Some details are starting to settle in about the MBB schedule, including that our game with BC at TD Garden on 11/6 (Friday) has been set for 5:00. More observations... www.umasshoops.com/newboard/vie...

UMass Football picked up two votes in the FBS Coaches Poll this week. 👀 sportsdata.usatoday.com/football/nca... Does it matter at this point in the season? Maybe not. Is it a fun accomplishment? Yes.

Nice to see. Clean up the penalties (9 for 98) and this could have been a wider margin.

UMass will be 3-0. Next week, they will travel to Sacramento to play their first Mid-American Conference game of the season. All of this makes total sense.

UMMBB has added two home exhibitions to the slate: Rhode Island, 10/11, 3 PM Brown, 10/18, 2 PM Both will be free admission. Might have to go in person to see 'em. In years past, our home exhibitions have not streamed. Also, overlaps with Patriots home games: 10/11 Raiders, 10/18 Jets, both 1 PM.

UMMBB will indeed play at Harvard in an exhibition on 10/23. Looks like it will be a ticketed event, but their single-game tickets are not on sale yet. Says it will stream on ESPN+.

Not great that we're using one of our eight by-choice non-conference games to play a D-III school, but, at least we're not Western Michigan? The Broncos are playing one D-III and two bible colleges. Yikes. wmubroncos.com/news/2026/8/...

UM has apparently filled the schedule vacancy created by the loss of the Northeastern game. We've reportedly agreed to a home-and-home with Loyola-Chicago, who will visit Amherst on 11/29 (the Sunday of Thanksgiving weekend). We will play in Chicago next season. @roccomiller8.bsky.social

UMassHoops.com @umasshoops.bsky.social · 20/08/2026

A weird scheduling quirk popped up... UMMBB was supposed to play at Northeastern on 11/25, but Northeastern is now committed to playing at Wisconsin that day, so the UM/NU game is off. UM may try to fill in the vacancy, but in August, when most dance cards are already filled, that might be tough.

MAC will change up their tourney format this season, keep the top-8 format, but stretch it to 4 days, and give the #1 and #2 seeds a pass to the Semis. If Miami had actually taken care of their business on 3/12/26, does this change still happen?

The MAC schedule has dropped. Observations... -As expected, 22 games. Home and Homes with each MAC member. -Earliest conf play I can remember, as we open 12/2 at EMU. 3 conf games before finals break. -Wed mid-week games before XMas, then Tues after. -No compelling Saturday home games 😞

For the first time since 2013, UMMBB will start on the road, and will face Troy for the first time ever. The Trojans will be a tough test, as they won the Sun Belt (regular season and tournament) in '25 and '26. Sub-plot: Former Minuteman Robert Davis Jr. is now with Troy.
