The Mount St. Mary’s Mountaineers are no stranger to The Kentucky Classic. Coach Dan Engelstad brought his group down for the previously named BBN Showcase in 2019 losing to the ‘Cats 82-62. Now, fresh off a trip to the NCAA Tournament, the Mountaineers are back in Lexington for tonight’s 7:00 p.m. tipoff at Rupp Arena.
Sitting at 1-2 with their lone win coming against a Division III opponent, the start of the season hasn’t been pretty for the Mountaineers. They began with a 91-51 beatdown at Villanova and most recently lost 80-60 at Saint Joseph’s in a game that was never close.
