Men's basketball

Weeks of speculation involving where Massachusetts men's basketball coach Travis Ford will coach next season are over.
He isn't going anywhere.
UMass athletic director John McCutcheon made the announcement Thursday night at 7 p.m., saying that Ford will be back in Amherst next season as coach.
"I want to give every one of you an opportunity to have a nice, deep cleansing breath. Relax a little bit, with the knowledge that Travis Ford, our head men's basketball coach, is going to be with us for many years to come," McCutcheon said at the team's end-of-the-season banquet.
The announcement came just one day after Ford interviewed for the Providence coaching position and two days after saying he did not want to be considered for the job at Lousiana State.
"It's been a long two days," Ford said, struggling to find the right words. "It was a tough decision. Any time you have options to look at great places [it's tough], but it was easy to make the decision with all the reasons that I wanted to be here."
