No. 25 Saint Louis preps for A-10 tourney run vs. George Mason Saint Louis (27-3, 15-2 Atlantic 10) is set to close its regular season with a crucial matchup against George Mason in Fairfax, Virginia, as both teams prepare for the conference tournament. The Billikens, ranked No. 25 in the nation, have dominated their season series against Loyola Chicago, securing a 79-65 home victory to clinch the No. 1 seed in the upcoming A-10 tournament. The team’s undefeated home record of 19-0 underscores their dominance on their court, while their balanced scoring attack, led by Amari McCottry (10.4 points per game), Kellen Thames (9.9), and Ishan Sharma (9.2), has propelled them to a strong finish. Saint Louis’ bench has been a key factor in their success, averaging 34.1 points per game, with McCottry leading the way in their recent win over Loyola Chicago. The Billikens’ offensive efficiency is highlighted by their nation-leading 41.2% three-point shooting and a 60.9% effective field goal percentage. Their ability to score in transition, racking up 17.6 points per game, further solidifies their status as a versatile and dangerous team. Coach Josh Schertz emphasized the importance of their regular-season performance, calling it a “mark of a team’s greatness” and a stepping stone for a postseason run. George Mason, meanwhile, faces challenges as they aim to secure a spot in the tournament. The Patriots (22-8, 10-7 A-10) have struggled in their final games, going 1-5 in their last six contests. Despite a strong performance from Kory Mincy (18 points) and Riley Allenspach’s double-double (17 points, 10 rebounds) in a recent loss to VCU, the team’s inconsistency has left them locked into a fifth-place finish in the conference standings. With a middling conference record, a No. 82 ranking in Wins Above Bubble, and a No.#george_mason #atlantic_10 #saint_louis #kellen_thames #amari_mccottry

Their ability to convert 65.2% of free throw attempts (15 of 23) and secure 37 rebounds, including 12 offensive boards, highlights their balanced approach. Key contributors like Kanaan Carlyle, who scored 19 points in 36 minutes of play, will be critical in their effort to maintain momentum.

Big South Men’s Preview: Signs Point to High Point High Point men’s basketball Mon, March 2, 2026 at 3:51 PM UTC· High Point had struggled for more than two decades to reach the Big Dance before finally breaking through last year. As the Big South Men’s Tournament approaches in Johnson City, Tennessee, High Point appears poised to repeat as champions, having lost just four games all season and only one contest in conference play. That single loss came to second-place Winthrop, which kept the Eagles in contention for the title until the final weeks of the season. High Point (15-1, 27-4 overall) The Panthers entered the season with a new coach and a reshaped roster, yet they quickly established themselves as the league’s most dominant team. After losing their former head coach, Alan Huss, and eight of their top nine scorers, new coach Flynn Clayman orchestrated a turnaround by building a high-powered offense and defense through the transfer portal. Despite losing their leading scorer, Terry Anderson, who averaged under five points per game last season, High Point remains a powerhouse. The team leads the nation in turnover margin and has won 11 consecutive games since their loss to Winthrop in January. Winthrop (13-3, 21-10 overall) Winthrop remained competitive with High Point throughout the season, narrowing the gap until a late-season two-point road loss to High Point sealed their fate. The Eagles are bolstered by breakout star Logan Duncomb, a potential Player of the Year candidate who averaged 18.3 points and 9.0 rebounds per game after struggling in his first three seasons. Surrounding Duncomb are scoring guards like Kareem Rozier, who averages 13.3 points and 3.4 assists, and a team that shoots more free throws than any other in the league.#high_point #big_south #flynn_clayman #logan_duncomb #kareem_rozier

UNC Asheville’s Men’s Basketball Season Hangs in the Balance UNC Asheville’s men’s basketball team is entering the final stretch of the season with its sights set on the Big South Conference Tournament, a crucial opportunity to secure a spot in the NCAA Division I Men’s Basketball Tournament. The tournament, set to begin on Friday, March 6, in Johnson City, Tennessee, will determine which team advances to the NCAA Championship, known as March Madness. The Bulldogs, seeded fourth in the tournament, will face Longwood University in the quarterfinals on Friday, with the semifinals scheduled for Saturday. A victory in the Big South Championship would mark the team’s return to the NCAA Tournament, a goal that has become the focal point of their season. The tournament represents a pivotal moment for the Bulldogs, as their performance in the conference will decide their fate in the national spotlight. Dean Lafferty, one of the team’s managers, emphasized the stakes of the upcoming games. “You have to win your conference tournament to get into the NCAA Tournament,” Lafferty said. “The next weekend is literally the whole season on the line.” Lafferty, who has worked closely with the team throughout the season, described the campaign as a mix of challenges and triumphs. Despite a season marked by ups and downs, the Bulldogs’ fourth seed in a competitive conference is a testament to their resilience. “A lot of schools would kill to have what we have this year,” Lafferty noted, calling the season a success. The Bulldogs’ preparation for the tournament has included rigorous practices at The Justice Center, a venue known for its intense conditions. The facility’s proximity of walls and echoing acoustics create a challenging environment, making communication difficult during drills.#unc_asheville #big_south_conference_tournament #longwood_university #dean_lafferty #the_justice_center
