Holy Cross Basketball to Play UMass at DCU Center on November 20
Saturday, May 14, 2016
“We look forward to resuming our series with UMass. We always want to challenge ourselves against top competition, and it is an added bonus that we can do so against an in-state rival. This year’s game will provide an excellent opportunity for our fans to see us play in downtown Worcester, and we anticipate there being a great atmosphere in the building," said Holy Cross coach Bill Carmody.
This will be the 57th meeting between the two programs. Holy Cross leads the all-time series 36-20.
Holy Cross at the DCU Center
The Crusaders have played a total of 21 games at the DCU Center with their last one coming in 2011 when they defeated Boston College 86-64.
Holy Cross and UMass have met at the DCU Center on three prior occasions, with UMass holding a 2-1 advantage in those games.
