Lamar vs. Vermont

The NCAAB Tournament play in round will feature Vermont taking on Lamar. While most remember the Cinderella ride the Catamounts took a few years ago when they upset Syracuse, this is not the same team nor the same coach. Vermont took on just three tournament bound teams and lost to all of them by plenty,  In their conference championship run, they needed overtime to get past a Hartford squad that finished at 9-22 for the season. Lamar is the unknown quantity here. The Cardinals can score from anywhere on the floor with adequate 3pt shooting capability and has great balance with five players contributing 9ppg or more. Lamar has a perfect 7-0 ATS mark in their last seven games facing an opponent over .600. Play this one on Lamar.
