Just looked through most of the UMASS board and they are actually pretty reasonable. They see this game as being one of the biggest in recent years for them and they are revving up for a huge crowd. I know Rick will have us ready for the game so I do not see a let up. Don’t get us wrong, this is a big game for us as well.
I definitely do not see our board chalking this game up as a W. It is going to be tough as they are pretty athletic and we saw what Temple's athletes did against us.
There were 2 stats that were brought up that caught my eye. It was stated that we were the worst in the league in three point field defense. If this is the case, this is a complete negative turn around from previous seasons. Also, stats showed that we have improved dramatically in our defensive rebounding. Earlier this year, we were getting hammered on the glass but it looks like things have turned around. The Bills have three big ones in a row, let's start with UMASS.
