FINAL RECORD
16-15, 9-7, tied for fourth in the American East

WHAT WENT RIGHT
Sophomore forward Marqus Blakely led the conference in scoring at 19 per game and rebounding at 11 per game. He appears to be a budding superstar. Junior guard Mike Trimboli is a perfect complement to Blakely. Trimboli, who also returns next season, averaged 17.9 per game, third best in the conference.

WHAT WENT WRONG
The Catamounts got off to a rough start and after a disappointing loss at Yale in early December, Vermont found itself 2-6. The Catamounts put themselves back in position in the conference with a hot January, but a three-game slide, including a surprising upset at Stony Brook, was too much to overcome.

QUOTE TO NOTE
"When you play a really good team, turnovers hurt you. We had a five-point lead for a while in the second half but we just didn't make shots." -- Coach Mike Lonergan after the season-ending loss to UMBC.
