Feels like UMass is hanging on for dear life despite having a decent lead. CCSU is flying around and UMass isn't matching their energy

UMass shooters are bailing Frank out. CCSU opens the 2nd on a 13-0 run and he refuses to call TO. Without some timely shots from Parker and Luka, we'd be in trouble. Thankful for that 1st half performance so far.

UMass up by 23 at the half against CCSU. They have some legitimate shooters on this team. When Banks doesn't have it, Parker has shown he's perfectly capable of stepping up.
Nice contributions from the bench today, too.

This second unit has done a good job, but you probably don't want to tempt fate for too long. Start working some starters back in.

First impression walking into the Mullins Center: CCSU looks big and strong. This is no Le Moyne. I expect a battle.

Refs are doing whatever they can to keep Le Moyne in this thing.

Frank's coaching like this game is over. Playing the end of the bench and it is SLOPPY.
Get the pressure on here, don't get lazy and sloppy. Run Le Moyne out the gym.

Carbuccia needs some help against this Le Moyne D.

Alright, the General Tso's chicken at the Mullins Center is legit. Some of the best sports venue food I've ever had.

This. Is. MACtion.
Yes UMass set off fireworks when they made a huge three to cut the lead to 42.

I'm a Bond superfan and see this as a ridiculous non-issue. He's a fictional character. Just make a great Bond movie and don't worry about any continuity at all. It's irrelevant.
These movies live forever not because of the continuity, but because they're fun spy movies. Just do that.

James Bond’s death in No Time to Die is causing a nightmare for the next film. Writers are stuck because Bond “was blown to pieces.”

Solid move from Frank Martin with this post on the former bird app. He's right, too. If they want to play a physical style, they need to improve at layups and free throws.

WOOF. Same old same old. Can't shoot 3's, can't shoot MFing free throws.
It's game 1 with a new group, but that was ugly

These lineups are trash. How are DHS and Banks not out there?

Real sloppy first half, but I guess that's to be expected with so much roster turnover. Lots of turnovers and poor communication on defense leaving shooters open.
Marshall plays very physical. Almost everything they do on D is a foul. They already have some foul trouble, hopefully that helps UMass

Mullins parking update: it's not so bad. You drive past the Mullins heading north through the light at parking services and turn left into some back door drive to the dirt lot. Plenty of signs, cones, and parking attendants.
I got here pretty early so I can't speak about traffic, hopefully it...

"To beat the champ, you gotta knock 'em out!" is a great call by Joe Davis. The Jays had their chances to put it away but couldn't "knock 'em out". What a series and an all-time game 7.
I feel for Blue Jays fans, but am happy for former Red Sox Mookie Betts, Kike Hernandez, and Dave Roberts
