Freshman guard Quinton Rose gave University of Massachusetts Amherst freshman guard DeJon Jarreau a lot of space as he held the ball beyond the 3-point arc with just less than 40 seconds left in Thursday’s game. It was as if Rose was challenging Jarreau to take a jump shot instead of driving to the paint.
Jarreau stepped up and splashed a 3-pointer to give the Minutemen a one-point lead with 34 seconds remaining. It was a lead they would not relinquish.
A missed 3-pointer by redshirt-senior guard and forward Daniel Dingle and a breakaway layup by Jarreau sealed the deal as the Owls dropped their first road game of the season 70-67 to Massachusetts.
