I would much rather play GW. UMass always worries me, they play us tougher and much closer. Holloway is capable of going off on us. GW doesn't have anyone that scares me.

Agreed. But if our rotations are what they were against GW, I like our chances against UMass’s front court better.

 

[TweederGMU]

Would rather play GW. Don't want to play UMass as they have been matching up better with us this season. GW looks like a deflated team who wants the season to end where UMass wants to come make some noise.

Having Mar available now will be interesting to see if they use him in this game..... thinking he will get a few mins regardless.

 

[MasonSAE4]

Pierre always goes off for 20 against us. Would way rather see GW.

BREAKING: Luwane Pipkins' #UMass career is likely over as he has been ruled out of the Atlantic 10 Tournament with his hamstring injury. It was very clear he wasn't at 100 percent the past few games, so he'll sit out in Brooklyn.

That's a game changer.

Why is Pipkins' UMass career "likely over"? He's a Junior, correct? Is LP on the waiver wire to play elsewhere next season?

Yes

From what I'm reading... looks like he's going to be a Grad-Transfer. He graduated HS in 2015. Was on academic Red-shirt 15-16.

He also announced via Twitter/Instagram prior to their senior night that it would be his last home game.

If we lose the first game, the boards will resemble a post apocalytic landscape. No rules, everyone fighting amongst one another leaving no room for the last scraps of decency.

Sky Net will self actualize and humanity will simply be used as an energy source to power our AI overlords's mysterious global matrix.

He would suit you. I'll give him to you. Instead, I'll be the HVAC contractor/super spy Harry Tuttle:

Ticketmaster probably has a lot of them. Mason has them for sale too I believe. Nowhere close to sold out.
