Team captain Gary Forbes' reaction after finding out UMass missed out on the NCAA Tournament for the second straight season:

"You can't cry over spilt milk for too long. We still got a chance to play basketball and prove something. "

"The NCAA Tournament is gone, and it was in our hands and we could have done something. But we didn't and it wasn't meant to be."

From Chris Lowe:

"We just gotta be happy to play. A lot of teams in college basketball aren't playing right now -- at least 200 teams had to hand in their uniforms.

"At least we get to play another day."

From coach Travis Ford:

"Our resume I think is a lot better than some of the teams that got in. Briefly looking at a few teams I was surprised that got in, I thought we had a lot better record."
