54-43 Akron, 10:07 left

Men's Basketball

UMass is obviously not used to playing televised games. The regularly scheduled official's timeouts every four minutes are even longer because of ESPN's committment to its sponsors. But the Minutemen don't even use all of that extra. Coach Travis Ford dismisses his players from the huddle about two minutes before play resumes, while the Zips remain entrenched in strategy discussion. I wonder if Ford is just so angry at his team's performance that he doesn't have much to say or if he expects everyone to know their job and it's just a matter of execution?
