USA Today wrote, much better than I could :), a very nice synopsis about the Basketball Team which is well worth reading.
http://www.usatoday.com/sports/college/mensbasketball/atlantic10/umass.htm
Coach Travis Ford had a lot on his plate coming into the 2007-08 season.
The loss of three double-figure scorers and 20-plus rebounds per game from his roster, including A-10 Player of the Year Stephane Lasme, left Ford with an unproven starting five and a major concern about his lack of depth.
(snip)
Despite a disappointing A-10 tournament loss to Charlotte that obliterated any shot at an NCAA at-large bid, the Minutemen gave their fans a ride to remember by advancing all the way to the NIT championship game.
(snip)The future looks bright, and whatever the future brings, you can be proud of the way your Basketball Team has represented you.
