The St. Louis Rams&#39; defensive backfield was depleted by injuries in a loss to Buffalo on Sunday, with the most serious to backup cornerback DeJuan Groce, who hurt his left knee.

A team starting four sophomores, the University of Massachusetts Minutemen have played with a certain playground style all year. They climb the ladder, then go down the slide. They spend many hours on the seesaw. The big wins have been followed by big losses.

They looked surprisingly strong against nonconference foes, but last night when the University of Massachusetts Minutemen opened Atlantic 10 play, they seemed, paradoxically, out of their league.

ST. LOUIS Â· The Rams desperately needed a win and played like it. The Eagles desperately wanted to stay healthy and played like it.

What would have been the most excruciating kind of loss turned into the most exhilarating kind of win last night for the University of Massachusetts men&#39;s basketball team.

The weather and the offenses could be described in one word: cold. In a low-scoring affair yesterday, ninth-ranked Waltham came up with the only touchdown of the game in a 7-0 victory over Brockton. Waltham coach Paul Mayberry was not surprised at all by the outcome. His team was prepared for a grind-it-out defensive battle.

AMHERST -- There is no out of bounds. When a deflected pass flew over the scorer's table at practice Tuesday, three Minutemen raced after it, wrestling for the ball in the Mullins Center seats. University of Massachusetts men's basketball coach Travis Ford would have it no other way. Ferocity: That's one thing he's looking for.

With no students yet on campus and a sporadic rain falling on Boston University's Nickerson Field, there wasn't much of a turnout backing the home team at last Sunday's soccer game against UMass-Amherst.

Maybe it was the flu that hit the Minutemen following last week's win over Saint Joseph's and wiped out practices leading up to the Atlantic 10 tournament. Maybe it was a tough opponent, playing a physical game, or maybe it was just bad karma.

BILLERICA -- Perhaps the loudest statement to come out of Shawsheen's 48-0 drubbing of previously undefeated Minuteman came as Ram coach Al Costabile was addressing his squad following the game.

The cynics will point to the final score of Boston College's 29-7 victory over the University of Massachusetts yesterday before an Alumni Stadium crowd of 43,262 and conclude that the Eagles didn't win convincingly enough against their Division 1-AA opponents.

AMHERST -- Deval Patrick couldn't be present for the presentation of the Governor's Cup at the end of Boston College's 84-73 victory over Massachusetts in last night's Commonwealth Classic. So the job fell upon UMass athletic director John McCutcheon, who had hoped to hand the hardware to his basketball coach, Travis Ford.

Depleted but not defeated, the University of Massachusetts scored a dramatic 67-65 victory over Boston University last night at the Mullins Center.

For at least one game, the pass-happy St. Louis Rams relied on the running game. A week after coming under heavy criticism for a game plan that featured 49 passes and just 15 runs in a 28-25 overtime loss at home against New Orleans, coach Mike Martz used the run early and often in a 24-14 win Sunday night at San Francisco, evening the Rams' record at 2-2.
