Rivalry Taking Shape
In what has the makings of a Commonwealth rivalry, UMass and Harvard meet on the hardwood for the 29th meeting all-time. A series that dates on-and-off to the 1920s has been on the docket again since 2012 following a 21-year hiatus. Since the re-start of the series, all five contests in that span have been decided by six-or-fewer points including last year's 70-67 overtime win for the Crimson in Cambridge. That snapped a three-game win streak for the Minutemen dating back to the 2014 series. Overall, UMass leads the series 17-12.

Home Sweet Home
The Minutemen will play their first five games in front of the home crowd at the Mullins Center as they continue the home stand with Harvard on Tuesday. UMass begin the Las Vegas Holiday Invitational at home by hosting Howard on Nov. 16 and Arkansas-Pine Bluff on Nov. 19. Since 2015-16, UMass is 22-3 in non-conference games at the Mullins Center.

Splash Bros
Guards Luwane Pipkins (19) and Carl Pierre (21) combined for 40 points in the season opener for the ninth time in their careers dating back to Pierre's freshman season a year ago. The duo combined for a whopping 69 points of UMass' 86 points in a win over La Salle (1/10/18), where Pipkins set a new program record for points in a single game (44). The duo went on a streak of combining for 40 points in five of six games (1/30-2/21) last season during the heart of Atlantic 10 play.

Tickets are now on sale and can be purchased online, by calling 866-UMASS-TIX or through the Mullins Center Box Office. Single-game, season tickets, mini-plans and, the ever popular Parquet Pass are all now on sale.
