America East

The America East begins its conference tournament tomorrow night. All games are played at campus sites of the higher seed.

The prohibitive favorite will be Vermont. Vermont went 15-1 in league and is 64th in KenPom. Should they make it through, they’ll be a test for someone in the opening round. Their only loss in conference was a 1-point loss to Hartford. They lost by 4 to Kentucky and 2 to St. Bonaventure during the regular season.

UMBC is the 2-seee but Albany is well ahead of them in KenPom. Albany is the 4-seed and probably a team that can pose problems for Vermont in round 2. Vermont beat them by 11 and 5 during the regular season. 

The Pick: Vermont
