UMass-Lowell has lost 99.6% of its scoring from last year’s team (reserve forward Keenan Bey is the only returning player). In the opener, Austin Green had a team-high 21 points and 13 rebounds in 21 minutes for UMass-Lowell, which is picked to finish fourth of nine teams in the America East Conference. Freshman guard JJ Massaquoi (14 points), Khalil Farmer (14 points) and Jared Frey (10 points) were the other scorers in double figures for UMass-Lowell against Rivier. No. 4 UConn: The Huskies, who opened their season Monday with a 79-55 home victory over New Haven, are led by three preseason all-Big East players: Solo Ball (18 points against New Haven), Alex Karaban (a team-high 19 points in the opener) and Tarris Reed Jr. (who has been nursing a hamstring injury). Coach Dan Hurley, who led UConn to consecutive championships in 2023-24, also is depending on an influx of youth and transfer talent joining a team expected to make another deep run in the NCAA Tournament. Point guard Silas Demary Jr., a transfer from Georgia, and Daytona transfer Malachi Smith are key additions, and a highly touted freshman class includes 7-1 center Eric Reibe, Jacob Furphy and Braylon Mullins (the preseason Big East freshman of the year who is out with an ankle injury).
