New Orleans has not made an appearance in the NCAA Tournament since 1996, and this one comes on the heels of a 10-20 season just a year ago. Mt. St. Mary's is the most unlikely candidate to be here, and I'm not sure there has ever been a team in NCAA Tournament that started as poorly as they did. The Mountaineers opened the season a woeful 1-11, but that also may be the key to their success. The Mountaineers took on a lot of power conference schools early on, and I think it helped the overall growth of this team. They finished the season on a 18-4 run, and played in this game in 2014. I think that all the tough games this team has experienced, as well as some hold overs playing in this game before, sets them up nicely to move on. Play on Mt. St. Mary's on the moneyline.
