Rhode Islanders Joey Accaoui (2-of-9, 4 points) and Ben Crenca (2 points) both hit the scoreboard for Vermont...The second half blowout allowed Davis to give Johnnie Lacy extended minutes for the first time this season. The freshman guard still hasn't found a way to get his offensive game going but he did have three assists and played tight defense in 18 minutes...Vincent Council now has 16 assists and four turnovers on the season....Word is tickets are selling well for this Saturday's New England showdown with Boston College at the Dunkin' Donuts Center...The Big East was a collective 52-4 entering games last night and enjoyed another win over a ranked team when Cincinnati knocked off Maryland.
Last night's game was the fourth of 10 in a row to start the season away from home for the Catamounts. In fact, the team left Burlington on Saturday for a game at Rutgers on Sunday but won't return home until this Sunday after spending the coming weekend in Philadelphia for the Legends Classic.
"We're pretty good at home so it's hard to get anybody to come to our place," said Vermont coach Mike Lonergan. "It's been a problem for us for awhile."
Vermont will play 14 of the first 17 games on the road. Its only non-league games at home come against Quinnipiac and Delaware.
