Minutemen NIT-bound for second straight season

Before the Atlantic 10 Tournament started, Massachusetts point guard Chris Lowe said the Minutemen had a hard time getting up for their NIT game last season.

It will be even harder this year.

UMass (21-10, 10-7 A-10) missed out on the NCAA Tournament for the 10th straight season today, narrowly missing out making the field of 65. And for the second year in a row, a poor performance in the conference tournament is to blame. A win over Charlotte (they had an 18-point lead) would likely have been enough.

Check back here later tonight for reaction from coach Travis Ford and players.
