What to Know

Get ready for an America East battle as the Vermont Catamounts and the Albany Great Danes will face off at 7 p.m. ET Saturday at SEFCU Arena. Vermont won't have the home-court advantage, but they do enjoy an 11.5-point advantage in the spread.

The sound you heard on Wednesday was the absolute smackdown the Catamounts laid on the Binghamton Bearcats.

Meanwhile, Albany came up short against the Maine Black Bears on Wednesday, falling 73-63. If the result catches you off guard, it should: the Great Danes were far and away the favorite.

This next matchup looks promising for Vermont, who are favored by a full 11.5 points. They are currently three-for-three against the spread in their most recent games, a trend bettors might want to take into account.

Vermont is now 19-4 while Albany sits at 10-14. A pair of offensive numbers to keep in mind before tip-off: The Catamounts rank fourth in college basketball when it comes to field goal percentage, with 49.60% on the season. Less enviably, the Great Danes are stumbling into the contest with the fourth fewest points per game in college basketball, having accrued only 62.1 on average. So the cards are definitely stacked against Albany.
