The Alumni Association is having a pregame event starting at 4:30pm, as a PSA for anyone thinking of making the trip here in New England. I'll be making the trip from Maine, hit me up via PM if you are interested in attending and have yet to register.

And for the record, I hate tOSU, and Ricordati and Torgerson are DB's.

Umass is favored by 2.5. This game will likely determine whether or not we have a winning record, both in conference and overall.

Technically we have a losing record already. I refuse to count games against Miami-Hamilton and Ohio Wesleyan as wins. They are scrimmage games at best.

+1

A pet peeve of mine as well. No issue with playing these non-D1 games if we want to keep the team fresh, but they shouldn't count in our record. We are really 13-14, Miami is 26-0, etc.

UMass fans have every right, maybe more so than Ohio fans, to be upset with how their season is going.

The Minutemen entered MAC play with an 8-3 record including wins v. Oregon St., Boston College and Florida St. Not powerhouses but nice wins before starting conference play. They have one of the best pure pt guards in a league that is loaded with quality point guards in freshman Carbuccia (really impressed me when UMass visited the Convo and second in the MAC in assists at 6.3/g); one of the best true post players in Bettiol (3rd in the MAC with 8 reb/g); and one of the better perimeter scorers in the MAC in Banks. It's been a case where the sum is NOT greater than the parts this season as UMass has struggled with many losses that could have gone either way.

Freshman ass play by Hadaway to foul a three point shooter on a BLOB at the end of the shot clock.

Sheldon helping to dig Jeff's grave. Jeff gets what he deserves by constantly running him out there for 30 minutes a night.

The season can’t end soon enough.

At least Jeff can’t lose to his Daddy again in the MAC quarters. Have fun Sendy.

Hadaway has to lead the MAC in arms in the air after a foul. This team is such BS. I was a huge critic of Saul but ALL of his teams would crush us. Mike Laster would kill these dudes. Heck, James Gollon and Gavin Block would torch this collection of Nancies. Good riddance Sheldon, Breath, Hada"no"way and probably Simmons and Conners. Please stay Burris, Kuany, Kelly, Fisher and Elliott. Please.

On the plus side, we finally saw a bigger lineup and more of Kuany’s offensive ceiling/athleticism.

The down side, too little too late. This team isn’t winning another game this season.

I can't believe Sheldon's replacement next year won't be an improvement. The same can be said for whoever is our first big man off the bench compared to Breath this year. It's going to be a major challenge to replace Pav at the point. And all three of these replacements are probably not currently on our roster.

Don’t count on Simmons next year. He will be taking his flexes…I mean talent…elsewhere.

If we get a new coach we can remake this team in a moment's notice. If it's Boals it is one more year.
