University of Massachusetts men's basketball coach Derek Kellogg had been considering trying Ricky Harris at point guard for a while after David Gibbs and Gary Correia had been inconsistent all season.

The Reno Bighorns selected 6'5' guard Desmon Farmer with their first-round pick in the 2009 NBA Development League Draft on Thursday.

If things had gone a little differently, Gary Correia could have been watching his University of Massachusetts men's basketball teammates from the opposing bench when the Minutemen compete with Boston University in a closed scrimmage on Halloween.

When Derek Kellogg arrived as University of Massachusetts men's basketball coach in 2008, he inherited an incoming guard from East Hartford, Conn., who was departing coach Travis Ford's last recruit.

The University of Massachusetts men's basketball team could bolster its front line with a familiar face.

The University of Massachusetts will live up to its name this winter as the men s basketball team will play games in four Bay State communities.

Guard Jordan Laguerre made an unofficial visit to the University of Massachusetts Wednesday.

FINAL RECORD: 12-19, 7-9, 10th in Atlantic 10. WHAT WENT RIGHT: There were some high points even during a disappointing season.

Tony Gaffney contributed plenty of blocked shots and rebounding for the Minutemen, but is he good enough to get drafted tonight? The 2009 NBA Draft will be starting shortly.

The Doug Wiggins era at the University of Massachusetts ended before the former Connecticut guard ever played a second as a Minuteman.

A 12-18 record isn't anything to write home about. However, University of Massachusetts basketball coach Derek Kellogg is hopeful that his first full recruiting class will write a new chapter in the school's hoop history.
