In the last 4, its 30.75

Have to tighten that up if we're going to get back in the win column.

GB was 1-5 this season, and 4-28 last season.

Off day tomorrow, back at it on Monday against the loser of today's Iona / Oregon State game.
12:30 PM Eastern game on Monday.
November 22, 2025 at 10:27 PM
UM had it cut to 3 with 11.9 to go, then fell asleep, gave up the home-run pass, and GB has all but clinched it.
November 22, 2025 at 10:20 PM
Carbuccia now has a new young career high. Currently has 14. Shooting 6-7 👍
November 22, 2025 at 10:07 PM
Bettiol fouls out with 2:53 to play. That's trouble for UM as he's been UM's primary producer in the second half.
70-66 GB
November 22, 2025 at 10:06 PM
UMass hasn't given up, and it's a 64-62 game with under 5 to play.
Bettiol and Banks 17 each.
November 22, 2025 at 9:55 PM
UM shooting better this half (60%), but so is Green Bay (67%).
UM down 55-47 at the under-12.
Banks 17 pts for UM.
Danny Carbuccia now has 12, 1 away from tying his young career high.
November 22, 2025 at 9:34 PM
The opposite start we wanted. DHS fouls the 3pt shooter, picks up his 3rd, 27 seconds in.
November 22, 2025 at 9:11 PM
UM getting out-shot, 52% to 23%, and lucky to only be down 33-23. A good day so far at the line (8-9) keeping it closer.
UM's last FG came on a Carbuccia 3 that banked in.
Glass even at 15.
Points in the paint: 22-2 GB 🤢
November 22, 2025 at 8:59 PM
Annnnd we're down 10 to Green Bay. 25-15 with 5:34 to play in H1, timeout UM.
UM is shooting 4-18 (22%) to start.
November 22, 2025 at 8:37 PM
Minutewomen with a nice win over Boston College, improve to 5-0 to start the season.
Don't be surprised if that's the last time BCWBB agrees to play us 😀
November 22, 2025 at 8:20 PM
I should take a Dramamine to deal with this camera work.
November 22, 2025 at 8:12 PM
51 seconds in, UMass a breakaway basket to take a 5-0 lead, and Gottlieb calls a timeout 😀

Fouls continue to mount, but game is knotted at 45 at the under-12.
UM with 3: DHS, Parker, Clerc

35-28 C of C

November 21, 2025 at 9:02 PM
Refs are calling this one tight. 5 Minutemen have 2 fouls each: DHS, Leo, K'Jei, Luka, and Clerc.
The frontcourt could be trouble as the game goes into H2.

UM has a 28-26 lead with about 2 to play in H1.

Women's hoop: Boston College comes into Mullins, Saturday at high noon. ESPN+ has it but it'd be great to get more people in the building and get behind this team. They're 4-0 at the moment, and deserve your in-person support.
