BOSTON - Just one week remains in the 2016-17 America East men's basketball regular season and Vermont is still unbeaten in conference play. The Catamounts, who have secured at least a share of the America East regular-season title, became just the fourth America East team to improve to 14-0 in conference play and extended their win streak to 16 games, the second-longest streak in the nation, last week. Vermont can become the first #AEHoops team to go a perfect 16-0 and just the third to go unbeaten with two more wins. Stony Brook (12-2) has won six straight and 13 of its last 15 games to secure at top two seed while Albany (9-5) has won six of its last seven and locked up a home quarterfinal game.
