Message: [QUOTE="Vuce, post: 5348308, member: 89"] Essentially their hoops fans 40 years old and up remember UMass when they were really good or just good. It might seem crazy to us but they hold on to those days and envision and return to being in the mix for NCAA Tournaments. They made the tournament about 10 years ago (2014). As I’ve said before maybe in this thread I’ve lived in western MA my whole life and know a ton of UMass grads/fans. It’s 80/20 at least against the move to the MAC. My golfing group has several season ticket holders and they all cancelled their hoops tickets for first time since Calipari was there. They know the MAC is literally one of the worst basketball conferences in the country. They’ve told me that if UMass is in contention to win the league they might go to a game or two down the stretch. And football up here has always been just something to do in the fall and the MAC doesn’t change that. Move hoops to the Cage to get a better home court advantage rather than than a 90% empty Mullins. [/QUOTE]
