Mount St. Mary's March Breakdown

Congratulations to the Mountaineers for making the dance but at 16-16 there is not too much expected. Still, if your draft counts points scored in Dayton--and the Mountaineers are definitely playing there against another 16th seed--then you must scout this team. The main reason to look at this squad is that they have a gunner, guard Rashad Whack (17.7 ppg, 19.4 ppg last 7, 42%FG-37%3pters-80%FT) who enters the tourney red hot. Whack, who beat St. Francis of NY in the first round of the Northeast tournament with a last second 3, scored 28-21-20 in the three games of the Northeast championship. He managed only 10 pts against Villanova earlier this season and that same number against Michigan State so if the Mount does win in round two he may not add too much to your first round total. Still points are points. The other intriguing player is guard Julian Norfleet (17.5, 16.3, 46-36-75) who may not be as hot as Whack can still fill it up. The only other player to consider is guard Sam Prescott (11, 13.7, 42-32-79) but only late.
