† 2015 NEC Tournament winner |
The 2014–15 Mount St. Mary's Mountaineers men's basketball team represented Mount St. Mary's University during the 2014–15 NCAA Division I men's basketball season. The Mountaineers played their home games at Knott Arena, a 3,500-seat facility on the university's campus in Emmitsburg, Maryland. For the 26th season, the team was a member of the Northeast Conference.
The team was led by third-year head coach Jamion Christian, who prior to the season was given a contract extension to coach the team through the 2018–19 season.
Newcomers to the team included Chris Martin and Andrew Smeathers, transfers from Marshall and Butler, respectively. Martin joined the team at the beginning of the season; however, due to NCAA transfer rules, Smeathers was unable to join the team until the December 20 game against American, the first game after the end of the fall semester. Other incoming players included freshmen Troy Henderson, Chris Manning, Lamont "Junior" Robinson, Mawdo "Mo" Sallah and Chris Wray. At 5-foot-5, Robinson was the shortest player in Division I men's basketball for the 2014–15 season.
The Mountaineers finished the season 15–15, 11–7 in NEC play, to finish fourth in the conference. They lost in the quarterfinals of the 2015 NEC Tournament to St. Francis (PA).
The 2013–14 Mountaineers finished the regular season with a record of 13–16 (9–7 in the Northeast Conference) and qualified for the conference tournament as the #4 seed. They defeated St. Francis Brooklyn at home in the first game before winning road games against Wagner and Robert Morris to win the conference championship for the fourth time.
