The 2016–17 UMass Minutemen basketball team represented the University of Massachusetts Amherst during the 2016–17 NCAA Division I men's basketball season. The Minutemen, led by ninth-year head coach Derek Kellogg, played their home games at the William D. Mullins Memorial Center in Amherst, Massachusetts as members of the Atlantic 10 Conference. They finished the season 15–18, 4–14 A-10 play to finish in a tie for 12th place. As the No. 12 seed in the A-10 Tournament, they defeated Saint Joseph's in the first round before losing to St. Bonaventure in the second round.

On March 9, 2017, the school fired head coach Derek Kellogg after nine years and a 155–137 record.[1] Shortly after Kellogg was fired, the school announced that Winthrop head coach Pat Kelsey had been hired as the new head coach at UMass.[2] However, shortly before the press conference to announce his hiring, Kelsey announced he would not accept the position.[3] On March 31, the school announced they had hired Chattanooga head coach Matt McCall.[4]

gollark: They need accurate timing from *something* and I doubt they'll just use random public NTP servers.

gollark: They say there are $0.75 of energy costs at the datacentre for streaming a 3GB video.

gollark: Time is very important for security.

gollark: I think that's just for timing without reliance on external sources.

gollark: Anyway, given their estimate of the energy costs borne by the data centre end to stream a video, and the fact that Netflix makes money at their price point, their estimates can't actually be right.
