AMHERST, Mass. - The Matt McCall era officially gets underway this Friday, Nov. 10, as the UMass men's basketball team hosts in-state foe UMass Lowell at the Mullins Center. Tip-off is set for 7 PM as the night cap of a doubleheader with the women's team which opens its season against the University of Maine-Fort Kent starting at 4:30 PM.
