How to watch: UVM men’s, women’s basketball teams on the road on Dec. 6

After a pair of nail-biting victories and, one case improbable, the University of Vermont men’s and women’s basketball teams continue on with their nonconference schedules this week.

The Vermont men (7-2) head to Boston to resume its old rivalry with Northeastern while the Vermont women (5-4) travel to West Point, New York, to square off against Army.

The Catamount men are coming off a wild, last-second comeback against Yale when TJ Long’s banked 3-pointer and ensuing free throw with three-tenths of a second to go gave the hosts a dramatic 66-65 triumph. For the Catamount women, Emma Utterback’s jumper with 1:29 to play put Vermont ahead to stay in a 46-44 win over Holy Cross.

Vermont and Northeastern are meeting for the first time since 2018; its last previously scheduled matchup in 2021 was canceled due to positive COVID tests within the Huskies’ program. Northeastern leads the all-time series 44-29. The Catamounts might also be without starters Matt Veretto (eye) and Shamir Bogues (ankle/foot), who are both are day-to-day, according to coach John Becker.

“I’m going to prepare like they are not going to play,” Becker said Tuesday. “They have not been ruled out yet.”

Last year, the Vermont women beat Army in the teams’ first head-to-head matchup in three decades.

Essex Junction teen dies in Beltline crash

BURLINGTON, Vt. (WCAX) – An Essex teen is dead following a crash on Burlington’s Beltline, also known as Route 127.

Burlington Police Chief Jon Murad says it happened just south of the North Avenue interchange on Route 127 at around 5:30 p.m.

He says an Audi was speeding going southbound when it crossed the median and struck a jeep. The driver of the Audi, 18-year-old Mark Omand of Essex Junction, was killed in the crash.

The person driving the Jeep, 45-year-old Derek Lorrain of Burlington, had to be extracted from the car by the fire department and was sent to the hospital.

No one else was involved in the crash.

There were also reports of power outages in Burlington’s New North End at around the same time, but it’s unconfirmed if it was related to or caused by this crash.

The most anticipated TV shows of 2025

USA TODAY TV critic Kelly Lawler shares her top 5 TV shows she is most excited for this year

It’s time to hit the books: one of Vermont’s most popular colleges may be one that doesn’t exist.

The Jan. 15 New York Times mini crossword game hinted at a fictional Vermont college that’s used as the setting of the show “The Sex Lives of College Girls.”

The show, which was co-created by New Englander Mindy Kaling, follows a group of women in college as they navigate relationships, school and adulthood.

“The Sex Lives of College Girls” first premiered on Max, formerly HBO Max, in 2021. Its third season was released in November 2024.

Here’s what to know about the show’s fictional setting.

What is the fictional college in ‘The Sex Lives of College Girls’?

“The Sex Lives of College Girls” takes place at a fictional prestigious college in Vermont called Essex College.

According to Vulture, Essex College was developed by the show’s co-creators, Kaling and Justin Noble, based on real colleges like their respective alma maters, Dartmouth College and Yale University.

“Right before COVID hit, we planned a research trip to the East Coast and set meetings with all these different groups of young women at these colleges and chatted about what their experiences were,” Noble told the outlet in 2021.

Kaling also said in an interview with Parade that she and Noble ventured to their alma maters because they “both, in some ways, fit this East Coast story” that is depicted in the show.

Where is ‘The Sex Lives of College Girls’ filmed?

Although “The Sex Lives of College Girls” features a New England college, the show wasn’t filmed in the area.

The show’s first season was filmed in Los Angeles, while some of the campus scenes were shot at Vassar College in Poughkeepsie, New York. The second season was partially filmed at the University of Washington in Seattle, Washington.
