† 2016 NEC Tournament winner

Chris Wray leaps for a layup during the January 2 game against LIU Brooklyn at Knott Arena.

Newcomers to the team included incoming freshmen Bryce Thurston[1] and Elijah Long, the latter of whom committed to the Mountaineers after originally planning to play for Florida Gulf Coast.[2] Guard Marcell Haskett signed with the Mountaineers, but later re-opened his recruiting and enrolled in a prep school instead.[3]

Returning players included Byron "BK" Ashe and Gregory Graves, who were both members of the NEC's All-Conference Third Team the previous season.[4] Lamont "Junior" Robinson, now a sophomore, was named to the All-Conference Rookie Team in his freshman year.[4]

They finished the season 14–19, 10–8 in NEC play to finish in fifth place. They defeated St. Francis Brooklyn in the first round of the NEC Tournament to advance to the semifinals where they lost to Fairleigh Dickinson.

Previous season

The 2014–15 Mountaineers finished the regular season with a record of 15–14 (11–7 in the Northeast Conference) and qualified for the conference tournament as the #4 seed. They were knocked off by #5 seed Saint Francis (PA) at home in the first game of the tournament, finishing the season at 15–15.[5]

Pre-season

Byron "BK" Ashe, seen here completing a slam dunk during the January 2 game against LIU Brooklyn, was named to the NEC's All-Conference First Team prior to the season.

Greg Alexander, a shooting guard who played two seasons at East Carolina, transferred to Mount St. Mary's in June 2015. Due to NCAA transfer rules, Alexander will sit out the 2015–16 season and will join the Mountaineers in 2016–17 with two seasons of eligibility remaining.[10]

In June 2015, the website Big Apple Buckets, which covers college basketball in the Northeast, named guard Byron "BK" Ashe and forward Gregory Graves as prospective members of its NEC All-Conference First Team. Ashe was described as a "stud ... as evident from his fantastic 119.1 offensive rating in league play (in the 2014–15 season)," while Graves "edge(d) out a group of impressive power forwards thanks to his athleticism, tenacity and efficiency around the rim."[11]

In October, Northeast Conference head coaches voted the Mountaineers as the league's favorite prior to the season.[12] This marked the fifth time in the team's history it was voted preseason favorites, with the most recent being 2009–10.[13]

Ashe and Graves were voted to the official 2015–16 Preseason All-NEC Men's Basketball Team.[14]

Lamont "Junior" Robinson takes a contested shot during the January 2 game against LIU Brooklyn at Knott Arena.

The Mountaineers opened the regular season with an 80–56 loss against the #3-ranked team in the nation, Maryland.[17] Mount St. Mary's also lost its second game, 76–54 to Ohio State.[18]

Mount St. Mary's improved to 7–2 in-conference and completed a season sweep of Robert Morris on January 28 with a 70–49 victory.[40] In their next game, however, the Mountaineers fell behind by 22 points by halftime against Wagner and ultimately lost 73–63.[41] The Mount lost a second consecutive game on February 4, falling 77–74 to LIU Brooklyn.[42] The team's losing streak extended to three two days later, when Wagner blew out the Mountaineers, 72–51, to complete a season sweep.[43]
