In a rematch of last year's America East conference finals, UMass-Lowell and Vermont renew hostilities in what should be a highly-entertaining game. Both teams are playing good ball, but our betting picks see a path to victory for the underdogs.
With a true homecourt advantage, can the Catamounts find a way to slow down the River Hawks offense? Or will UMass-Lowell finally break through the Catamounts for the first time this season and earn an automatic bid into thetake the court on Saturday, they'll aim to secure a victory that will not only crown them America East champions, but also earn them an automatic bid into their third consecutive March Madness tournament.
When analyzing the River Hawks, they play their best basketball when the tempo is high, as they rank 19th in pace, with over 71 possessions per game, and score nearly 81 points per contest, which is a Top-30 mark. In a game that's a contrast in styles, and with everything to play for, I'll side with the team that's capable of scoring points in bunches in what I expect to be a highly entertaining contest. Unsurprisingly, Vermont opened as home favorites upwards of -7.5 points but they've been less than stellar at covering spreads this year. The Catamounts own just a 14-17 mark ATS despite just six losses this year.
