Mount St. Mary’s Mountaineers will meet with the #4 Villanova Wildcats in NCAAMB action in Finneran Pavilion, on Tuesday, November 9, 2021, at 4:30 PM (EDT). In the Northeast Conference preseason coaches’ survey, Mount St. Mary’s was projected to finish third.

Last year, the Mountaineers claimed the NEC tournament and qualified for the NCAA Tournament for the third time in eight years. Mount St. Mary’s restores four starters from a squad that finished 12-11 overall and 9-7 in the league the previous season.

Nana Opoku, Malik Jefferson, and Mezie Offurum will be crucial to the Mountaineers’ progress this season. Coach Dan Engelstad won a three-year contract extension after leading the school to its first NCAA Tournament participation since 2017.

In 2007, Engelstad started his coaching career at Mount St. Mary’s as a 22-year-old assistant. He delights in challenging non-conference opponents, and it doesn’t get much tougher than heading to Villanova.

Mount St Mary’s Mountaineers vs Villanova Wildcats Predictions 11/9/2021

Under coach Jay Wright, Villanova will enter the season with a strong roster and a genuine opportunity to capture its third national championship. The No. 4 Wildcats return four players from last season’s squad, who lost in the Sweet 16 to Baylor, the eventual national champion.

Jermaine Samuels and Collin Gillespie are returning for a fifth season owing to the COVID-19 epidemic, as authorized by the NCAA. They’ll be joined by Justin Moore and Caleb Daniels, who is also coming back as starters.

Gillespie, the Big East Preseason Player of the Year, injured his medial collateral ligament in his left knee shortly before the conference match, while Samuels underwent surgery to repair a fractured right little finger in the summer.

As a fifth-year senior, Gillespie was not highly recruited, but he developed into one of the most significant players in the league. Villanova earned national titles in 2016 and 2018 under Wright, and he wishes to make the most of his last season.

With such a good combination of experienced and young players, a third title is surely attainable. Wright was an assistant coach for Team USA during the Summer Olympics in Tokyo when they earned a gold medal. While Wright was coaching, his veterans were in charge of the campus exercises.

The total went UNDER in 6 of Villanova’s last 9 matches.
The University of Villanova is 9-0 SU in their last 9 home matches.
The Wildcats are 10-0 SU in their last 10 matches in the Northeast Conference.
