Oh hell yeah! Sydney "Swish" Taylor is in the WNBA after making the official roster for the Chicago Sky! Huge congrats and well deserved for a UMass legend. umassathletics.com/news/2026/5/...

One of the greatest moments in college sports, when a walk-on is given a scholarship. Congrats to Rollie! x.com/i/status/205...

WooSox fans; we’ll be having an ArtButMakeItSports night this Friday at Polar Park. I’ll be selling & signing books, making live content, and much more. come for the art, stay for the fireworks! ticket link below - The Flood (or Le Déluge), by Jean-Baptiste Regnault, 1789 (flipped), 📸 by @R2DTay

30 years ago today: Marcus Camby declares for the NBA Draft. umasshoops.com/wiki/doku.ph... He went on to be the #2 overall pick in one of the best drafts ever. After a 17-year NBA career, Camby returned to finish his UMass degree.

Frank Martin is doing the eyes thing over on the other site. We should get news of a new player or two very soon

Garrett Crochet gets it. Unlike Trevor Story who's done a lot of whining, Crochet knows that their lack of execution cost the staff their jobs: “We’ve been playing terrible, I kind of feel like those guys paid the cost of our own crime." @masslive.bsky.social www.masslive.com/redsox/2026/...

Sox have definitely underachieved so far, probably the least watchable team in baseball, but Breslow assembled this putrid roster. He should be on the chopping block too.

Nice profile on Marcus Banks from the Daily Collegian. I enjoyed watching him this past season and wish him luck going forward. @umasshoops.bsky.social, for your player profile page dailycollegian.com/2026/04/ulti...

MAC baseball was at its zaniest this week, with UMass walking off BGSU twice in a series sweep, while NIU, Miami and Kent State held firm atop the league. Check out this week's series standouts and our previews for next week's actions in our latest #MACBats Digest: www.bythebelt.com/mac-baseball...

We're in the thick of the MAC baseball season, with a big fight at the top of the conference for superiority. We've recapped every game and standout performer from the week that was for you to stay up to date on your favorite #MACBats team: www.bythebelt.com/mac-baseball...

Clayton has committed to UMass he announced on Twitter. 6'2" guard from Medford played at Northwestern.

ok @nathanpstrauss.bsky.social, what exactly are you trying to do here? Is Jordan Clayton coming to UMass? He's from Medford, formerly the No. 3 player in Mass...

@247hshoops.bsky.social reports that K'Jei Parker is headed to Ball St. The men's basketball situation in Amherst is grim when Ball St is poaching your best players.

@deanwendel.bsky.social posted some non-conference games that UMass has added to the schedule for next season:

With UMass' season over, Frank Martin is back doing what he does best, giving coach-speak soundbite words of wisdom on the media circuit. This guy is great in the offseason, but I need way more from him from Nov-March from an actual basketball perspective. www.youtube.com/live/6qorOB0...

Ugh, so it begins for UMass basketball. K'jei Parker, an elite 3pt and FT shooter this past season is transferring per Tobias Bass of The Athletic.

Lewis Walker redshirted his freshman season at UMass and is back in the transfer portal, presumably looking to transfer up after having a big year for NC A&T. I doubt he wants to come back to play or Frank, but I'd love to see what "Big Jelly" can do considering we never saw him get on the court.

Huge MAC news. CoC is officially hiring John Groce, luring him away from perennial MAC title contender Akron. The MAC just got worse, and the excuses for Frank Martin and UMass have officially run out. With Groce gone and some familiarity with league now, it's time to show results.

DEVELOPING: Akron men's basketball head coach John Groce has emerged as the top option for the College of Charleston vacancy: www.bythebelt.com/reports-akro...

I loved Joe Harasymiak's closing note at his UMass FB press conference yesterday. He leaned into using this job as a stepping stone. Didn't hide from it. He needs to win if he wants to coach at a higher level. Quote below www.youtube.com/watch?v=lNGH...

"We're building the plane while we fly it" - Ryan Bamford Somehow, this man still has a job leading a division 1 flagship university.

As info trickles out of what should have been an open and live streamed event, demanding accountability and announcing significant changes, but of course wasn't, today is the first day that I can fully say that there is no plan, nothing will change, and the athletic department, from the top down...

I can't wait to watch the UMass MBB presser conference once it's finally released, if they even have the guts to show it publicly. The quotes being shared are absurdly bad and tone deaf. They're so incompetent, they'll probably decide NOT to release it and then accidentally upload it to YouTube.

No stream for the UMass MBB press conference with Ryan Bamford and Frank Martin per the @themassco.bsky.social on the other site. This athletic department, run by Bamford, just simply does not care about its everyday fans at all, as he so incompetently proves time and time again.

With McDermott retiring, and a new coach potentially turning over the assistant coaching staff, I wonder if Derek Kellogg would want to come back to UMass as a basketball general manager?

#UMass mentioned* *congrats, 'Huskers

UMass joins the MAC, beats the best story in college hoops in their conference tournament, and the MAC benefits by getting their first at-large since 1999 AND bringing in heaps of additional revenue to every team in the conference for years to come.

UMass hockey people, what are we wearing today? Is there a white out, maroon out, something like that?

I saw that Frank did a video interview today or podcast or some shit with Jason Whitlock, literally one of the most detestable people in sports media. Why was he doing that on the day of the MAC semifinals? Should have gotten his team prepared to play instead of doing a media tour after one win

Bummer dude. A frustrating and quite frankly underachieving season comes to an end for UMass. Some high highs (BC, FSU, Miami), and too many lows. It'll be an interesting offseason. Seems like there are some good freshmen coming in, but we have to reload in the portal with DHS, Bettiol, Banks...

So it'll be UMass vs Toledo tomorrow at 5 on CBS Sports. Rest up and let's get after it.

"A mistake at the lake" is such a great call from Jay on the radio broadcast. Best PxP guy in the conference by a mile

shoutout to the WMUA guys and @andrewsamaha.bsky.social who have endured years of losing and Frank Martin. What a joy to be able to witness this moment in person and have that call in your pocket forever. Congrats boys! twitter.com/acsamaha/sta...

At the very end, you can see Thorr Bjorn milling around. Why would the senior deputy AD tasked with overseeing football be at the opening round basketball game? AD in waiting...?

UMass postgame press conference: www.youtube.com/watch?v=MV9v...

I'm so happy for Daniel Hankins-Sanford and Jayden Ndjigue who have been at UMass for 3 years and never won a conference tournament game. To do it in this fashion, and for both of them to play well in the win, it has to be incredibly satisfying.

MAC FINAL UMass upsets Miami (OH), 87-83, ENDING the RedHawks perfect run at 31-1. Frank Martin and UMass pull it off. Question remains … two bid MAC? Does Miami make an At-large (we think so)

11-minute condensed game video of UMass' epic win over previously undefeated Miami Ohio. Watch it, and watch it again. I'm going to savor this one. www.youtube.com/watch?v=m0xa...

REFUSE TO LOSE.

Hoopsters out there, any idea where can we catch the MAC tournament postgame pressers? @umasshoops.bsky.social @mid-majormadness.bsky.social @bracketbusters.bsky.social @collegehoopstop50.bsky.social

Hey, @jayburnham.bsky.social, how we doing???

UMASS WINS!!!!!!!!! 87-83 UMass gives Miami their first loss of the season, and puts the rest of their season into the Selection Committee's hands. UMass survives and advances and will play tomorrow at 5 PM on CBS Sports Network. Opponent: winner of today's Bowling Green / Toledo game.

Frank Martin, I owe you an apology. That was amazing. Biggest win of his tenure by a MILE

HAHAHAHAH!!!! UMass!!!!!!!!!!! Miami is perfect no more!!!

What a BS flop by Byers on that 3pt attempt.

Frank: Carbuccia out, Parker in. DO IT.

No foul on that second DHS attempt? He got hacked on the left arm. These refs blow.

Off to a great start here in the 2nd half. 3 UMass fouls in the first minute.

Miami OH has committed a total of 1 fouls through 16 minutes of play. I see what's going on here.

Holy cow Frank Martin looks tan. Was he in Amherst preparing for the tournament, or did he go on vacation over the last week?
