Colgate @ Vermont

Current Records: Colgate 4-8; Vermont 7-4

What to Know

The Vermont Catamounts will be returning home after a two-game road trip. They will take on the Colgate Raiders in a holiday battle at 2 p.m. ET Wednesday at Roy L Patrick Gymnasium. The Catamounts will be strutting in after a victory while Colgate will be stumbling in from a defeat.

Vermont didn't have too much breathing room in their contest with the Brown Bears two weeks ago, but they still walked away with a 70-65 win.

Meanwhile, the game between the Raiders and the Monmouth Hawks on Sunday was not particularly close, with Colgate falling 77-66.

Vermont is the favorite in this one, with an expected 7.5-point margin of victory. Those who got lucky with them against the spread two weeks ago might want to hold off on placing bets this time since the team has yet to string together back-to-back wins against the spread.

Vermont is now 7-4 while Colgate sits at 4-8. Two stats to keep in the back of your head while watching: The Catamounts come into the matchup boasting the seventh fewest turnovers per game in college basketball at 9.1. Less enviably, the Raiders are 43rd worst in college basketball in takeaways, with only 11.5 on average. So the cards are definitely stacked against Colgate.
