What To Know About Mount St. Mary’s
5’8 junior point guard Damian Chong Qui is one of the best stories in all of college basketball. He runs the show and has hit countless clutch 3s throughout the season. That said, this Mount team struggles mightily on the offensive end, ranking in the 18th percentile in terms of overall points per possession, per Synergy. The Mountaineers earn their living on the defensive end where they rank 12th in Effective FG% nationally. With decent size for an NEC team, Mount also has also play at the second-slowest adjusted pace in the country, trailing only Virginia. As a likely 16 seed, they have almost no chance of pulling off an upset against any of the projected No. 1 seeds.- Stuckey
What To Know About Texas Southern
Michael Weathers leads a group of experienced transfers for a TSU team that took out Prairie View A&M in the SWAC final. Whenever the Tigers have a chance, they want to get out in transition (which they do at a top-20 rate nationally). And that’s a good idea because their half-court offense is beyond hideous. They are one of the least-reliant 3P teams (and worst shooting) in the country and have turnover issues. Their most efficient means of scoring in the half-court is on the offensive glass. At the end of the day, it’s a 16-seed SWAC team. Not much to see here. -Stuckey
