Vermont Wins 7th Straight, Sits Atop #AEHoops Standings at Midway Mark
BOSTON – Anthony Lamb scored 33 points at UAlbany on Saturday to power Vermont to its seventh-straight win. The Catamounts sit atop the conference standings (7-1) at the turn, followed by Stony Brook and Hartford, who sit a game back at 6-2, and UAlbany (5-3).
The top eight teams in the standings will earn #AEPlayoffs berths with the top four teams garnering home quarterfinal games. Getting off to a strong start is crucial as only four times in the league’s 40-year history has a team finished outside the top two in the final regular-season standings and gone on to win the conference championship.
