Half of the team has had a stomach bug since after the game on Wednesday from what Frank made it sound like this afternoon

The Minutemen are not able to keep the Riverhawks from expanding the lead. UMass faces UMass Boston on Saturday, December 14th at noon.

The Minutemen have been able to keep the game close, but Quinton Mincey nails back-to-back 3-pointers to pool their lead back out. The Minutemen need to be efficient on both ends of the court to keep the win within reach.

JAYDEN NDJIGUE HAVE A DAY!!! Ndjigue has a new career-high 17 points to lead all scorers in the game. The Minutemen have been swapping back and forth on defense between a zone and man-to-man. Buckle up it should be a good second half.

2H 15:53

There have been 11 fouls called already in the first 4 minutes of play between both of these teams. Expect the second half to have a choppier flow to it as there are a bunch of foul calls that have caused a slow flow to the half.

The Minutemen hold the Riverhawks without a field goal for the final 4 minutes of the half to get themselves within 2 points at halftime. Jaylen Curry leads UMass with 10 points and 3 rebounds, and Jayden Ndjigue has 9 points, 5 rebounds, and 2 assists.

The Minutemen have missed 7 free throws so far, and cannot find a consistent crew on the court for both offense and defense to keep the Riverhawks from scoring or to make baskets of their own.

The Minutemen's defense not being effective in stopping the Riverhawks from scoring. The Minutemen have gone 4 deep off their bench, and seem to find good production from the bench.

The Riverhawks went from not having scored a basket to being on a 12-1 run over the last 2 minutes of the game. The Minutemen need to find players who will contribute on both ends to keep this game within reach.
