Massachusetts 80, NJIT 68

[LICKING COUNTY FAN]

Yes, I love college basketball, unlike most of you posting or reading on this board or site. Yes, I post on it a lot. In this game, U.Mass. (3-5) was able to post the 12-point win over a gritty NJIT (1-8) squad.


The Minutemen hit 50% of their shots from the field while the Highlanders connected on 34.5%. Daniel Rivera (San Juan, Puerto Rico) paced the winners with 16 points and 11 boards. Coming off the bench to aid in the cause was Marqui Worth (Anaheim, CA) with 12 points and 2 assists. He averages just a little over a point per game.


For the Highlanders, Tariq Francis (Pittsburgh, PA) led the way with 24 points. He averages a little over 19 per game.
