She said, “I do.” While the day was not what we had planned due to the coronavirus, we could not be happier. We missed many family and friends due to the circumstances, but appreciate everyone’s love and support. I’m looking forward to spending the rest of my life with Kasey.

Great time with Zooming with the UMass basketball family today. We must have had about 35 or 40 different people on throughout the hour. Awesome to see everyone and re-connect.

September 8, 2003, was day one. 20 years later, I know I made a great decision to join the Boston University College of Communication. I am thankful for all the team members, students, faculty, staff, and friends I have met along the way. #ProudToBU

Let's go, @UMassMBB. This year, the next year, and forever. Any team, any time, any place. If that's the MAC, let's go. If that's the A10, let's go. If it's on Mars, let's go.

I was in our locker room when this happened, walked out and passed Cal in the Mullins back hallway, he simply said "Billy have a nice night." I had no idea this even happened until I got to my apartment, and I was asked by my roommates about it.
"When I see you, I'ma kick your ass!"
Today is the 30 year anniversary of one of the most memorable press conference dust-ups of all-time.
John Calipari vs. John Chaney.
Here is SportsCenter's segment from that night.

Awesome night seeing great friends and sharing so many memories.
What a special night for our 1996 team. Players, staff, managers and the Williams twins all came together to celebrate an unforgettable season and group. We have shared so many laughs and stories tonight. This group will always have a special place in my heart.

Watching today's Final Four has my mind wandering back to 25 years ago. I am so fortunate to have played a very small role within an incredible era of @UMassBasketball. While the 1996 team is recognized for the Final Four run, the surrounding years were awesome. #LaFamilia

How does an @CurryHicksSage tweet affect anyone's livelihood? I'
You’re kinda making it up tho. It was the team bus (aka the *coach* bus) not Rod Strickland. Hiding behind a burner when you put out inaccurate info that could impact a guy’s livelihood is pretty lame.

IMO, this has been the biggest story of the first two games of 2023/2024. Rahsool and Keon have both gotten so much better. It’s very clear they both put in the time. Guard play was my biggest question about the team coming into the season and now looks like it may be a strength.
So proud of @RahsoolDiggins3 lived in the gym this offseason and it’s paying off. Also s/o @key_6x for always being in there with Sool and pushing him to be better everyday #family big things coming!!!!!
