March Madness is in full swing, and Saturday features another batch of good games in the women’s NCAA Tournament. One of the stronger matchups is NC State vs. Vermont, which should be a scrappy battle from the opening tip to the final whistle.
It’s a classic first-round matchup: a powerful NC State offense meets an elite Vermont defense. The Wolfpack ranked 29th in scoring this season (76.8 ppg), while the Catamounts enter the tournament with the third-best scoring defense in the nation (52.2).
NC State lost its last game to Duke, despite solid efforts by Aziaha James and Zoe Brooks. Vermont enters the tournament coming off a 62-55 victory over Albany, with Nikola Priede leading the Catamounts with 20 points, nine rebounds and two steals.
Oddsmakers favor NC State to win this game handily, but Vermont has the defensive chops to shock the world and pull off an upset. Here’s everything you need to know about the Wolfpack vs. Catamounts on Saturday afternoon, including broadcast information and live-streaming details.
