American college basketball season From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The 2002–03 Vermont Catamounts men's basketball team represented the University of Vermont during the 2002–03 NCAA Division I men's basketball season. The Catamounts, led by head coach Tom Brennan – coaching in his 17th season, played their home games at Patrick Gym and were members of the America East Conference. They finished the season 21–12, 11–5 in America East play to finish second in the conference regular season standings. They followed that success by winning the America East tournament to earn an automatic bid to the NCAA tournament. Playing as the No. 16 seed in the West region, the Catamounts were defeated by No. 1 seed Arizona in the opening round.[1]
