What to Know

After five games on the road, Yale is heading back home. They will welcome the Vermont Catamounts at 2:00 p.m. ET on Saturday at John J. Lee Amphitheater. The Bulldogs are strutting in with some offensive muscle as they've averaged 84 points per game this season.

Last Monday, Yale couldn't handle Rhode Island and fell 84-78. That's two games in a row now that the Bulldogs have lost by exactly six points.

The loss doesn't tell the whole story though, as several players had good games. One of the most active was Nick Townsend, who posted 14 points in addition to five assists and five rebounds. John Poulakidas was another key player, posting 25 points.

Meanwhile, Vermont entered their match against Brown on Tuesday without any home losses, but there's a first time for everything. Vermont fell 60-53 to Brown. The Catamounts didn't live up to their potential and found themselves falling short of the advantage oddsmakers thought they had coming into the game.

Yale now has a losing record at 4-5. As for Vermont, their defeat ended a 14-game streak of wins at home dating back to last season and dropped them to 5-5.

This contest is shaping up to be a blowout: Yale just can't miss this season, having made 49.7% of their field goals per game. It's a different story for Vermont, though, as they've only made 41.6% of their field goals this season. Given Yale's sizable advantage in that area, Vermont will need to find a way to close that gap.

Yale and Vermont were neck-and-neck in their previous meeting back in December of 2023, but Yale came up empty-handed after a 66-65 loss. Will Yale have more luck at home instead of on the road?
