Two teams that won their conf tournaments with defense. The 4th-seeded Mountaineers allowed just 54 ppg in knocking two of the three teams ahead of them in the standings, Marist and Merrimack, while the Eagles had an easier run, surrendering 61 ppg in their Patriot run. Mt St Mary’s has held 8 of their L10 opponents to under 40% from the field and none of their three opponents in the tourney shot better than 35.9%. Add to the mix this Eagles team that is 349th in tempo and we have all the ingredients for another game that goes Under the total.
