What to Know

The New Jersey Tech Highlanders and the Vermont Catamounts are set to clash at 2 p.m. ET March 6 at Roy L Patrick Gymnasium in the first round of the America East Conference Tourney. The Catamounts will be strutting in after a win while New Jersey Tech will be stumbling in from a defeat.

The Highlanders received a tough blow last week as they fell 87-68 to the Stony Brook Seawolves.

Meanwhile, Vermont strolled past the Maine Black Bears with points to spare last Tuesday, taking the game 75-56.

New Jersey Tech is the clear underdog, so they're hoping it's the size of the fight that determines this one. Now might not be the best time to take New Jersey Tech against the spread since they've let down bettors for the past four consecutive games.

A pair of offensive stats to keep an eye on: New Jersey Tech is stumbling into the matchup with the ninth fewest points per game in college basketball, having accrued only 63.1 on average.
