Like last year, for every UMass game this season, I'll be giving out
three stars to the top three performers from the Minutemen and keeping
track of who earns the most three-start points over the course of the
season.

I'm putting a little extra weight on No. 1. So a No. 1
star is worth five points. A No. 2 is worth three and a No. 3 is worth
two.

Three Stars from UMass vs. Saint Joseph's

No. 1 - Chaz Williams - Another terrific game. He'll likely have a good shot at A-10 Player of the Week.

No. 2 - Raphiael Putney - He led the surge that erased UMass' early hole and added another memorable dunk to his resume.

No. 3 - Terrell Vinson/Sean Carter - Neither deserved to be left off this list after strong games by both players.

Season to date points:

Chaz Williams - 35
Terrell Vinson - 30
Raphiael Putney 19
Jesse Morgan 14
Freddie Riley - 14
Cady Lalanne -13
Sean Carter - 9
Javorn Farrell - 7
Maxie Esho -5
Sampson Carter -4
