After a tightly contested first half, the Redhawks appeared to be in control with an 11-point advantage with just eight minutes to play.

That’s when UMass exploded for a quick 13-2 run to tie it up as the final five minutes began.

After both offenses went back and forth, Umass’s Daniel Hankins-Sanford sank a lead-taking layup with just under 30 seconds to go.

The Minutemen were able to maintain their lead and secure the upset win.

The top-seeded Redhawks are now in danger of missing the NCAA Tournament after falling to the 8th seed in the MAC Championship.
