UMass averages 74.5 points per game while giving up 77.9. The Minutemen shoot 42.8% from the floor and 37.5% from 3. Opponents are shooting 48.9% from the field and 37.9% from 3. The Minutemen shoot 75.5% from the free throw line. They have been out rebounded by opponents by 1.9 boards per game. They average 11.8 turnovers per contest.
The game is on ESPN+.
My prediction: We absolutely have to have this one if for no other reason than to finish .500 in league play and over .500 for the year. Both are important milestones, at least in my opinion, for KE in his first year. Oduro stays out of foul trouble and leads the way to victory. GMU 78 - UMass 70.
