Albany Times Union / By Mark Singelais
AMHERST, Mass. - Rashaun Freeman went home to Schenectady for Christmas and gave the grandmother who raised him a present greater than anything he's done on the basketball court.

MEN'S BASKETBALL: Freeman brings finesse
Springfield Republican / By Ron Chimelis
AMHERST, Mass. - Rashaun Freeman came to the University of Massachusetts men's basketball program with a reputation as a muscleman, able to dominate the interior with sheer ferocity and brawn. That description hasn't been wrong, but it has been incomplete. Eight games into his college career, the 6-foot-8, 255-pound power forward is displaying not only strength but finesse, leading to suggestions he may already be the best UMass low-post player since Tyrone Weeks. . .

Boston Globe / By Joe Burris

MEN'S BASKETBALL: Minutemen set after long layoff
Springfield Republican / By Ron Chimelis

Boston Globe / By Paul Harber
AMHERST, Mass. - Senior defenseman Thomas Pock was here in the not-so-good-old days, when a tie with a team like New Hampshire was something to celebrate. But last night, New Hampshire, last year's NCAA finalist, was the team that was happy to escape the Mullins Center with a tie. . .
ICE HOCKEY: UMass ties UNH
Springfield Republican / By Dick Baker
AMHERST, Mass. - The game appeared all but over, as soundly outplayed New Hampshire had little left. But a too-many-men-on-the-ice penalty to the University of Massachusetts with 1:40 reamining in regulation turned what looked like a spectacular win into a 2-2 overtime tie before 4,341 at the Mullins Center. . .
ICE HOCKEY: Tie not good enough
Daily Hampshire Gazette / By Matt Vautour

FOOTBALL: Minutemen delay move to I-A level

Daily Hampshire Gazette / By Matt Vautour
AMHERST, Mass. - The already thin University of Massachusetts men's basketball roster will be even thinner when the Minutemen take the floor at 7:30 tonight against Central Connecticut State at Mohegan Sun.

MEN'S BASKETBALL: Sellers faces former team
Daily Hampshire Gazette / By Matt Vautour

MEN'S BASKETBALL: Minutemen seem to be shorthanded
Springfield Republican / By Ron Chimelis
For at least tonight's men's basketball game against Central Connecticut State, the University of Massachusetts will try to do more with less. The Minutemen will be without freshman guard Artie Bowers, leaving only eight scholarship players available for the game at Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, Conn.

MEN'S BASKETBALL: Close call for Eagles
Boston Globe / By Joe Burris

MEN'S BASKETBALL: BC takes OT thriller
Springfield Republican / By Ron Chimelis
BOSTON, Mass. - It all came down to a few missed free throws and a couple of missed shots from the floor, any of which could have won the game.

Springfield Republican / By Ron Chimelis
By any fair measure, this game represented real progress. I'm not sure everyone who follows University of Massachusetts men's basketball will see it that way, much as I think they should.

Springfield Republican / By Ron Chimelis
Just because it's no longer called the Commonwealth Classic doesn't mean this game is common. It's still the University of Massachusetts against Boston College, although at times, today's men's basketball game at Conte Forum may look more like a Nike camp all-star game than a college contest. . .
