WASHINGTON, D.C. - The No. 10-seed Massachusetts Minutemen continue play at the Atlantic 10 Championship tonight with a matchup against No. 2-seed Dayton. The Minutemen take on the Flyers at 6 p.m. on USA from Capital One Arena.

Last Time Out
No. 10-seed UMass picked up a 99-88 win over No. 7-seed George Washington last night  behind five double figure scorers. Noah Fernandes poured in a new career-high for the second consecutive game with 29 points on 11-of-17 from the field to go along with seven assists and a career-best seven steals. Trent Buttrick posted his third double-double with 13 points and a career-high 16 rebounds while T.J. Weeks, Rich Kelly, and C.J. Kelly each chipped in double figure points.

Just Something About Tourney Time
The Minutemen have four of the top-seven highest scoring games at the Atlantic 10 Championship after posting 99 in last night's win. UMass scored 100 in a win over Saint Joseph's last season to rank third-most ever at the conference tournament and own the record with 106 against Rutgers at the 1992 tournament.

I'll Take That
Noah Fernandes came away with seven steals in the second round win over George Washington to become just the fourth player to ever record seven or more steals in the A-10 Championship. The defensive effort marked a new career-high for Fernandes and marked the third time this season that a Minuteman has recorded five or more steals.
