Mount St Mary’s v New Orleans
DAYTON, OH - MARCH 14: Miles Wilson #10 of the Mount St. Mary’s Mountaineers drives to the basket against Makur Puou #22 of the New Orleans Privateers during their First Four game in the 2017 NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament at UD Arena on March 14, 2017 in Dayton, Ohio.

This could be a tough blow for a Miami team trying to rebuild its backcourt: Miles Wilson, who transferred in from Mt. St. Mary’s, was dismissed by Jim Larannaga for “not meeting team expectations.”

Miami loses Ja’Quan Newton, Lonnie Walker and Bruce Brown. Chris Lykes, the dynamic little guard from DC is back and Dejan Vasiljevic is too. Both guys showed real promise last year and should improve significantly.

Miami also has transfers Anthony Mack and Zach Johnson from Wyoming and Army respectively.

Wyoming has had some entertaining teams over the years but like Army, it’s not exactly where you look for significant talent.
