Vermont vs Binghamton Betting Prediction

Vermont comes into this game looking to stay perfect in conference play, but they will be on the road for this matchup. The Catamounts have won four games in a row and they are only allowing 64.4 points against per game on defense. Binghamton has lost three straight games against D-1 opponents and they are allowing 72.9 points against per game this year. The Bearcats are scoring 75.3 points per game, but I think they are going to have trouble scoring against this Vermont defense. Take the under in this game.
