Emmitsburg, Md. (March 16, 2025)—The Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference (MAAC) Champion Mount St. Mary’s men’s basketball team was announced as a No. 16 seed in the upcoming NCAA Tournament, and will face another 16-seed, American, in a First Four matchup on Wednesday, March 19. Tip-off will be in the evening hours at the University of Dayton Arena in Dayton, Ohio.
Playing in the East Region, a win in the First Four would propel the Mount into a First Round matchup with top seeded Duke in Raleigh, North Carolina.
This is the Mount’s seventh appearance in the NCAA Tournament, joining teams from 1995, 1999, 2008, 2014, 2017 and 2021. However, this will be the Mount’s first trip representing the MAAC as the Mountaineers won the MAAC title in their third year in the league.
The Mountaineers have been a No. 16 seed in each of their seven trips to the Big Dance.
