Why Bet On Maine:
✅ Maine has won four of its last five games, including three straight home games in conference play. One such win came against UMass Lowell, who is right up there with Vermont as the best team in this conference right now.
✅ While Vermont blew out Maine in their first meeting in Vermont, Maine’s defense was not bad at all in that game. They held Vermont under 70 points despite losing by double digits, and the Black Bears will be decent on defense again this time around to help cover the spread.

Vermont Catamounts
The Vermont Catamounts enter Wednesday night in first place in the America East standings. They have won five games in a row to move to 7-2 in conference play, and 13-10 overall. Here, they will look for a second convincing win over Maine in as many meetings this season, as they aim to sweep the season series.
During their five-game win streak, the Catamounts have been excellent on the defensive end of the floor. They have not allowed 70 points in a game over that span, though they have had a favorable schedule during that time. After allowing 45 points against Maine five games ago, a repeat performance could mean a sixth straight win for the Catamounts.
Maine Black Bears
The Maine Black Bears come into this game having won their last outing against the UMBC Retrievers. That was a blowout victory, with the Black Bears winning that contest 84-49 at home. Maine has won four of its last five contests, but will need to play one of its best games of this season to get back at Vermont for the result of their last meeting.
For the Black Bears, offense will be the big question mark in this matchup. They have been so hit or miss offensively this year, which makes it hard to predict where they are going to end up on a given night. But Maine has averaged 79 points per game in their last three home games, which makes them a threat on Wednesday night.
