Outlook: The Bears have won three in a row after edging UMBC 77-76 in overtime Saturday, when Vermont handled Hartford 82-56. The Catamounts have won six straight and nine of 10. A key is the health of Fraser, who hurt his right ankle at UMBC. If he can’t go, the Bears’ front line will be greatly diminished in its post scoring, defense and rebounding. UVM is adept at getting to the foul line and is shooting a league-best 78 percent in AE play. The Cats also routinely outrebound opponents. UMaine is 3-2 this season in “The Pit.”
0-2 against AE teams in The ArmPIT. It’s also been 378 days since UMO defeated a team with a record above .500. Ouch!
i think maine will end that tonight and who cares about your stats it means nothing to them
Ummm… those stats are the results of a combo of poor talent & coaching, not fantasy numbers….
as i said i don’t it matters to them what you think they go out and do the best they can and i bet you anything you wouldn’t do any better trust me i know what i am talking about i have friends who are college coaches and even high school coaches and not only that i know that some coaches don’t care what people think they brush it off and try to improve their teams do the best they can
