What to Know
We’ve got another exciting Atlantic 10 matchup on schedule as the VCU Rams and the Massachusetts Minutemen are set to tip at 7:00 p.m. ET on February 20th at Mullins Center. VCU is coming into the match hot, having won their last four games.
VCU scored the most points they’ve had all season to find success on Friday. They came out on top against the Billikens by a score of 95-85. The high flying offensive effort was a huge turnaround for VCU considering their 49-point performance the contest before.
VCU can attribute much of their success to Joe Bamisile, who scored 27 points, and Max Shulga, who scored 26 points along with six rebounds. As a matter of fact, that’s the most points Shulga has scored all season.
Meanwhile, the point spread may have favored Massachusetts last Saturday, but the final result did not. They were just a bucket shy of victory and fell 82-81 to the Explorers.
Josh Cohen put forth a good effort for the losing side as he dropped a double-double on 21 points and 13 rebounds. He didn’t help Massachusetts’ cause all that much against the Spiders on Wednesday but the same can’t be said for this contest. Another player making a difference was Matt Cross, who scored 15 points along with eight rebounds and three steals.
The Rams have been performing incredibly well recently as they’ve won nine of their last ten matchups, which provided a nice bump to their 17-8 record this season. As for the Minutemen, their loss dropped their record down to 16-9.
Keep an eye on the arc in Tuesday’s game: VCU have been dynamite from deep this season, having made 36.7% of their threes per game. It’s a different story for Massachusetts, though, as they’ve only made 31.5% of their threes this season. Given VCU’s sizable advantage in that area, the Minutemen will need to find a way to close that gap.
Everything came up roses for VCU against the Minutemen in their previous meeting back in January of 2023 as the squad secured a 83-55 win. The rematch might be a little tougher for VCU since the team won’t have the home-court advantage this time around. We’ll see if the change in venue makes a difference.

BROOKFIELD – The Brookfield community gathered for a candlelight vigil Friday night, marking two years since the disappearance of 35-year-old Brittany Tee on January 10, 2023.
The community packed the Brookfield Congregational Church, surrounding the family and vowing to keep looking for Brittany.
Since that January 10th day, her family has been carrying an unrelenting weight on their hearts, not knowing where she is.
“Where is she? What happened to her?”
“They say time heals all wounds, but I disagree, not when your family member disappears out of nowhere without a trace,” said Brittany’s sister Bethany Tee. “Time is making that wound bigger. There is no healing, no closure, just daily heaviness in your heart and constant thoughts of worry. Where is she? What happened to her? Is she safe? Are we doing enough?”
The 35-year-old was last seen leaving the Main Street house she shared with her boyfriend that Tuesday evening. Despite efforts to reach her, she was never seen again.
A nearby river and woods have been searched extensively with no results.
DA attends vigil
Worcester Country District Attorney Joseph Early joined the vigil to assure the community investigators are still working the case.
“It doesn’t always happen as quickly as we would like, and that’s the tough part, that’s tough, the anxiety, the wonder,” said DA Early. “But I can tell you this, everything they do they do it better than anyone I’ve ever seen.”
Two years later, they hold onto every hope, hug, kind word and prayer, refusing to give up on finding Brittany.
“We are not giving up; we will never give up. We love and miss you Brit and we’ll bring you home,” said Bethany Tee.
The night she was last seen, Brittany wore a black winter coat, a hoodie, jeans, and work boots.
