Vermont at NC Wilmington

This is far from the Vermont team that made a name for itself by knocking off Syracuse in the NCAA Tournament a couple of years ago. It is also a far cry from the 25-win NIT team of a year ago. The American East is one of the lowest-rated conferences this season and Vermont is barely at breakeven point in their own conference. A road loss at 5-21 Stony Brook this week says it all. NC-Wilmington has won seven straight at home in a much better Colonial Conference and stands at 11-5 in Conference play. The Seahawks can really score, as they have the No. 18-best shooting team in the country at 48.3%. The Seahawks also have three players that connect on over 40% from three-point range and just have too much firepower for a young and less talented Catamount team.
