Mount St. Mary’s Mountaineers defeated Saint Francis on March 7th to Northeast Conference Men’s Basketball Tournament and return to the NCAA tourney after two years’ absence. As was the case in each of the Mount’s previous four trips to the NCAA Division I Men’s Basketball Tournament, the Mountaineers are a No. 16 seed, as are the Privateers. UNO beat Texas A&M–Corpus Christi on March 10th to win the Southland Conference Men’s Basketball Tournament and make their first appearance in the NCAA tourney since 1996. The ‘Teers are averaging 73.1 points, 35.9 rebounds, 15.8 assists, 7.8 steals and 3.1 blocks per game, which is part of what makes them favorites on Tuesday. However, it could be argued that the winner of this matchup will in fact be the loser, since a win in the First Round would propel either school into a Second Round game with No. 1 overall seed Villanova on Thursday, March 16th.
