Yes, But

Vermont’s strong perimeter defense—opponents are shooting 25% from 3—faces a Quinnipiac team making 38.9% of its 3-pointers. The Bobcats’ McKnight, a preseason All-Metro first-team selection, adds another challenge.

Bottom Line

Vermont has home-court advantage and recent momentum, but containing Quinnipiac’s outside shooting will be key to claiming the challenge-game win.
