American vs. Mount St. Mary's Analysis
American somehow flew under the radar all season in the Patriot League despite sitting atop the standings for long stretches.
Conventional wisdom said Colgate, long the power of the conference, would return to form and take over. If not the Raiders, maybe Bucknell, in the first year of a new coaching regime, would return to its perch atop the league from earlier this century.
Meanwhile, American has the single most continuous roster from last season, loaded with seniors and super-seniors who have played together in the nation’s capital for years. That proved helpful, leading the Eagles to the Patriot League crown.
In Dayton, American gets a Mount St. Mary’s team with a fatal flaw — turnovers. The Mountaineers cough up the rock at the sixth-highest rate in the nation. Mount St. Mary’s posts 15 turnovers per game, topping 20 turnovers on four occasions.
American isn’t exactly designed to win by forcing turnovers, but the Eagles do so at the Patriot League’s highest rate. The Eagles won the turnover battle in 10 of their last 11 games and could set themselves up for a trip to the Round of 64 by doing so again in Dayton.
The Pick: American -1.5
