Vermont basketball odds at UMBC

How Did We Get Here?

After falling to Marquette in the first round of the 2023 NCAA Tournament, the Catamounts inherited some competition atop the America East standings. As of this publishing, the River Hawks are slight favorites to win the conference's regular season title at . The two programs won't square off until Jan. 25, in which Vermont is projected as a short-road underdog.

This version of Vermont follows a similar script as Becker's previous teams. The Catamounts amass the 33rd-highest perimeter scoring rate in Division I. Their offense also operates in a snail-like fashion, ranking No. 335 in adjusted tempo. For reference, this metric refers to the estimate of the tempo (possessions per 40 minutes) a team would generate against an opponent, aiming to play at an average D-I tempo.

Veterans TJ Long and Shamir Bogues, who recently returned from an undisclosed injury, represent the backcourt catalysts while Aaron Deloney struggles to find his normally reliable jumper. The fifth-year senior is shooting just 30.6% from behind the arc.

Vermont Score Predictions

According to my college basketball power rankings, the Catamounts and Retrievers are separated by around 12.5 points. Toss in a small home-court edge for UMBC, and this spread is likely inflated at Vermont . However, the Retrievers deserve a spot on your no-bet list (if they aren't already), sporting one of the worst defenses in college basketball.

FanDuel is offering first-time Vermont customers $200 bonus bets after placing a minimum wager of $5. This promo is only available for new FanDuel Sportsbook users. Bettors can join FanDuel by clicking the banner on this page and depositing $10 into their accounts.

FanDuel will award eight separate $25 bonus bets following the first cash bet of at least $5. Remember that bonus bets are very different from cash wagers. The former resemble bet credits that can only be used with the designated operator. Players can't withdraw bonus bets as real cash funds.

Moreover, the sportsbook doesn't pay the initial stake back on winning wagers using bonus bets. Users will solely inherit the profit in this case.
