When it comes time to take part in the playoffs in any sport, it is very often the team holding the hot hand that makes a deep run in the postseason. This is where you can often find potential bracket busters when March Madness rolls around, as it’s possible for a hot lower seeded team to ride the wave of momentum that carried them into the tournament in the first place. If you are looking for a hot team with a shot at causing an upset, look no further than the Vermont Catamounts. When they knocked off Albany to win the American East Conference at the end of the regular season, they recorded their 21st straight win, which was the best ending run to the season that anyone put together. Granted, a lot of these wins came against lesser opponents, but it’s tough not to have an off night in a run that long. The Catamounts will have their work cut out for them when they face the #4 ranked Purdue Boilermakers in the opening round of the Midwest Region. Find the updated college basketball spreads here.
