Vermont 81 WPI 48
Vermont took care of business in their home opener against WPI. The down division game is always a little wonky to write about. The result is never in doubt and the play is inconsistent. It is good to get a look at some of the deeper parts of the rotation and get some run for the bench guys. Tonight Ryan Davis rightfully dominated against an overmatched WPI frontcourt. It was good to see Kam Gibson and Finn Sullivan knock down some threes as they are going to have be Vermont's threats form the perimeter. The overall shooting from distance remains a major concern. They are really missing that three point specialist as a steadying force. They have 2/3rds of the trifecta of a dominant team. They don't turn the ball over and play tough defense. Finding that consistent perimeter shooting is the missing piece. Just a short write up for this one. Although big shoutout to Georges Lefebvre for the highlight of the night with a monster dunk. It was great to be back at Patrick for some regular season basketball and I am beyond hyped for the big showdown with Yale on Friday. Yale is always a tough, physical game. There is not doubt there will be some good fan energy for that one.
Davis drawing doubles will be a major help in getting space for Cam and Finn. We seemed to be missing that in the Maryland game.
