VESTAL, N.Y. - Visiting Vermont used an early 22-6 run to take control and the Catamounts (5-3, 5-3 America East) shot 52 percent and dealt Binghamton (1-10, 1-7 AE) an 84-44 loss Sunday afternoon at Dr. Bai Lee Court at the Events Center.Â
Vermont hit 11-of-27 3-pointers, built a 43-22 halftime bulge and finished off a weekend sweep.Â
"It was certainly a long day for us all the way around," head coach
Tommy Dempsey said. "We couldn't find any rhythm and couldn't get the ball to go in the basket. It zips your energy when you can't score and they just got out in front and we were chasing them all day. Vermont is such a veteran group ... they have won a lot of games together and they are a well-oiled machine."
Binghamton was held 21 points under its season scoring average and didn't get a player in double figures for the first time in 2020-21.Â
Sophomores
Tyler Bertram and
Bryce Beamer had eight points apiece. Beamer added a team-high seven rebounds. Junior center
Yarden Willis recorded his first points of the season with 6-for-6 free throw shooting in the second half.Â
Binghamton hosts UMass Lowell in a two-game set next weekend.    Â
