Frankel 5'11" 11.0 4.2 apg Hodges 5'11" 6.2 33%3FG

A Look at the Vikings:
X's & O's

Salem State is a dynamic team offensively; they will put up big numbers via transition or through their shot-making ability in the half-court. When Hodges is on the floor, the offense flows through him, with a simple motion set allowing him to create a shot for himself or others. MIT will need to limit dribble penetration and force the Vikings to settle for long-range twos.

On the defensive end they will use an aggressive 1/2-court man, with Ortiz providing on-ball pressure. They force over 17 TO's a game, so MIT will need to be patient and meticulous on offense, as their 19 TO's led to their demise last game.

#11 MIT-52 UMB-59




Game Preview: #11 MIT vs. UMass-Boston

Ryan Frankel 5'11" 11.0 4.2 apg Layo Medina 5'5" 7 33%3FG

A Look at UMB:
X's & O's
UMass-Boston is off to one of their best starts in recent history. They use their quickness and athleticism to run a simple motion offense, reversing the ball well and constantly moving. Carl Joseph and Gregory Young do most of the heavy lifting in scoring, and will look to create offense on their own. MIT will need to be able to guard these players one-on-one, and be able to rotate efficiently.

On the defensive end, UMB runs half-court man, with their point guard applying full-court pressure. UMB is another team that will look to pressure the O, force turnovers, and make the offense pay for mistakes.
