UMWBB with a nice bounce-back win, on the road at GW, 61-55. M'women put up 22 in the 4th to seal it. www.espn.com/womens-colle... M'women finish the regular season at 11-7 in the league, a massive turnaround after last year's 2-16 rebuild. Zero road wins last season, eight this season. 📈

Rhody is next for us, but for them, they host Dayton first.

I wanna to go the UM season finale, at home for Lo-Chi on 3/8. Last Atlantic 10 (regular season) game in UM history. On the other hand, I don't wanna see us lose that one. Will just feel like another nut punch, and trends are not looking favorable for a nut punch free day.

UMass will be the 13th member of the MAC next season. NIU fully leaving in 2026 will get the MAC back to 12.

According to liminutemen on the bird site, there's about an 86% chance that UM will be in pillow fight day. Most likely seed: 11

12th in composite rank matches where we are in the current A-15 standings. Gotta get right with this mid-week bye and prepare to fight to get out of pillow fight territory.

MBB has 2 more home games, but for WBB it’s Senior Day today. umassathletics.com/news/2025/2/...

Frank postgame... Game was decided in H1. Can't keep missing shots. We're fragile right now, lost our way, scoring has become complicated. No midweek game will really help. Guys need to play with more confidence.

UMass stalls again, falls at GW, 74-52. Third straight game in the 50s for the UM offense, without Curry and Watson, and Rivera leaving early in H2 with his own injury. UM gets some much needed rest, off until next Saturday for Rhody at Mullins.

Again, let Rollie play.

Down 18 with 4:38 to play, timeout UMass. That’s certainly a choice. 66-48 Revs

Trainer Dave is still working on Rivera behind the bench. Ndjigue fell on Rivera earlier in H2.

Frank was waiting for the media timeout but GW scores again, now 46-29 and going to the line after the and-one call. 14:28 left UM’s FG shooting down to .270

Diggins rolled his left ankle pretty hard but he’s not coming out.

“Could be worse” UM on pace for another night in the 50s, trails GW 33-25 at the break. UM shooting just .276 Diggins 7-1-2 DHS and Malek both 4 & 4 Ndjigue 4 pts but 2 fouls Foster 3 & 2 Worthy 2 & 3, 2 fouls Rivera 1 & 4, 3 fouls Nate 1 board Luka 2 minutes

UM played good D for 29 seconds, got called for a foul, GW hits a 3. Ugh. 27-18 GW with 5:40 left in H1.

I think we got Jimmy Patsos as the analyst on ESPN+ He knows his stuff but I think his voice is gonna make my synch up Jay & Adam’s audio instead.

Worthy starting in Curry’s place again. Rest of the starting lineup is consistent.

No Jaylen Curry again today

Anybody looking for the radio stream: Varsity looks like it's an hour off, not starting until 6:40. Get to WEEI 105.5 directly here: www.audacy.com/stations/wee...

Pretty important triple-header for #UMass today. It’s a big year for Lax. Not exactly been the best past few years. It’s about make or break for a change, and we don’t want that. Hoops is what it is right now. 🤷‍♂️ Hockey needs a win today after the result yesterday. We got this!

HBD to one of our legends umasshoops.com/wiki/doku.ph...

Happy birthday Matt Cross. At SMU this season, Matt is averaging 12.0 (3rd on team) and 8.2 (1st), shooting .502 from the field and .396 from three. The A10 First Teamer last season could have contended for A10 POY this season.

At least we don’t take a lot, because we’re bottom 5 in all of D-I in 3pt percentage. www.ncaa.com/stats/basket...

Best wishes to Fran Dunphy as he prepares to call it a career. www.inquirer.com/college-spor... UMass against Fran at... Penn 2-0 Temple 5-7 La Salle 3-3 Total 10-10 UM coaches against Fran... John Calipari 2-0 Travis Ford 1-2 Derek Kellogg 4-4 Matt McCall 0-1 Frank Martin 3-3

Max Shulga last night against us: 19 points on only 6 field goal attempts Shot 5-6 from 3 and 4-4 from the stripe Talk about efficient

It was a 29 point smackdown at the snow covered Stu last night, as VCU took down UMass. George Templeton looks back at the game, in this latest Rams Rewind. ramsrewind.podbean.com/e/vcu-vs-uma...

Rams torch UMass from deep, dominate wire-to-wire in 80-51 win www.vcuramnation.com/articles/ram...

Facts UM 0-6 there. Had never faced the Rams prior to their joining the A10 in 2012-13.

Good read about the Destiney Philoxy -> Yahmani McKayle Brooklyn/UMass legacy. umassathletics.com/news/2025/2/...

Allen Edwards does the radio postgame... Credit to VCU for being ready Early offensive struggles got us discouraged and led to lazy D Couldn't get into rhythm Luka got early minutes over Malek & Shahid, reward for his effort in practice Gotta shake it off (1-3 in last 4) and get ready for GW
