Both Vermont (16-7, 9-2 AE) and Boston U. (13-11, 7-4 AE) come into Tuesday's game red hot. The Catamounts have won four straight and seven of eight, while the Terriers have won consecutive games and five of their last six overall. The game will pit the league's top offense against its top defense. Boston U. leads the league scoring 68.2 points per game, while Vermont paces the conference and ranks 13th nationally allowing just 57.3 points per game.
This will be the 99th all-time meeting between the two teams. Boston U. holds a 54-44 edge and won the first meeting between the two teams this season, downing UVM 63-53 on Jan. 8. Vermont, which has won 13 straight games at home against America East foes, swept last year's season series.

The Seawolves suffered just their second league loss Sunday at the hands of Hartford and had their four-game win streak snapped. They return home, where they have won 13-straight conference games, for the first time since Jan. 26. The Bearcats are looking to snap their five-game losing skid.
