Unofficial fan account, posting about all things UMass basketball, mostly men's but women's as well. Opinions are mine, but stats are real. DMs open. Check us out on the web at
The MBB non-conf schedule has dropped. Observations... - Hosting Bryant and visiting Northeastern is new news. Northeastern on Thanksgiving eve in Boston. - Stonehill stayed on the slate, moved to the busy pre-Christmas weekend. - UM Boston again. I hate the D3s but everyone does them now.
UM is confirmed to play BC, on Friday 11/6, the undercard to a rematch of the national championship game with UConn and Michigan. Exact times TBA, but UM's release says we'll play first in the double-header. umassathletics.com/news/2026/7/...
The annual golf outing is coming up on September 14. Registration is open! event.auctria.com/ecad4269-b19...
Shocker. UMass football predicted to finish last in the MAC, again, this season, including behind Sacramento State, who has yet to play a game at the FBS level.
For the first time since 2013, UMMBB will start on the road, and will face Troy for the first time ever. The Trojans will be a tough test, as they won the Sun Belt (regular season and tournament) in '25 and '26. Sub-plot: Former Minuteman Robert Davis Jr. is now with Troy.
30 years ago today Marcus Camby goes #2 overall in the NBA Draft, to the Toronto Raptors. People will argue about which NBA Draft class was the best ever, but that '96 group is usually one of the contenders. bleacherreport.com/articles/254...
Happy birthday Derek Kellogg (see here with Chaz Williams and Raphiael Putney at the 2014 Selection Show watch party) umasshoops.com/wiki/doku.ph...
UMass MBB will play in Springfield again this season, against another ACC opponent. Wake Forest is coming this year. We haven't face them since Tim Duncan was on their roster. umasshoops.com/wiki/doku.ph...
UM announced a portal signing: Abdullah Ahmed, 6'10" Center from Egypt He played at BYU last season, becoming eligible after the Fall semester. And this is a first for UM: Ahmed has two seasons of G League experience. 👀 UM's announcement: umassathletics.com/news/2026/5/...
30 years ago today: Marcus Camby declares for the NBA Draft. umasshoops.com/wiki/doku.ph... He went on to be the #2 overall pick in one of the best drafts ever. After a 17-year NBA career, Camby returned to finish his UMass degree.
Reported by @andrewsamaha.bsky.social over on the hellscape... Donovan Brown has entered the portal in hopes of winning an appeal for a fifth year. Brown did well in D-II in '24-25 but didn't hit here, getting a total of 89 minutes, spread over 16 games. www.sports-reference.com/cbb/players/...
UMMBB has picked up a portal addition: Jordan Clayton, who just finished his junior year with Northwestern. Clayton comes home to MA, being a native of Medford. The 6-2 point guard could be a backup for Danny Carbuccia, assuming of course we retain Danny. www.sports-reference.com/cbb/players/...
30 years ago today: UMass vs Kentucky in the Final Four. We came up short, 81-74, but that whole season was quite a ride and one those of us who were around for it will never forget. umasshoops.com/wiki/doku.ph...
Which March Madness coach was most likely to have stormed the Capitol? ca.sports.yahoo.com/news/grant-l...
Congrats to Leo Bettiol for getting named All-Tournament Team. He shot 18-27 (67%) from the floor in our two games, and averaged 23 points and 7 rebounds. He was the only honoree whose team wasn't in the championship game. getsomemaction.com/news/2026/3/...
Great to see Jayden got the honor of putting our sticker on the bracket board. Dude had the best game of his career. Video courtesy of the MAC.
Might give a kidney if this platform gets a Spaces-equivalent and we get @curryhickssage.bsky.social over here full time.
Bowling Green missed a potential game winner, and Toledo survived in their game. We get Toledo tomorrow at 5 on CBS Sports Network. We beat Toledo in January at Mullins: umasshoops.com/wiki/doku.ph...
M'women close out the regular season with an 18-point 'dub, and finish 15-3 (3rd) in their first MAC season. The season goes on in the MAC Tourney on Wednesday. As the 3-seed, we're the last game of the day. Start time could be around 6:30, but all depends on how the three preceding games end.
These two results lock UMMBB into the 8 seed for Cleveland. UM plays Thursday at 11 AM against #1 Miami, on ESPN+ Miami is trying to stay undefeated right now at Ohio on ESPN2.
Always good to beat the sled dogs. umassathletics.com/news/2026/2/...
The top seeds aren't locked in just yet, but with remaining schedules it does look like the top 3 will hold as is. M'women go on the road for the next two, starting at WMU on Saturday. WMU is on the outside looking in, but still has a path to qualify, so they'll be putting up a fight. #LetsGoUMass
