & Hinds 18 each.  Berger leaves game after collision, goes into concussion evaluation.|

Hinds shatters his previous career best (24) with 13-20 shooting, including 7-8 from three.  Davis adds 26, Clark & Space 17 each.  Space's 17 rebounds are a new college career best.  UM whistled for 4 technical fouls after just 2 in the entire season before today.|

Hinds adds 19 for UM, but Davis has an off-night, scoring just 4 on just 2-12 shooting.  No one other than Clark goes to the line for UM.|

Donte Clark appears to hit a game-winning three, but review confirms it was shot just after time expired.  Hinds adds 25 for UM.|
|   3/3   |   at [[opponent_rhode_island|Rhode Island]]   |   @#ffdddd:L 68-50   |   Holloway (11)   |   Clark (9)   |   12-17   |   5-12   |UM gets off to an atrocious start, scoring just 12 in the first half.  Small second-half run, but not nearly enough.  UM's backcourt trio struggles: Clark 10 (3-9 FG), Hinds 8 (3-16 FG), Davis 7 (1-6 FG).|

==== Series ====
  * FGCU (Away) - This season's game returns the favor for FGCU playing us in Springfield in December 2014.
  * Providence (Home) - This season's game starts a new home-and-home series.  UM will visit Providence in 2016-17.((https://twitter.com/JonRothstein/status/597720583384760320))((http://www.gazettenet.com/home/15737721-95/umass-notebook-uri-ad-thorr-bjorn-turns-down-chance-to-return-to-umass))
  * There are several other games on this season's schedule which are unclear about being series or one-off games: BU (Home), Central Florida (Away), LIU-Brooklyn (Home), New Orleans (Home), Ole Miss (Springfield).  Will seek confirmation on those.
  * South Carolina - UM will visit in 2016-17, and host in 2017-18.((http://www.masslive.com/umassbasketball/index.ssf/2015/08/umass_basketball_to_play_home-.html))((http://www.gazettenet.com/blogs/umasssports/18379253-95/story.html))

==== Notes ====
  * There is no triple-header event in Boston in the fall of 2015.((http://www.gazettenet.com/blogs/umasssports/16162934-95/td-garden-college-basketball-tripleheader-off-in-2015))  UMass had played [[opponent_boston_college|Boston College]] in the event in 2013 and 2014.
  * UMass and [[opponent_boston_college|Boston College]] will not play this season.  With the exception of 2012-13, the two had played each other every year since 1995-96.
