2015 NEC Tournament winner

The 2014–15 Mount St. Mary's Mountaineers men's basketball team represented Mount St. Mary's University during the 2014–15 NCAA Division I men's basketball season. The Mountaineers, led by third-year head coach Jamion Christian, played their home games at Knott Arena and were members of the Northeast Conference.

Newcomers to the team included Chris Martin and Andrew Smeathers, transfers from Marshall and Butler, respectively.[1] Martin joined the team at the beginning of the season; however, due to NCAA transfer rules, Smeathers was unable to join the team until the December 20 game against American, the first game after the end of the fall semester.[2]

Other incoming players included freshmen Troy Henderson, Chris Manning, Lamont "Junior" Robinson, Mawdo "Mo" Sallah and Chris Wray.[3] At 5-foot-5, Robinson was the shortest player in Division I men's basketball for the 2014–15 season.[4]

Prior to the season, Christian was given a contract extension to coach the team through the 2018–19 season.[5]

The Mountaineers finished the season 15–15, 11–7 in NEC play to finish in fourth place. They lost in the quarterfinals of the NEC Tournament to Saint Francis (PA).

Previous season

The 2013–14 Mountaineers finished the regular season with a record of 13–16 (9–7 in the Northeast Conference) and qualified for the conference tournament as the #4 seed. They defeated St. Francis Brooklyn at home in the first game before winning road games against Wagner and Robert Morris to win the conference championship for the fourth time.[6]

With a record of 16–16, the Mountaineers were seeded in the 2014 NCAA Men's Division I Basketball Tournament as a co-16 seed in the South Region and played Albany in a First Four game. The Mountaineers were defeated by the Great Danes, 71–64, and finished the season with a 16–17 record.[7]

Last update: 02/14/2015

Pre-season

Despite having advanced to the NCAA Tournament in the 2013–14 season as winners of the 2014 NEC Tournament, the Mountaineers were ranked fifth of the 10 teams in the conference in its preseason poll.[11] This was due in part to the team having lost its three leading scorers from the previous season (Julian Norfleet, Rashad Whack and Sam Prescott) to graduation.[11]

The website Big Apple Buckets, which covers college basketball in the Northeast, named Chris Martin to its Preseason NEC All-Conference Third Team, saying that he "may struggle during the Mount’s insanely difficult non-conference schedule, but by the time NEC play rolls around, we expect the Marshall transfer to lead his team in scoring and be a pest defensively. His ability to score a variety of ways will help temper the loss of the graduating Big Three."[12]

On November 1, the team played a scrimmage against Division III Randolph–Macon College.[13]

Regular Season

November

Mount St. Mary's began the season on November 14 with a lopsided loss on the road against the #2-ranked team in the nation, Arizona.[14] After losing their home opener against Maryland Eastern Shore,[15] the Mountaineers got their first win of the season on the road against Bucknell.[16] The Mountaineers traveled to ACC opponent Wake Forest on the day before Thanksgiving, and suffered a 34-point loss to fall to 1–3 on the season.[17]

December

After beginning December with a 23-point loss to Seton Hall,[18] the Mountaineers defeated Loyola in the 170th meeting of a rivalry dubbed the Catholic Clash.[19] Mount St. Mary's then faced their second ranked opponent of the season, #25 Notre Dame, and fell to 2–5 with a 93–67 loss.[20]

The Mountaineers got their first home win of the season on December 13 with a 67–64 overtime victory over Norfolk State.[21] After a 1-point loss at American,[22] the Mountaineers nearly lost a home game to one of the worst teams in Division I, Binghamton, before escaping with a 69–68 win.[23]

On December 29, the Mountaineers were defeated 69–35 by Conference USA's Old Dominion to finish non-conference play with a record of 4–7.[24]

January

The Mountaineers started conference play with two consecutive losses: a 70–45 loss to Robert Morris[25] and a double-overtime loss to Wagner.[26] The team soundly defeated Central Connecticut, 82–51, on January 8 for its first conference win of the season.[27] Another home victory, over conference-leading St. Francis Brooklyn, followed two days later.[28]

The Mountaineers' winning streak continued with a 20-point road victory over Fairleigh Dickinson[29] and a 61–54 defeat of LIU Brooklyn in the Barclays Center, during which the Mountaineers overcame a 21-point first-half deficit.[30] The winning streak was halted by a 63–59 overtime loss to Robert Morris, who completed a season sweep of the Mountaineers with the victory.[31]

After beating Saint Francis (PA) on January 24,[32] the Mountaineers were defeated in overtime in their rematch with St. Francis Brooklyn.[33] They then defeated Sacred Heart on January 31 to finish the month with a 6–4 conference record, 10–11 overall.[34]

February

The Mountaineers fell to 6–5 in conference play February 5 when their late comeback fell short and they lost to Bryant, 55–53.[35] For the third consecutive time, however, the team followed a loss with a victory, defeating Central Connecticut for the second time on the season, 63–46.[36]

In their return home after a four-game road trip, the Mountaineers were defeated by Sacred Heart, 62–55, on February 12.[37] Two days later, led by a career-high 24 points from Byron Ashe, the team got a victory at home over Bryant, 75–68.[38] On February 19, the Mountaineers got 54 points off their bench and improved to the .500 mark (13–13) for the first time on the season with an 82–65 win over LIU Brooklyn.[39] On February 21, Mount St. Mary's pulled into a three-way tie for second place in the conference at 10–6 after defeating Fairleigh Dickinson, 75–64.[40]

On February 26, despite a loss on the road to Saint Francis (PA), the Mountaineers clinched a home game in the first round of the conference tournament.[41] On February 28, Mount St. Mary's beat Wagner, 74–64, to finish the regular season with a record of 15–14 (11–7 in conference play).[42]

Conference Tournament

Mount St. Mary's qualified for the NEC tournament as the No. 4 seed.[43] Big Apple Buckets ran 10,000 simulations of the conference tournament prior to its start, giving the Mountaineers a 27% chance of reaching the championship game and an 11% chance of winning the title.[44]

In the quarterfinals at Knott Arena on March 4, the Mountaineers lost 73–58 to Saint Francis (PA), the No. 5 seed, and were eliminated from the tournament.[45] It marked only the third time Mount St. Mary's lost an NEC Tournament game at home, and the first time since 2006. In addition, it was the first time the Mountaineers lost to Saint Francis (PA) at the Knott Arena since 2004.[45]

Speaking after the game, Christian said "I think a little bit of our inexperience did hit us."[45]

Postseason

Three teams from the NEC were given bids to postseason tournaments; however, Mount St. Mary's was not one. Robert Morris went to the NCAA Tournament as winners of the conference tournament;[46] St. Francis Brooklyn went to the NIT as regular-season NEC champions;[47] and Saint Francis (PA) was awarded a bid to the CIT.[48]

On March 31, it was reported that Martin would transfer again, leaving Mount St. Mary's after only one season with the program.[49]

Awards

On March 3, the Northeast Conference officially named Byron Ashe and Gregory Graves to its All-Conference Third Team, saying Ashe's "emergence as a legitimate scoring and outside shooting threat gave Mount St. Mary's the spark it needed this season as the team looked to fill the void left by the graduation of three 1,000-point scorers" and Graves was "(a) much-improved offensive contributor this season (who) handles much of the dirty work inside for the Mount and its "Mayhem" approach."[50] Junior Robinson, who "has already has proven to be a big time player for the Mount after assuming the starting point guard spot from game one," was named to the All-Conference Rookie Team.[50]

Big Apple Buckets also named Ashe and Graves to its NEC All-Conference Third Team, saying Ashe "emerged as a better player and the Mount’s go-to-scorer, posting double-digit point totals in nine of his last 10 games," while Graves displayed "dominance on the boards, as he impressively grabbed 9.6% and 21.2% of the offensive and defensive rebounds."[51] The site also named Robinson to its NEC All-Conference Rookie Team, saying he "utilized his elite speed and quickness to post double-digits in scoring for half of his conference games."[51]

Media

Mountaineers home games and select road games were broadcast on WTHU 1450 AM in Thurmont, Maryland. Play-by-play was by Adam Pohl, with color commentary by Roy Sigler.[52]

Live streaming video of all conference games and out-of-conference home games was available at www.necfrontrow.com.[53]
