After finishing last year with a mediocre 8-12 record, the Minutemen are hoping to bounce back strong this season. Head coach Derek Kellogg has high hopes for his team, but the competition does not expect much from such a young, inexperienced UMass team. The Minutemen will have to recover from the loss of Ricky Harris, who carried the offensive workload last season by averaging 19.8 points per game. Gary Correia is the only true senior returning to the team, although Hashim Bailey and Anthony Gurley are both fifth-year seniors. Six-foot-nine center Sean Carter lead the team in rebounds last season, and will have to be a dominant force on the glass this season. The Minutemen's first game is on November 12th, in the Mullins Center, against Rider. The first true test versus a talented team comes on December 4th in the TD Garden, against Boston College.
Nice job on the background information from last year's team. You did your research and were also not afraid to be brutally honest.
ReplyDeleteGood piece. Well-researched. Seems unfinished, though.
