738 - (6) Vermont women at (3) Stony Brook
America East quarterfinals
March 6 at Island Federal Arena in Stony Brook, NY
ESPN +
Shania Johnson continued her incredible senior season in leading the third-seeded Seawolves into the semifinals.
Johnson broke her own school record with 16 assists (she's fourth in the country in the category) and added 14 points and India Pagan scored a career-high 21 points (on 10-of-13 shooting) in Stony Brook's 69-58 win.
Johnson's back court mate Jerell Matthews' night became sort of an afterthought, but it shouldn't have been. The 5-9 senior drained six 3-pointers (on 10 attempts) and scored 20 points to go along with a team-high eight rebounds.
The Seawolves erased a six-point halftime deficit thanks to a dominant third quarter (28-15).
Vermont got a game-high 28 points from Hanna Crymble.

Game 302 - Vermont at UMBC
February 12 at Retrievers Activities Center in Baltimore, MD
espn3.com
UMBC simply can't find a way to beat its America East rivals.
That's 21 consecutive losses in the series for the Retrievers after a big comeback fell one possession short in a 77-74 defeat.
Vermont led 62-44 with just under seven minutes to play and was seemingly on its way to a convincing win. Instead, UMBC fought back and got as close as 75-74 on a pair of K.J. Maura free throws with 6.8 seconds to go. It was a three-point game when Maura's original pass was deflected by Dre Wills, Maura picked up the loose ball and his 40-foot heave at the buzzer bounced off the front of the rim and over the backboard.
It was just the third time the final margin was in single-digits during the losing streak that dates back to the 2007-08 season.
Vermont not only tied a school-record with its 15th consecutive victory, but thanks to Cincinnati's loss to SMU on Sunday, now has the second-longest winning streak (Gonzaga, 26) in the country.
Wills was fantastic, finishing with 22 points (on 9-of-12 shooting) and 13 rebounds. Maura also scored a game-high 22 for UMBC.

Game 176 - (3) Vermont at (1) Stony Brook
America East championship
March 12 at USB Sports Complex in Stony Brook, NY
ESPN
Stony Brook had never been to the NCAA Tournament and it looked like that drought would continue on Saturday morning.
Vermont led 48-33 about five minutes into the second half and you could hear a seawolf drop onto a catamount.
But Jameel Warney was absolutely fantastic. The senior scored 43 points - 23 of which came over the final 15 minutes - on 18-of-22 shooting, and sent the Seawolves to the NCAAs for the first time in school history.
I don't know much about translating college size into NBA size, but Warney is 6-8, 260, so small forward? He's already got an NBA post game that continues to develop and is also an excellent defender (America East DPOY). Before he graduates to the pros, though, Worley certainly gives the new America East champions (maybe a 14-seed?) a shot at a first-round upset.

Game 8 - Vermont at Eastern Michigan

College basketball season tipping off at 11 am? Fantastic.
The long season got started Friday morning with Eastern Michigan using a 15-4 run early in the second half to pull away and win 70-50.
Willie Mangum (18 points) and Tim Bond (15) led five with at least nine points and the Eagles are going to need that kind of offensive production after it was announced 2014-2015 leading scorer Raven Lee was suspended for violating team rules.
I had thought the suspension came as the result of his parents naming him Raven, but no: team rules.
Anyway, nice start for the Eagles, who held Vermont to 30% shooting.
I think Bond, just a sophomore, could develop into a really good player. He's quick and athletic and if that jump shot keeps improving, EMU may not miss Lee as much.
STATS WE DON'T NEED
John Becker in season openers as Vermont's head coach: 1-3
Basketball Phrases
Good start to the college nonsense season for commentators Greg Steiner & Ryan Woody.
"Electricity in the building"
"Blistering the net"
"Puts up the flight show"
"Calm demeanor" (said twice)
"Scoop and score"
"Athletic big"
"Rain threes"
"Saddled with foul trouble"
