Wow, that is how bad my memory is from 28 years ago. I did not realize he did not play in that game and they still demolished us.

I remember the game being played but my memory is so bad I don’t remember if I was there to see it.

I hate to post something "on topic" for this thread, but is this kicker good? Has anyone heard if Almendares will be back?

If I am not mistaking UMass came here February of 95. I think the reason I missed it was because I was on my honeymoon. I remember talking to assistant coach and fraternity bro Eric Mouton at the airport as they were just returning from a road trip and we were flying out.

If not Umass then another big named really good opponent was coming in while I was gone.

I know nothing about him other than his last name just sounds like a kicker.

t was the last game in their old arena. The game was called “the rage in the cage” and it was on espn for midnight madness. When they returned the trip to lafayette they were ranked number 4. We were not very good that year. Although Camby was on the team he didn’t play. We still lost by 30. I have fond memories of that game being a ball boy on the visitors bench getting to shoot the schitt with Camby and Calipari pregame.

I remember that one. Collins had a thunderous 1 hand dunk to make it 40-50.

That was as close as we got.

My boy....Marty Fletcher.....

Yup. Followed that up with his last winning season (16-12) as a college head coach.

The arena was called the "Curry Hicks Cage." The chant "Rage in the Cage"was used all the time there, not just when we played there. But they had Tee shirts for sale that said "The Final Rage."

The game in Amherst was close. It was a four point game with two minutes to go and we lost by ten. Just had no answer for Roe.

When UMASS came to the Dome they were ranked #1. Camby did not play. UMASS scored the first 15 points of the game. We stayed around the 15 point mark for most of the contest, but then they scored the final 15 points. That game was two years after the game in Amherst. That was actually Marty's worst year. I think we were 7-21 or something like that.

Marty would do ANYTHING to get on national television. There were very few opportunities 25 years ago. So the game was on a Friday night at midnight. We were in the middle of conference play. The next morning we flew to Nashville for a Sunday afternoon contest vs. Western Kentucky. We tipped off 37 hours after the start of the UMASS game. We got h-a-m-m-e-r-e-d. I think it was something like 121-92. And, Marty said he'd do it all over again for the TV exposure.

Our vantage point at "The Cage" was upstairs and at the corner of one baseline. There was a drunk college student who came up to us and made believe he was messing with equipment. Don Allen gave him "the look" and asked if he wanted to stay for the game. The kid did it again, Don got security and the young man was escorted out. He was about to cry.

That Cajun team was the one in the middle of the two championship teams. Todd Hill was a senior, Michael Allen and Starks were juniors. Western Kentucky, led by Darnell Mee, went to the Sweet 16 and lost to Florida State.

What a great kid. Spent some time talking with him this weekend and couldn’t be more excited for him. He’s very interested in the festivals and culture in Lafayette as well. Seemed to love the environment and was just embracing the surroundings.
