Matty V. says UMass is motivated to send the seniors out with a win.
Matty also reports UMass could have a Big East decision in its future. Matty points out, as did Mike Paquette in the comments yesterday, if Cincinnati and Louisville leave the Big East, the MAC would be a better football conference. Navy and Temple would be attractive opponents for UMass football, but the rest of the Big East would feature high travel costs and not much name recognition.
The revised A10 would also be a better hoops league if the Catholic basketball schools split from the Big East.
