The UMass men's basketball team snapped a three-game losing skid with a solid 82-74 win over Fordham on Saturday. Four players reached double figures and the team used a 13-0 run that epitomized Derek Kellogg's definition of 'UMass Basketball,' grabbing six steals and forcing seven turnovers in a part of the game that the Minutemen took control of the game.

The Minutemen are tied for fifth place with Richmond in the Atlantic 10 standings, meaning Wednesday's Senior Night title with the Spiders in Mullins is going to be a big one.
