The best two defensive teams in the America East have drawn a sizable total. Both offenses can score but play patiently, with UMBC 286th in shots per game among Division 1 members and Vermont near the bottom at 345th. They allowed 63 and 64 points, respectively, in conference contests. The Catamounts' two tourney outings have resulted in 132 and 117 points, and the finalists' regular season series had games of 119 and 137. It would be a surprise if the rubber match wound up in the 130s.
