Stony Brook ranks 20th in the country in defense allowing less than 60 points a game. Vermont ranks even better at 12th in the nation allowing just 57 points per game.

The key is figuring out if this game will play out to form with such a low total. I believe it will. These teams are about defense. Neither team is up-tempo and neither are good from the foul line.

Vermont is especially stingy at home giving up an average of less than 52 points per game, including holding foes to 48 points during their past six home matchups.
