Outlook

This Vermont team is gonna have a chance to play in March like they’ve become so accustomed to. If the young guys can give good contributions.

People talk about this team’s goal is to just make the NCAA tournament. They have enough talent to win a game once they get there.

You need a star to carry you if you’re gonna pull off those upsets and they have that. Anthony Lamb is a special player that many people don’t know about. If he gets a shot to show America what he’s made of on national television, you don’t want to miss it.

It all starts with winning the conference though. They have the best player and the best team so you’ve gotta like their chances to at least win the regular season title.

We all know those regular-season titles don’t mean much though. They were the best team in the conference last year and they didn’t make the NCAA tournament then so anything is possible.

This Vermont basketball team needs to be playing well late in the season if they want to have any chance at making the big dance. It doesn’t matter how good you are, you’ll face a team that gets hot. You’ve just got to be able to stop them.
