UMass-Lowell
- Thread starter kevin0214
- Start date
seems like we’ll be a getting a jump in competition before the Temple game.
True, but this team strikes me, albeit early in the season, as not taking anything for granted and, shall we say, has shown KILLER instinct towards inferior competition…all without DPOY McConnell…..
#168 on KenPom entering today. Columbia and Sacred Heart were near #300.
Still very annoyed this game was scheduled to overlap with the 2nd half of the football game. I can't believe we couldn't have played this game 2 hours later to avoid that conflict, which is keeping me from going to the hoops game.
I’m taping football, going to hoops
We are a basketball school.
Football game isn’t worth watching
Women’s soccer also has a home NCAA tournament game on campus at 6:00.
Football game time wasn't set until Sunday. No guarantees that any Saturday time would've been clear.
It's good for the staff that Lowell played well tonight. Helps get the team focused on the next opponent.

Big RU sports weekend with all that you mentioned and Big 10 men’s soccer championship at Yurcak on Sunday. Let’s make history and sweep it all: football, both soccers and basketball.
We disagree completely.
I can tape the football game. I’m going to the hoops game.
Me too. Obviously I’m interested in both, but I have tickets, I’m right here in Jersey, and it’s too much fun going to the RAC these days.
Choosing between the two is a no-brainer
Yea F the football game. Better to watch on DVR anyway.
Guess we are all old since most who are recording it said “tape”
only 3 FB games left. tons of bball left to watch in person. I'm sure there will be plenty of support in the stands and thanks to those of you going to provide that.
why would you pass up going to a live event for a tv football game given the footballs less than mediocre product...this one is a no brainer
Most of the football game starting times are determined a week before, with the possibility of
a noon start, 3:30 or 7
Wouldn’t it been hard to avoid a conflict outright? It seems that it would be a matter of luck not to have an overlap, unless the basketball opponent is willing to be flexible late
Agreed this game has to be scheduled in advance and we only get the football times a week before; the answer would have been to be better in football so we would have played the later game
They return about 85% of their minutes and scoring from the 21-22 team but don't have a lot of size. Last year, they won at Dayton by 1, lost by 11 @UMass, lost by 11pts home to Vermont and 1pt @Vermont, worst loss was N vs Oklahoma St by 22. Most of their team is a year old-er* 
now.
now.

Rutgers basketball guaranteed to score points. Advantage: Basketball.
There are some folks who fully support both football and hoops. And do it whether we win or lose.
If most of their team is a year old, we should pound the ball inside to Cliff. He should have a significant height advantage.
I think that's most of us. However, a live event vs. an away game makes it pretty clear which makes the most sense.
My favorite function of the DVR is the delete button. Don't have to bother recording over those 4 hour brutal football games anymore.
100% agree with this take. Plus, basketball is so much easier to build talent and depth with a 12 man roster as opposed to 100+ kids. That said, why it took so long for Rutgers in the heart of this NYC area loaded with talent is shameful. So many swing and misses with HC's set the program back. Coach Pikell is worth his weight in gold as far as I'm concerned.
Rhodium - it's the most expensive precious metal in the world and is 5X more expensive than gold, lol...
There’s no night games in the Big Ten after the first week in November. So the hoops game could’ve been scheduled at night. Rutgers wasn’t interested obviously.

This game may give us a better sense of perimeter defense situation than the first 2. UMass Lowell shot 50% from 3 against Columbia. They will probably be more like Fairfield.
This will be a much stiffer test. Veteran group, think they were around 170 in Kenpom to start the year. At 149 now.
