UMass Basketball To Play In “Bubbleville” At Mohegan Sun
October 30, 2020 | Men's Basketball
Final game schedule, game times and television broadcast details will be released at a later date.
AMHERST, Mass. – The UMass men's basketball team non-conference schedule is beginning to fall into place as the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame and Gazelle Group announced Friday that the Minutemen are one of nine additional teams that will join the season-opening multiple team event taking place at Mohegan Sun.
Bubbleville Pods Two, Three and Four will compete November 25 to December 2 in Uncasville, Connecticut. Final game schedule, game times and television broadcast details will be released at a later date.
Pod Two: Delaware (CAA), Siena (MAAC), and UMass (Atlantic 10)
Pod Three: Buffalo (MAC), Iona (MAAC), and Vermont (America East)
Pod Four: Towson (CAA), St. Bonaventure (Atlantic 10) and Stephen F. Austin (Southland)
UMass is coming off a 2019-20 campaign that saw the Minutemen finish eighth in the Atlantic 10 standings, its highest finish since 2015, and earn a first-round bye in the conference tournament for the first time since 2016 before the championship was cancelled due to COVID-19.
The Minutemen return reigning Atlantic 10 Rookie of the Year Tre Mitchell, who burst onto the scene in Amherst with one of the top freshman seasons in program history in 2019-20. Mitchell, who was also named to the A-10 Second Team and to the league's rookie team, finished the year averaging 22.9 points per game and 9.4 rebounds per game over his final nine games. The Pittsburgh, Pa. native became the first rookie since Marcus Camby in 1994 to be named to the Atlantic 10's First, Second or Third team.
Mitchell was a six-time Atlantic 10 Rookie of the Week selection, the most for a Minuteman since Rashaun Freeman in 2003-04, and broke the UMass freshman record for field goals in a season with 206, previously held by Jim McCoy (193 in 1988-89). Mitchell was also on pace to break the freshman points record, finishing eight shy of tying the program record of 555.
Mitchell will be flanked by T.J. Weeks, who had his season cut short due to injury in 2019-20, as well as senior captain Carl Pierre.
The Minutemen will also welcome a group of six newcomers in 2020-21: Ronnie DeGray III, Dyondre Dominguez, Noah Fernandes, Javohn Garcia, Mark Gasperini and Cairo McCrory.
"It's a very talented group," said head coach Matt McCall. "We needed this class to elevate and help get us to the top of the league, and we feel like we've done that with this group. This group coming in will have a year or two of prep school that will be ready to play from Day One, and I don't look at those guys like freshmen."
