And we want to hold the other team below 40 percent shooting. If we can get at least three of those five, or four, we have a good chance to win. The Minutemen accomplished three Saturday. Now they hit the road to play La Salle Thursday. After La Salle, UMass visits Temple Saturday and Rhode Island Jan. 30.
Flint thinks so.
UMass has already won at Xavier, and has played 10 road games in seven states. We had a nice crowd, even with a major storm outside. UMass shot 59.3 percent in the second half to overcome a mid-game glitch. UMass also blocked a season-high 13 shots against Duquesne, which fell to the Minutemen for the 16th straight time. Senior center Kitwana Rhymer scored 15 points with 12 rebounds and five blocked shots, earning Atlantic 10 player of the week honors announced yesterday.
