They can also play defense, second in the conference at defending the three. They come into the tourney playing well, winning four of the last six games. Rashad Whack's three-pointer with 2.4 seconds left lifted Mount St. Mary's to a 72-71 come-from-behind win over St. Francis Brooklyn on Wednesday in the NEC Tournament Quarterfinals.
