    America East Conference Breakdown

    UMBC and Vermont have combined to win each of the last three America East Tournament championships. The Catamounts won in both 2017 and 2019 while the Retrievers got over the hump in 2018. There was no 2020 winner as the college basketball world was shut down prior to America East basketball crowing a tournament champion. Vermont and UMBC both finished 10-4 in regular-season league play and split their two head-to-head matchups. Both teams will receive a double-bye into the semifinals putting them in position to make another title run.

    While they won’t have a double-bye all the way to the semis, New Hampshire does receive a single bye as the 3-seed. The Wildcats finished third in conference play despite ranking just fifth in scoring (67.4 points per game). The preseason America East basketball poll correctly predicted the top three finishers, albeit flipping UMBC and Vermont in the top two spots. The poll was fairly accurate overall. The top overachiever was four-seed Hartford who was projected to finish sixth. The greatest underachiever was Stony Brook, who finished seventh after being picked to finish fifth.

    Where the America East basketball tournament gets interesting stems from the decisions of a team who won’t even participate. The conference added a new member this season in the NJIT, bringing the total number of America East teams to ten. But with the decision of Maine to cancel their season, only nine teams will play in the tournament. The result is the obscure format that we will see play out over the coming weeks.

    Henry’s passion for sports dates all the way back to childhood and has ultimately led to a full-fledged career as an analyst and content creator. After getting his start penning fantasy football articles, he forrayed into the betting side of the business in early 2019. His love for sports and statistics proved to be an ideal match with the dedicated research and strategy that handicapping requires. Henry currently specializes in betting analysis and picks for college football, college basketball and NASCAR. He counts the NFL, the WNBA, and NBA player props as additional leagues/markets of interest. Henry graduated from SUNY Buffalo in 2021 with a Communication Studies degree and a Psychology minor. A native of the Finger Lakes region in Upstate New York, he and his pup, Harold, have since relocated to Laramie, Wyoming. Thanks to his professional goals within the sports betting industry, there has been a whole lot of steam on the odds for a move to Las Vegas in 2023! Most of Henry’s free time is spent on outdoor adventures, playing chess, snowboarding, or reading a good book. He is also a competitive powerlifter and aspires to qualify for the USAPL Nationals meet within the next 2-3 years.
