Delaware State vs Mount St. Mary’s Prediction

I’ll probably lean toward Mount St. Mary’s. The Mountaineers didn’t match up very well with a pretty good Georgetown team on Wednesday, shooting just 31.3 percent from the field with a 43-36 rebounding deficit and 13 turnovers. Mount St. Mary’s has 66 or more points in all three of their wins (93 or more in two of those) and a combined 103 points in their two defeats.

As for Delaware State, they made just one of seven 3-pointers (14.3 percent) and were out-rebounded 48-24 by Providence in their latest loss. That makes 62 or fewer points in three of five games (all losses) for the Hornets so far. If Mount St. Mary’s can shoot fairly well here they should be good for a decent enough performance.
