UMass Minutewomen are currently 5-5. They lost to Buffalo, Iowa, George Mason, Hartford, and Hofstra. They have wins over North Dakota St, Montana, CCSU, Merrimack, and Bryant. They play Boston Univ tomorrow and host HC on Sunday (at 2:00).
Massey makes UMass (rated #225) an 8 point favorite over HC (rated #290) (predicts score = 64-56) with a 72% chance for the win.

TOP SUB: 3 STIFF, Alyx.......................G (Sr 5'9") 7 ppg / 3 rpg / 24 mpg 15 TUCKER, Taylor...............F (Fr 6'5") 6 ppg / 5 rpg / 24 mpg (stats from 1st 2 games, but has not played since 11/14 - injured?)

Her aunt (or great aunt, most likely) lived in my condo complex. She had to be a six footer herself. Funny lady, loved running into her. Neither of us knew about our respective HC connections.
Would her dad be the guy who was a walk on at HC in the early to mid 80s?
Surprised she went to Boston Latin...don't remember too many ballplayers from there either gender.

well, a little more pressure on us to beat umass on sunday. boston u, picked to finish last in the pre-season poll and 1-9 (only win over umass lowell) going into last night's game vs. umass, beat the minutewomen 64-60 in boston. umass has been terrible in recent years and fired their coach after last season. hey. we have to play well to beat anyone this season, let's hope the shots are falling

Watched BU @ Marist the other night, they have a pretty good tall center, otherwise they were weak. We should beat Boston U

HC's defense today is most impressive. HC up 33-14 and is shutting UMass down completely in the second half.

Stats are deceptive. HC has more turnovers (8/6), fewer rebounds (15/16), fewer FTs made (3/8), BUT, shooting 60% from the floor and 62.5% from 3 makes up for a LOT.

Just as a reminder...Massey had UMass favored over HC by 6 (62-56). Look for a better effort by UMass in the second half.

The best half of the year, followed by the worst quarter of the year. Now if HC settles down, all can still be OK. HC 57-51 with the ball. Oops - 59-51.
