Umass gets a pretty tough draw having to face one of two very good basketball teams in the quarterfinals.  Though UMass beat both teams in the regular season, i think i'd rather see them face Charlotte.  Rhode Island has too many weapons, and has some real rivalry revenge to take out against UMass if they get past charlotte.  i just don't see UMass beating URI three times in one season, as we live and die by the three ball it seems.  Thoughts?

As a rhody fan i think umass got screwed. Who would've thought rhody was gunna be the #11 seed in the A-10. We just lost to charlotte so we need a big bounce back and play some defense come wed. I see rhody getting by charlotte and i agree with you umass fan that beating any team 3 times in a row is tough. I think temple is wayy overrated so i feel like winner of umass vs uri (which they should get there) will get to the finals. If umass loses...home game in the NIT and rhody obviously has to win the a-10 to get in...should be a really interesting week because everything is just up in the air in the a-10. can't wait and lets go rhody!

Rhody needs to win the a10 to get in. Thats the only way

Umass: 1 win and there in

Having said that i would rather play charlotte b/c beating one team 3 times in a year is tough, daniels is a beast, althought baron is streaky and is not a biggame player.

Give me Charlotte. It's so hard to beat a team three times in a season and Rhode Island poses some matchup problems for UMass. I don't know much about Charlotte, but know that any team int he A10 can win on any given night, so I definitely don't have a team that I am "looking forward" to playing.

I think all of you have hit the nail on the head. I hope Charlotte wins.  We need a big tourney showing.  Ive been disappointed too many timesin recent years.  GO UMASS

You know what?? Screw it, give me URI. Just cause I think we'll play harder and know we have to execute properly to beat a team 3 times. Plus we already know we are going to play URI.. we've played them so many damn times... thats inevitable. If Charlotte pulls over the victory that will be a tough match too and they'll be riding their own 3-4 game winning steak. It's not gonna be easy either way, but the good news is if we do make it make it past the first game I see us beating beating Temple or the winner of that game on a neutral site!! But let's not get ahead of ourselves, its win or go home to the NIT. And I am sick of the NIT, Gary Forbes will show everyone why he is derserving A-10 player of the year and why he should be considered in the NBA draft as well!!!  GO.. GO.. U.... GO UMASS!!!

wouldn't you know it, we're playing charlotte. i like your last point about playing harder vs. URI.  But, if i were a gambling man, i'd rather face charlotte than URI. i saw umass play both teams during the reg. season, and URI just scares me.  Granted they're both GREAT basketball teams, beating URI three times isn't happening, beating UNC-Charlotte twice is more likely and i'm wayy more comfortable with the whole idea.  you never know though. it should be a terrific game and i look forward to watching on CSN new england thank god we can watch around here.  go UMASS!

Play forty minutes of aggressive defense, rebound the ball, share the wealth and UMass should prevail in this one.  Go UMass!!!

This game to me is more about the offense than the defense.  Keep the pace high, make a team that played a tough game last night run up and down the court, and see if they can keep up.  If we score 80 in this game, I don't see Charlotte keeping pace.  I can feel a date with Temple and a nice revenge game going on a decade of abuse (man i hate that team!)
