The [color="DarkRed"]UMass Minutemen[/color] (2-1) flew across the country to take on the [color="DarkOrange"]Oregon State Beavers[/color] (3-2). The first half of the game was back-and-forth, featuring 14 lead changes and 12 ties. In the last minute of the half, the Beavers scored the last two buckets and took a 39-35 lead into the locker room. The second half, the Beavers kept that minimal lead and never allowed the Minutemen to tie it up or take the lead. After some late game free throws, the Beavers won 82-74.
The Minutemen shot 50% from the floor but only 6-19 from three. We won the rebound battle 29-26, but had five more turnovers than the Beavers and gave up ten more points in the paint. OSU center [color="DarkOrange"]Josh Morris[/color] finished with 16 big points, missing only one of his eight shots, in leading the Beavers to a win.

Heading back to Amherst, the [color="DarkRed"]Massachusetts Minutemen[/color] (2-2) host the [color="Navy"]Monmouth Hawks[/color] (2-3), looking to get back in the win column. This one, as you may figure, wasn't too close. The teams traded buckets early to a 2-2 tie, but the Minutemen rolled to a 69-53 win. Although the UMass defense forced 22 turnovers, they still allowed the Hawks to shoot 51.1% from the floor including 5-10 from deep. The FG% defense early on is a definite concern for Coach Sanders. Senior point guard [color="DarkRed"]Robb Ezell[/color] exploded for a career-high 25 points.

[color="Green"]The Hawaii Warriors[/color] (2-3) march in to the Mullins Center and stun the [color="DarkRed"]Massachusetts Minutemen[/color] (3-2) by stealing a win, 61-50. UMass shot 17-53 from the floor (32.1%) and connected on only one of their 14 attempts from deep. Hawaii dominated the glass 40-26 and proved to be the difference in this one.

What is going on?!? The [color="DarkRed"]UMass Minutemen[/color] (3-3) traveled to take on the lowly [color="DarkOrchid"]Kentucky Wesleyan Panthers[/color] (1-5) and get stunned!

The Commonwealth Classic featuring the [color="Yellow"]Boston College Eagles[/color] (4-4) and the [color="DarkRed"]Massachusetts Minutemen[/color] (3-4) is the biggest rivalry game for each of these teams out of their respect conferences every season. This game is huge for recruiting implications for in-state recruits. Fortunately for UMass, this one wasn't close.
The Minutemen had the lead the entire game and never looked back. Their lead continued to grow up until the final buzzer with score ending at 69-47. The Minutemen woke up and shot 50% from the floor to the Eagles' 36%. UMass also attempted ten more free throws and had the Eagles in foul trouble all game long. [color="DarkRed"]Robb Ezell[/color] was big again tonight with 21 points.

The lowly [color="Red"]Bellarmrine Knights[/color] (1-6) come in to the Mullins Center and hang with the [color="DarkRed"]UMass Minutemen[/color] (4-4), but the upset fell short as the maroon and white pull out a 65-52 win. Forcing 20 turnovers was a huge reason for the UMass win. Center [color="DarkRed"]Travis Arnold[/color] (21 points, 7 boards) was also too much for the Knights to handle in the paint. Freshman [color="DarkRed"]Ryan Mardis[/color] saw his first action since the season opening loss to Florida. He logged 11 minutes off the bench, poured in nine points on 4-5 shooting, but only 1-4 from the line. He added one rebound and four turnovers. Jason Barber is still firmly glued to the bench behind a stable of solid big men.

[color="DarkRed"]Jason Prince[/color] had a game-high and career-high 20 points in leading the way in the win. [color="DarkRed"]Ryan Mardis[/color] saw action in his second straight game. He put up ten shots in 11 minutes, but only connected on two of them, while hauling in three boards as well.

The [color="DarkRed"]UMass Minutemen [/color](6-4) face perhaps their biggest challenge before the conference schedule today as they head to [color="Red"]South Carolina[/color] (7-4). The SEC handed UMass a big loss to open the season as the Florida Gators dominated, but that did not happen tonight. The aggressive nature of UMass led to 22 free throws for the road team as the Gamecocks attempted just six en route to a 70-63 win. That was the difference in the game as almost every statistical comparison was just about even. Big man [color="DarkRed"]Travis Arnold[/color] put in work down low as he scored a game-high 17 points and grabbed six boards.

[color="Red"]Dayton[/color] (10-7) vs. [color="DarkRed"]Massachusetts[/color] (12-5)
Before hosting the Dayton Flyers tonight, the UMass Minutemen were winners of nine of their last games. After tonight, make it ten of the last eleven. A 61-55 home win brings the Minutemen' record to 13-5, including 6-1 in conference. That's good for a tie for first in the Atlantic 10 Conference with the Richmond Spiders who sport the same exact record. Richmond, once ranked in the top-25, has now stumbled out of the rankings and leaves the conference open for the taking.

Two bitter rivals take the floor. Temple was once a top-25 team in the nation, but a 4-3 start in A-10 play has brought them back down to earth. In a hard fought battle, UMass ballooned their largest lead to 15 points, but Temple fought back to cut it within two. After a couple late free throws, the Minutemen pulled out an 82-77 win. The Minutemen were on fire from the floor, shooting a scintillating 58%.

Another game where the Minutemen find themselves with a 15-point second half lead, another game where they cling on to a close win. This time, the Minutemen get themselves a 77-73 win at home. Both teams shot 50+% from the floor. The Hawks hit all four of their three-point attempts, but the Minutemen were nine of ten from deep and forced eight more turnovers. St. Joseph's kept it close by winning the battle of the glass, 27-20, but it wasn't enough to get a win.

[color="DarkRed"]St. Joseph's[/color] (15-6) vs. [color="DarkRed"]Massachusetts[/color] (14-5)
Another game where the Minutemen find themselves with a 15-point second half lead, another game where they cling on to a close win. This time, the Minutemen get themselves a 77-73 win at home. Both teams shot 50+% from the floor. The Hawks hit all four of their three-point attempts, but the Minutemen were nine of ten from deep and forced eight more turnovers. St. Joseph's kept it close by winning the battle of the glass, 27-20, but it wasn't enough to get a win.

Looks like UMass is starting to raise its profile a bit more towards the Camby era. Good things for an assistant coach.

Yes, I'm thinking this could be the year we finally make a return to the NCAA tournament. I'm hoping to finish up this season today as I'm flying out on vacation early tomorrow and won't be back until Friday night. The weather outside isn't making it any easier to dedicate time to this game, though.

[color="DarkRed"]Massachusetts[/color] (15-5) vs. [color="DarkGreen"]Charlotte[/color] (11-9)
The streak has, finally, come to an end... The Charlotte 49ers hand the Minutemen their first loss since January 5th as they took this one 73-63. We just settled for too many three-point shots instead of sticking to what worked for us the last few games and attacking the rim. One positive, from a recruiting assistant's point of view, was the return of freshman [color="DarkRed"]Ryan Mardis[/color] to the court. Coach Sanders gave him 11 minutes of playing time and he responded with seven points on three of six shooting, one board and one assist.
Points: Jarod Daniels (10), Thomas Delk (9), Travis Arnold (9)
Rebounds: Travis Arnold (8), Robb Ezell (5), Nate Davenport (4)

[color="Navy"]Rhode Island[/color] (8-13) vs. [color="DarkRed"]Massachusetts[/color] (15-6)
Home sweet home! After a tough loss in Charlotte, the Minutemen coast to an easy 64-48 win at the Mullins Center. A 40-17 lead at halftime allowed Coach Sanders to play his bench quality minutes in the second half. [color="DarkRed"]Thomas Delk[/color] was the Player of the Game with 11 points, four steals, three assists and two steals while [color="DarkRed"]Ryan Mardis[/color] chipped in seven points on three of seven shooting in 12 minutes of playing time.

[color="Blue"]Saint Louis[/color] (13-10) vs. [color="DarkRed"]Massachusetts [/color](16-6)
If the Minutemen thought the Rhode Island game was a breeze, they didn't know that Saint Louis was going to lay down and die early in this one. Another big home win for the Minutemen, this one to the tune of 77-45, leaves the Minutemen all alone at the top of the conference standings at 10-2 with both Charlotte and Richmond two games back at 8-4. With only four games left for all A-10 teams, the Minutemen could lock up the #1 seed in the conference tournament in the next week if things go their way.

[color="DarkRed"]Massachusetts[/color] (17-6) vs. [color="Navy"]Richmond [/color](15-8)
With a chance to put some serious separation between themselves and the Spiders of Richmond, the Minutemen blew it today. It's always tough playing on the road against some of the top competition in this league and it showed today as Richmond held on to win a 72-68 thriller. The Spiders led by as much as 14 in the second half and the Minutemen kept battling to chip away at the lead but ran out of time at the end. With this loss and a Charlotte win, both the 49ers and Spiders are now just one game back of the Minutemen for the #1 seed.

In what is almost a must-win game to continue to hold first place all alone, the Minutemen steal a 1-point on the road 77-76! With that win and botch Charlotte and Richmond losing, UMass is again two games up on both of them with only two games left. A Minuteman win will clinch the #1 seed and A-10 regular season championship!

The UMass Minutemen, with an 80-68 home win, clinch their first A-10 regular season title under Coach Sanders! What made it even more special was the fact that they got to do it in front of their home fans. This will guarantee them a spot in the NIT, but a chance to go dancing for the first time since 1998 is what this team is really shooting for.

[color="DarkRed"]Massachusetts[/color] (19-7) vs. [color="Sienna"]St. Bonaventure[/color] (8-18)
After clinching the #1 seed in the A-10 tournament, Coach Sanders decided to rest some of his starters. There was a bit of a let down to be expected and it happened tonight as the Minutemen fell to the Bonnies 72-59. It would have been great to have secured a 20th win in the regular season, but the Minutemen will have to pick that up in the A-10 tournament.
