URI opened at home versus Maine and drew 5,410, UMass opened at home versus LSU and drew 5,182. Need I say more about Maine. UMass held it’s A-10 home opener against St. Joseph’s and drew 4,621. URI opened versus Saint Louis and drew 4,510. UMass’ smallest A-10 crowd was 4,345 for La Salle, URI’s s...

I really don't know why we didn't press you guys more. Especially when Esho was in, our press is really good with him at the point of it.

Under 5 minutes it becomes focus and prep. . And coaching and adjustments. There is no question not having a PG is an issue in late game sets but can we get one solid play? How about coming out of time outs? Totally agree that you guys could do great things with a solid PG. Do you have one coming i...

As I said earlier even with a loss to URI today you would have still been in just closer to the bubble. If you win the games your supposed to (us, Mason, duq) then you're fine.

And New Mexico is a top 25 rpi win.

Would have been nice if UMass had gotten EC. We were in on him bad, even hired his AAU coach as an assistant, still couldn't get him. He'll be making me sick for the next 3 plus years!

And Mr. VCU here's our tourney resume that you think isn't good enough "if" we had lost to URI: RPI: 11 or 13, depending on who you ask. SOS: 41 Non-Conference SOS: 22 3 wins vs the Top 50 11-4 against the Top 100 Haven't play anyone with an rpi over 200 Wins against Providence, LSU, New M...

There was no forearm to his side, but I'll admit most of our fans would be complaining too if the shoe was on the other foot.

Losing to URI isn't going keep us out of the tourney, unless we completely collapse over the last 8 games we are in. Our rpi is way too high and our SOS is good. Keep dreaming folks. The game itself might not keep u out completely... but considering your remaining schedule.... you'd almost have to ...

Hey all, UMass fan here. Probably coming down for the game on February the 9th. Was wondering which sections are behind the visitors bench? And if not there where's the best spot to watch the game from? Any other info that visitor should know would be greatly appreciated! Thanks all!
