UMass Season Ends in NIT Final Four
During the 2011-2012 college basketball season the UMass Minutemen were 1-4 heading into Tuesday night's NIT Final Four game against Stanford when they were held under 70 points in a game. The reality of this particular UMass team was that if they were going to win, they were going to do it on offense, and if the shots weren't falling, or the ball bounced the wrong way at...

That's the kind of sizzling run that changes games and puts top-seeded teams on the brink of an upset loss. In this case, it was Temple. With the speedy Williams slicing his way down the lane toward 20 points and 10 assists, Massachusetts...

Minutemen Travel to Philly and...
I'm usually capable of putting everything in prospective, and heading into the game tonight in Philly I never really expected the Minutemen basketball team to come away with a victory - they're just not very good on the road and it's really tough to win road games in the A-10.
