Mount St. Mary’s comes into Rupp Arena after back-to-back BBN Showcase losses to Lamar and UAB. The Mount is 1-4 on the season with their only victory coming to Division III Gettysburg College. However, they were beating Georgetown (the Hoyas not the one in KY) by 12 at halftime and were tied with Washington at halftime. This is a team that struggles to score (60.2 points per game) and make it an ugly game and win in the 50s or 60s. They are led by reigning NEC Rookie of the Year Vado Moss who averaged just under 15 points a game last season and Junior Guard Jalen Gibbs who leads the Mountaineers with 15 points per game this season.
