These teams are pretty evenly matched but Mount St. Mary's plays a similar style to VCU and Arkansas, and other teams that press all game and play at a fast pace with athleticism and 3 pointers.
Albany plays a slowdown style closer to North Dakota State/Wisconsin, a lot of ball movement on offense, but Albany does not take a lot of 3 pointers.
If Mount St. Mary's can force turnovers and make 3s like they did vs. Robert Morris they can put the pressure on Albany and force Albany to play a game of catchup.
I was really impressed by how Mount St. Mary's destroyed Robert Morris and controlled the game, Albany is a similar opponent to Robert Morris.
Albany will win the rebounding margin but the two key stats are turnovers and 3 pointers made. If Mount St. Mary's holds the edge in those stats(which I think they will) they win the game.
