Why Bet On Vermont:
✅ UMass Lowell has a much better record than Vermont, but look at the strength of schedules for these teams. Per Kenpom, Lowell’s schedule is ranked 360th out of 363 college basketball teams in Division I, while Vermont’s is ranked 51st. A battle tested Vermont team will get the win here.
✅ Vermont’s guard play is vastly superior to that of UMass Lowell, as the River Hawks are led in scoring by forward Abdoul Coulibaly at 12.3 points per game. The River Hawks have nobody like an Obi Noel from seasons past to make the kinds of plays you need to win games like this one.
✅ Vermont has had success against teams that play an uptempo style already this season. They neutralized the pace of Bryant in conference play, and will do the same here.

Vermont Catamounts
The Vermont Catamounts have won two of their first three games in America East play. They come into this contest off of a road loss against the New Hampshire Wildcats, with Vermont’s offense letting them down in a 67-60 defeat. Here, the Catamounts look to get back into the win column and improve to 2-1 in road games during league play.
For the Catamounts, the key to this game is going to be slowing down the River Hawks, who play a top-80 tempo in the country according to Kenpom. Forcing the River Hawks into half court basketball will expose the fact that they do not have the type of penetrators at the guard spots that could really hassle the Vermont defense.
UMass Lowell River Hawks
UMass Lowell is also 2-1 in conference play, and they are also coming off of a road loss to an America East opponent. The River Hawks were blown out by the Albany Great Danes over the weekend in upstate New York. Here, they will look to get back on track at home, as they face the gold standard in the America East here.
It is difficult to tell just how good Lowell is this season, as they have played such a soft schedule. Their first two conference wins came against Maine and NJIT, both of whom are ranked in the 300s overall by Kenpom. In their biggest test of the conference season so far, how they handle the pressure in this litmus test of a game will be very telling.
