Vermont vs Duke Prediction

Duke has covered only four times in its last 13 NCAA Tournament games as the Blue Devils will square off with America East champion Vermont.

Not that Vermont has any kind of home-court advantage in Brooklyn, but this is the first time since 2018 that the Blue Devils are playing their first-round contest in the Northeast.

Vermont's only NCAA Tournament win came in 2005 in an overtime upset of Syracuse as the Catamounts are in the Big Dance for the 3rd straight season.

One thing Vermont does very well is not turn the ball over as the Catamounts rank 11th in the nation in turnover percentage. The three teams ahead of them in that category that are also playing in the tournament are Northwestern, N.C. State, and Houston.

Vermont plays at one of the slowest paces in the country as it will try to limit Duke's outside game, which ranks 15th in 3-point shooting overall.

Duke will always be one of the big public teams in the tournament, but Vermont is not a rookie when it comes to the Big Dance.

Look for the Catamounts to hang around and grab the cover as double-digit underdogs.

Pick: Vermont +12 (-110)
