The UMass Lowell River Hawks and the Vermont Catamounts are set to clash at 11:00 a.m. ET at Roy L Patrick Gymnasium in an America East postseason contest. UMass Lowell pulled off an upset win in their last outing, and are hoping to pull that off once more against the 7.5-point favorite Catamounts.

We saw a pretty high 159-over/under line set for UMass Lowell's previous contest, but the actual score was more down to earth. They walked away with a 77-70 win over the Bulldogs on Tuesday. The victory made it back-to-back wins for UMass Lowell.

UMass Lowell got their win on the backs of several key players, but it was Cam Morris III out in front who dropped a double-double on 14 points and 12 rebounds. It was the first time this season that Morris III pulled down ten or more rebounds. Yuri Covington was another key contributor, dropping a double-double on 17 points and ten rebounds.
