UMass is headed to the Garden!
Minutemen find a way in their biggest game of the year (so far) and win 3-1 on the road at Providence to punch their ticket to the HEA semifinals

Vannini's newest CUSA piece reports (for the first time I believe) that UMass is at the top of the conference's list to get to 12 teams
"UMass is the top option, but only as an all-sports member"
Two years ago, Conference USA nearly collapsed.
Now it’s finishing perhaps the most successful calendar year in its history with a Fiesta Bowl.
“I’m not going to let this go away under my watch.”
