What to Know

The Oakland Golden Grizzlies will take on the Vermont Catamounts at 1:30 p.m. ET Monday at Hertz Arena. Vermont will be strutting in after a win while the Golden Grizzlies will be stumbling in from a defeat.

Oakland found themselves the reluctant recipients of an unpleasant 86-59 punch to the gut against the Alabama Crimson Tide this past Friday. Forward Trey Townsend wasn't much of a difference maker for Oakland; Townsend played for 37 minutes but put up just eight points on 2-for-11 shooting.

Meanwhile, Vermont beat the Yale Bulldogs 61-53 this past Friday.

Oakland is expected to lose this next one by 3. If their 3-1 record against the spread is anything to go by, the prospects look good for bets placed on them.

The Golden Grizzlies are now 2-2 while the Catamounts sit at 3-1. Two stats to keep in the back of your head while watching: Oakland is 30th worst in college basketball in points per game, with only 62 on average. Vermont's defense has more to brag about, as they they rank 25th in college basketball when it comes to points allowed per game, with only 56.5 on average. So the cards are definitely stacked in their favor.
