Vermont has now gone four games without last year's leading
scorer, Anthony Lamb, but his absence hasn't derailed them at
all. UVM has won all four, including three by double digits. The
lone exception was a nice win at Harvard.
They've filled in the void with a mix of Urquhart and Nate
Rohrer. It's crazy how OLD this team is – seniors, redshirt
this, redshirt that. They've all played a lot of basketball over
their time, including into the postseason each of the last
number of years. A lot of teams would have been steamrolled by
an injury to a guy like Lamb, but it was next man up for UVM. Of
course, Bell-Haynes is the most important piece to the puzzle.
He's the reigning conference POY, and is the odds-on favorite to
repeat I would think. He's had a heck of a career.
While this year's hallmark wins really don't move the needle too
well – neutral floor against Northern Kentucky (68) and Bradley
(118) – people will probably always look back at their
season-opening 73-69 loss at Kentucky as a reason to believe in
UVM. They trailed by as many as 14 in the second half, but
slowly reeled UK back in, chopping the deficit to three with two
minutes left. It would have been an enormous win, but they
nevertheless showed they can play with the big fellas.
But can they do it in the tournament? I think we all expect
Vermont to cut down the nets in March, and they'd be looking at
a 5/12 or 4/13 game. Last year, UVM earned a 13 and lost to
fourth-seeded Purdue in the first round, 80-70. I highly doubt
any team wants to see their name pop up opposite theirs on
Selection Sunday due to their experience and guard play. And
because they can reeeeeally shoot it. UVM ranks 17th in the
country in three-point FG% (.410) and 28th in overall FG% (.490)
– geez, Virginia Tech shoots it better than 52%! Back on topic
... it would be a lot easier with Lamb, but couldn't you see UVM
in the Sweet 16? Knock off some fledgling 5 and 4 seeds?
You wonder what happens to Becker if he keeps posting win after
win after win. He's 151-74 at UVM, including 80-18 in
conference. I don't see anyone knocking them off this year. GW
(Becker's alma mater) is off to a dismal start in Atlantic 10
play, but I doubt they'd give up on Maurice Joseph after two
years unless it completely unraveled. Could UConn go in another
direction? I think Jim Christian at BC has bought a little time
for himself. There will be plenty of openings nationwide, but I
was just looking at the region first. Who knows what Becker's
intentions are.

Vermont at home and we go down by 15 points. I don't see a win
this Saturday even with Lamb on the sidelines.
