Mount St. Mary's vs American First Four Betting Preview
Mount St. Mary’s enters Wednesday’s playoff game fresh off an insane MAAC title run.
The six-seed Mountaineers were down starter Carmelo Pacheco and key rotation piece Terrell Ard Jr. and yet still knocked off three of the best four teams in the league in quick succession. Mount rides a 10-3 run since Jan. 25 into its first tourney bid since 2021.
American brought back the most minutes in the country this season, and that proved invaluable to its impressive Patriot League performance. The Eagles handled league power Colgate en route to their first NCAA Tournament appearance since 2014.
