DAYTON, Ohio — Dola Adebayo and Jedy Cordilla each scored 22 points as Mount St. Mary’s defeated American University, 83-72, in an NCAA Tournament matchup of No. 16 seeds at the First Four on Wednesday night.

Dola Adebayo and Jedy Cordilia led Mount St. Mary's to a first-round matchup versus Duke after beating American, who lost leading scorer Matt Rogers because of a knee injury.

When Duke coach Jon Scheyer was unofficially handed the keys to the program by Mike Krzyzewski following his retirement announcement in 2021, the now 37-year-old former Blue Devils player got to work.

Newsweek's sports betting writer makes his March Madness national championship pick, explaining why he likes Florida to beat Duke in the final in San Antonio.

Duke’s current efficiency is 38.15, the nation’s highest since the 2001 Blue Devils ended the season, with an NCAA championship, at 37.32. The only team with a higher KenPom efficiency at time of the year? Duke’s 1999 team that went 37-2 and finished with a 43.01 efficiency.
