Brown vs Vermont Prediction 

Brown comes into this matchup on a three-game winning streak and their offense has looked very solid, as they have scored 77, 83, and 89 points in those three wins. The Bears are shooting 47.3% from the field, which is much better than Vermont’s 42% shooting. The Catamounts have won four of their last five games after a rough start to the season and they will be at home here. It’s not easy to win on the road against Vermont, but I do think Brown’s offense will keep them in the game. Take the Bears and the points.
