Result:
LOSS

The Vermont Catamounts are the "recognizable" team in this matchup, and that tends to put them in favor of the bettors. That allows the oddsmakers to pad the line a bit which is the case here as they take on MD Baltimore County. The Catamounts have generated over 60% of the action despite a runaway line. Vermont dispatched the Retrievers rather easily in the pair of regular season meetings, but once again, as we often see in conference tournaments, especially with teams that think they will win and go deep, rest is an important element and a much freer substitution pattern in a game well in hand. The Retrievers have come within seven and three points in their last two on the road, hold things together enough here to slip in under the number. Make the play on UMBC.
