A nationally televised game in the America East is rare before the conference championship game. But Bryant and Vermont certainly warrant a spot on ESPNU on Thursday night. Both teams won their conference openers, and will look to go 2-0 with a win in Patrick Gym. In our college basketball betting picks for Thursday night, we break down this Bryant vs Vermont showdown.
Bryant vs Vermont Betting Pick
ℹ️ The Pick: | Vermont -2.5 |
? Recommended Sportsbook Promo: | First Bet on Caesars up to $1,250 |
? Promo Code: | ATSBONUSFULL |
This game will be played at Patrick Gym at 7:00 PM ET on Thursday, January 5, 2023.
Why Bet On Vermont:
✅ Vermont’s record looks bad after non-conference play, as they were a .500 team outside of the America East. But they played a top-60 schedule per Kenpom, and will look much better against America East foes.
✅ Vermont is going to slow down the outrageous pace of Bryant, who are nowhere near as talented as they were last year when they won the NEC behind Peter Kiss and Hall Elisias.
✅ Bryant barely snuck past Binghamton in their America East opener, which is troubling given Binghamton’s status as a perennial doormat in the conference.

Bryant Bulldogs
Bryant opened their account as an America East team with a win over Binghamton over the weekend, improving to 1-0 all-time as a member of the conference. But they will face a much tougher test in this game, as they have to go to Patrick Gym to take on a Vermont team that has dominated the league over the last two decades.
The Bulldogs play with the fastest adjusted tempo in college basketball, according to Kenpom. The question is whether or not that pace will be a good thing against a Vermont team that is so well-coached and so good at taking advantage of mistakes.
Vermont Catamounts
The Vermont Catamounts also won their America East opener this season, taking out UMBC on the road. Vermont played a brutal non-conference schedule this year, including games against Saint Mary’s, USC, Yale, and Iona. Here, they face another tough challenge, hoping that their non-conference schedule will have prepared them for it.
Last season, Vermont lost just one game in conference play, though this year’s team is not quite as strong as the one from that campaign. They will need to control the tempo of this game to get Bryant out of their rhythm, and to prevent the chaos that Bryant likes to cause.
