Need to Knows
• University of Massachusetts women's basketball treks up Interstate 89 to Burlington, Vermont for a Friday night matchup with the Catamounts at Patrick Gymnasium. Game time on ESPN3 is set for 7 p.m. with Jamie Scavatto (PxP) and Bernie Cieplicki (color) behind the microphone.
• The Minutewomen are looking to bounce back from a Mon., Nov. 25 loss at St. John's by an 82-71 score, despite a valiant comeback effort that saw a 16-point fourth quarter deficit cut down to as little as four. Four Minutewomen finished in double-figure scoring and junior Bre Hampton-Bey came off the bench to contribute a season-high 16 points.
• The St. John's result ended a three-game winning streak for the Minutewomen, which came on triumphs over UMass Lowell (Nov. 14, 74-58), Hartford (Nov. 17, 74-48) and Brown (Nov. 21, 95-42).
• Vermont has taken the last two meetings of these sides, last at the Mullins Center (Dec. 9, 2009) and once in Burlington (Nov. 14, 2008). A UMass win Friday night would be the first over the Catamounts since Nov. 9, 2007.
• This is head coach Tory Verdi's second matchup at UVM, as Verdi was on Nebraska's staff as an assistant when the Huskers defeated the eventual America East champions, 94-50, on Jan. 4, 2010 at Patrick Gymnasium. That year, Nebraska went on to finish 32-2 and reach the Sweet 16.
• UMass' 25 assists vs. Brown (on 30 made baskets) were three short of tying a Division I program record, set in December 2004 vs. Toledo. Nine different players had a dime, with Hampton-Bey checking in at a team-high seven on the night.
• Senior Hailey Leidel (1,437 points) now holds sole possession of eighth place on the UMass all-time scoring list and needs 29 points to tie Pam Rosanio (2004-08) for seventh with 1,466. She is also one of 17 players in program history with at least 1,000 points plus 500 rebounds.
• Leidel, a three-year captain, has made at least one three-point field goal in 11 straight games since Feb. 24, and 28 of her last 29 games dating back to Dec. 7, 2018.
