UMass WBB locked in at URI. (Newport, RI for now).
This is the best UMASS team Iโve seen in the last 2 years. The girls are coming for revengeโฆ
Now in the final stretch of A-10 play, UMass looks to establish themselves as one of the best teams. In the country.

UMass just played astonishing basketball in the overtime period as the Minutewomen defeated Drake 100-83 after being down as many as 10 in the third. My game recap here:

NBA caliber players are rarely โbadโ. Itโs a combination of opportunity and exposure that helps them develop. Once a Celtic always a Celtic. Glad to see our guys fitting into their new roles

A full court press is not about going for steals (not saying it canโt happen, but thatโs not the point). Itโs about tiring out the opponent. The other team has to sprint and dribble the ball - all of the pressure is on them. Why not exploit that pressure?
Tory Verdi is a family man. He cares about others. On the court, he demands excellence. He craves opportunity. My feature on UMass womenโs basketballโs program builder:
Basketball is an art - players who understand the significance of 5 people working together to achieve a goal get the objective. The small controlables are what define a winning team. Holding each other accountable, diving for loose balls, and supporting one another.
Alright. An hour later, I present you with the official, totally correct, and easy-ish to read scenarios for the final day of A10 Women's Basketball in 2023.
Want to know who will get seeded where? Use this handy chart during the final day. This was fun.
Plus/Minus isnโt talked about enough. I think people overcomplicate what can be used as a helpful indication of player performance. These arenโt the BEST players, but the players that contribute to WINNING basketball. 4/8
@celtics
. I love this team (glue guys and all)

Ousmane NโDiaye,
@celtics
projected second-round pick, stands tall at 6-11. His knack for O.R. and pure stroke allow him to stretch the entire floor. Enigmatic prospects like N'Diaye have a low floor but his youthfulness allows for growth.

Iโve seen 7 different guys grab boards in this first quarter. Mavs are playing like a team for the first time in a while AND itโs in a game 5 away. ๐

Jalen Wilson is a reach for the Celtics, but I like his game. The 6'8 TX native is averaging 21.9 and 9.3 rebounds. His spacial awareness is exceptional and his NBA-ready frame prove to be intriguing. He's a surprisingly skilled ball-handler for his position as well.
Some familiar names and some surprises. Always keeping track of the controllables. Itโs not a coincidence that KD and Curry (2 of the purest shooters in the league) sit at the top of this list.
