UMass also advanced to the A-10 Quarterfinals for the first time since 2016 after a 34-point victory in the A-10 Second Round over Saint Joseph’s, the largest margin of victory in Atlantic 10 Championship Tournament history.

In his first season, the program set a school record with 29 wins, captured the SoCon Regular Season and Tournament Championships and advanced to the NCAA Tournament.

During his time at Chattanooga, McCall compiled an overall record of 48-18 with marks of 25-11 in league action and 24-4 at home.

McCall spent 11 seasons, between two stints, with Billy Donovan at the University of Florida.
