"This is a hard place to win, not a lot of people win here," Head Men's Basketball Coaching Chair Mike Martin said. "Our guys were super confident out there, super resilient. A team like Vermont as good as they are you know they're going to make a run. But our guys believed and they played tough, played together."

The Catamounts matched the Bears' run as they poured in a 12-3 run to cut the Brown lead to 49-47 with 8:13 remaining in the second half.

Leading 53-50 with 3:15 remaining in the second half, Kino Lilly Jr. connected on a jump shot giving Brown a 55-50 lead, the Bears would hold on to earn their fourth consecutive win.

For the final 8:13 of the game, Brown held Vermont to just six total points.
