Vermont comes into this matchup towards the top of the conference standings and they will be at home for this game, but they have not been as dominant as we are used to seeing.

New Hampshire is just 4-6 in conference play and they are shooting 41.3% from the field this season, but they have won two games in a row. Vermont won the first meeting between these teams by 20 points on the road and I expect them to roll to another victory here. Take the Catamounts in this game.
