Odds via FanDuel as of March 4
Vermont (25-5, 17-1) enters the tourney with nine more wins than the next-closest team in the America East.
The price tag of -700, in fact, is the most expensive of any favorite in all the conference tourneys.
The lone blemish on the program's record in conference play this season was an overtime loss to Hartford as 10.5-point chalk.
The Catamounts also led the America East with a 16-13 record against the spread during the regular season.
Maine (6-23, 3-15) didn't qualify and Stony Brook was banned due to realignment, therefore NJIT earned a bid.
