What you should know

The Vermont Catamounts and the #6 Marquette Golden Eagles will meet in the first round of the NCAA tournament on March 17 at 2:45 p.m. ET at the Nationwide Arena. Vermont will be looking to avenge the 91-81 loss they suffered in these two teams’ last game on December 5, 2017.

The Catamounts continued to post-season success in their competition this past Saturday. They defeated the UMass Lowell River Hawks 72-59. Vermont received double-digit scores from four players: guard Dylan Penn (21), forward Matt Veretto (15), guard Finn Sullivan (14), and guard Aaron Deloney (10). Matt Veretto’s performance made up for a slower matchup against the Binghamton Bearcats last Tuesday.

Meanwhile, Marquette sauntered past the Xavier Musketeers in points last Saturday to win the game 65-51. Marquette guard Tyler Kolek did his thing and had 20 points along with eight rebounds.

A few numbers to keep in mind before you tip: Vermont comes into the matchup and boasts the 15th fewest steals per game in college basketball with five. But the Golden Eagles go into the matchup averaging 9.4 steals per game, good for ninth-ranked college basketball. Ball control could be an important factor in this case.
