After things seemed to be turning around for them, the UMass Minutemen ran into a bit of a brick wall on Saturday night as they were absolutely hammered by the Dayton Flyers, losing 76-43. Talk about a beatdown.
However, UMass' loss didn't move them down too much in the Atlantic 10 standings, as Chaz Williams and company currently sit in sixth place with the Temple Owls still in the top spot. With the A10 Tournament just a little over a week away, let's take a look at the standings as of Sunday:
