We’ll see, I’m not going to pretend to understand how they determine who hosts this, the better record didn’t always get the home game

If you believe wikipedia its based on bidding.  Just looked it up. So if we want the game Dr. C can pony up.  Its a for profit event.

Bullshart, I think we deserve another home game with all the work we've done. At least a neutral site.

I wonder if its actually bidding.. seems like a quick announcement. 

[Lord Elrond]

It’s on the Vermont athletics website now. This is their 4th game, and will be their 3rd home game of this tournament. Maybe the bidding is done before the last game is played on a contingency basis?
 

Good news is this is on ESPN+ per the VT website

[Lord Elrond]

Former SLU player Sarah Lazar is on the Catamounts. She only got in 4 games her freshman year (Lisa Stone’s last season)  and went into the portal before Coach Tillett was hired.

We are playing basketball games in April.  Amazing.  So cool.  Are we hanging an NIT Final Four banner? After winning at least 3 road games, I would.    Is this the same arena in Wisconsin that the Gray/Douglass men’s team beat UW on their way to the men’s NIT championship game back in the day?  

[Lord Elrond]

From the stats, Vermont tends to play low scoring games, they averaged only 59.6 pts a game, only give up 52.7 pts a game. Leading scorer is #23 Emma Utterback averaging 14.4 per game. Overall not a good 3pt team, shooting only .314 from 3 for the season, but they do have a sharpshooter in #04 Andjela Matic who was 46 of 97 for .474 from 3 for the season, which is ridiculously absurd, guard her closely from the arc when she’s in the game. Vermont did play Dubuque in Burlington in Dec, beat them 77-61, only common opponent I could find.

Kohl Center opened in 1998. That’s the thing about B1G schools, always building new facilities

Bills are 1.5 pt. road favorites tonight. Hope they can get the dub.

[White Pelican]

Women's game about to start at Vermont. On espn+.

[Lord Elrond]

Catamounts starting cold

[Lord Elrond]

13-12 SLU after 1 qtr.

[White Pelican]

Cats slow starting. Too bad we didn't take advantage.

[Lord Elrond]

Weird they took so long to decide on that 3, now 13-11 Billikens

[Lord Elrond]

Hopefully SLU can get this whatever it is out of their system soon…

[White Pelican]

Man, this is some brutal basketball to watch. Neither team is playing well.

[Lord Elrond]

24-17 Catamounts at the half, not good basketball is right. Need to get a lot more of those shots to drop

[billikenfan05]

This team is so dumb in the best way. 

[Lord Elrond]

41-37 Billikens after 3, guess they made the right adjustments at half time

[billikenfan05]

attending a game there looks like the least comfortable experience unless you’re standing.

No bleep. Most high school gyms look better than this

[White Pelican]

I love Martinez when she's passing. Not so much when shooting.
