Well it’s a good test in that UVM would be an Ivy tournament team in the Ivy, and if Brown has any hope of making it they’d have to win 1-2 of these while playing at home.
On paper not a great matchup. A lot of UVM’s strengths are Brown weaknesses, while most of Brown’s strengths are also UVM strengths. So says kenpom. But while they’re definitely the underdog, this is a team that when it breaks right can surprise a better team.
It’s notable to me that the team’s greatest quality is their ability to get back into games. Despite the record they usually manage to find themselves in the game at some point in the last 10 minutes. That usually only happens when, among other things, Kino is both playing with urgency and making shots.
One comment on Stony Brook, which was not a well-played game but did feature one of those remarkable comebacks, but it became clearer to me that on a team without a lot of active on-court leadership, it’s Ferrari that probably comes closest to directing traffic out there. Which reinforces for me that now that he’s healthier, he should be playing more.
