Freshman Shawn Grant led UMBC with 17 points while Adrian Satchell recorded a double-double with 14 points and 12 rebounds in their first America East Conference Tournament.

UMBC fell behind Vermont fast. They fell behind 13-2 just four minutes into the game and UMBC was just trying too hard and forcing shots, passes, and were over pursuing on defense.

They were down 40-26 at the half and could not get back into the game in the second half. Chris De La Rosa was playing the game on a sprained ankle and scored 10 points and had six assists.
