What to Know

The Vermont Catamounts are 11-3 against the UMass Lowell River Hawks since January of 2016, and they'll have a chance to extend that success Wednesday. Vermont and UMass Lowell will face off in an America East battle at 6 p.m. ET at Costello Athletic Center. Given that both teams suffered a loss in their last game, they both have a little extra motivation heading into this game.

The Catamounts came up short against the New Hamp. Wildcats on Sunday, falling 67-60.

Meanwhile, the point spread favored the River Hawks on Sunday, but luck did not. They have to be aching after a bruising 89-63 loss to the Albany Great Danes.

The losses put Vermont at 8-8 and UMass Lowell at 14-3. A couple numbers to keep in mind before tip-off: Vermont is 32nd worst in college basketball in takeaways, with only 11.4 on average. The River Hawks have experienced some struggles of their own as they are stumbling into the matchup with the 11th most turnovers per game in college basketball, having accrued 15.4 on average. It's possible one of these Achilles' heels will wind up tripping the losing team up.
