Stats: https://mountathletics.com/sports/mens-basketball/stats
Thoughts: Leading scorer Dallas Hobbs has missed their last 3 games. They are coming off an overtime win at Miami which should give them confidence. Granted Miami is struggling this year at just 4-8 but a road win against an ACC team is not easy to achieve. If we take them seriously we should win by double digits.
