Why not start now...
The UMass beat writer for the Daily Hampshire Gazette has an interesting look at the Minutemen's chances at making post-season play...and his look at the remining CAA teams..
As a preview...he doubts the CAA can repeat last year's five teams into the tourney...

WOW...Some really positive press from the Boston Globe...
And it's on Josh Jennings, the defensive leader who this week won CAA Defensive Player of the Week honors for the third time this season...

I have watched UMass play twice on TV this year but I have not seen Maine. Does Maine have a realistic chance?

Yes they do have a realistic chance...Maine has always played a strong defense, and if the UMass offense of weeks 4 & 5 shows up...we're dead...
If the offense that took the field weeks 1&2 and the past two weeks shows up...I think we can win it, especially since we're at home...
