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.
