Vermont Analysis: Currently on a 10-game winning streak
After winning ten straight games to secure the America East automatic bid, Vermont is among the most exciting teams in college basketball going into the tournament. With 3 consecutive league titles under their belt and preparations for their 6th NCAA Tournament berth since 2016, the Catamounts have cemented their status as the conference’s best team. This season, they are attempting to advance farther as they haven’t advanced past the first round since 2005. The Catamounts are battle-tested heading into the Big Dance, having overcome double-digit deficits in 5 wins and trailing by 3 points at the half of the America East championship game. They have an opportunity to make this an ugly game and prevent Duke from getting into a groove because they are 9th in the country in scoring defense.
