Current Records: Hartford 3-10; Vermont 12-4

What to Know

The Vermont Catamounts will be returning home after a two-game road trip. The Catamounts and the Hartford Hawks will face off in an America East battle at 7 p.m. ET Saturday at Roy L Patrick Gymnasium. Vermont is out to keep their six-game home win streak alive.

Vermont made easy work of the New Jersey Tech Highlanders on Wednesday and carried off an 83-57 victory.

Meanwhile, the New Hamp. Wildcats typically have all the answers at home, but on Wednesday Hartford proved too difficult a challenge. Hartford strolled past New Hamp. with points to spare, taking the game 69-57.

The Catamounts are the favorite in this one, with an expected 17.5-point margin of victory. They might be worth taking a chance on against the spread as they are currently on a six-game streak of ATS wins.

Vermont was within striking distance but couldn't close the gap when the two teams previously met in March of last year as they fell 71-65 to the Hawks. The loss knocked Vermont out of the playoffs, so expect them to come at Hartford with a vengeful fire.
