Winning is just a little bit easier when your shooting is a whole 17.1% better than the opposition, a fact Massachusetts proved on Tuesday. They were the clear victor by a 74-52 margin over the Rams. The oddsmakers were on Massachusetts’ side, but they didn’t give the squad enough credit as the margin was unexpectedly wide.
Massachusetts relied on the efforts of Matt Cross, who dropped a double-double on 18 points and 12 rebounds, and Josh Cohen, who scored 20 points along with seven rebounds.
Meanwhile, the Bonnies came up short against the Explorers on Wednesday and fell 72-59.
Despite the loss, St. Bona. got a solid performance out of Chad Venning, who scored 22 points.
St. Bona. struggled to get the ball back on offense and finished the game with only three offensive rebounds. That’s the fewest offensive rebounds they’ve managed all season.

Saturday’s contest is shaping up to be a scrappy contest: Massachusetts have been smashing the glass this season, having averaged 38.9 rebounds per game. It’s a different story for St. Bona., though, as they’ve been averaging only 33.1 rebounds per game. Given Massachusetts’ sizable advantage in that area, the Bonnies will need to find a way to close that gap.

Life Care Center of Raynham has received a deficiency‑free inspection result from the Massachusetts Department of Public Health, a distinction awarded to a small share of the state’s licensed nursing homes, according to a community announcement.
The inspection was conducted as part of the state’s routine, unannounced nursing home survey process overseen by the Massachusetts Department of Public Health. These comprehensive, multi‑day inspections evaluate multiple aspects of facility operations, including staffing levels, quality of care, medication management, cleanliness, food service and resident rights.
State survey records show that Life Care Center of Raynham met required standards during its most recent standard survey, with no deficiencies cited, based on publicly available state data.
The announcement states that fewer than 8% of Massachusetts nursing homes achieve deficiency‑free survey results. That figure could not be independently verified through state or federal data and is attributed to the announcement.
In addition to the state survey outcome, the facility is listed as a five‑star provider for quality measures on the federal Medicare Care Compare website. The five‑star quality measure rating reflects above‑average performance compared with other nursing homes nationwide, according to federal rating methodology.
Officials said the inspection results reflect ongoing compliance with state and federal standards designed to protect resident health and safety. According to the announcement, the outcome is attributed to staff performance and internal quality practices.
