They have a "Ringer", hopefully McCasland can find a way to neutralize him.

It's no NIT and we do have to pay to host but I still think it's a cool experience to host a playoff game at our own gym. Hopefully the students will take notice and provide a bigger showing.

One thing I didn't know until I read Vito's article is we keep all revenue. I doubt we get anywhere near $40k coming in but if we sell a few tickets and concession, I'd think we be between $10-$20k. Get a few donors to chip in and you can make it work. After this round, if you host Vito's article said there isn't a fee. You send actual ticket revenue back to CBI.

RPI disagrees with y'all by quite a bit.

I realize that, but I would argue that Mercer's conference was much stronger than SD's.  I would assume Mercer's losses affected their RPI quite a bit.  I honestly don't know how all of that works.  Pure speculation.  Either way, Mercer will be a tough game.

Looking at Mercer's offensive profile, I think we're looking at a similar philosophy to Marshall - Moreyball.  They rate #23 nationally in lowest % of their shots coming from two point FG attempts not at the rim...

Marshall FG Attempts

  • At the Rim - 37.7%
  • Threes - 45.6%
  • Non-rim Twos - 16.7%

Mercer FG Attempts

  • At the Rim - 40.8%
  • Threes - 40.6%
  • Non-rim Twos - 18.6%

Compared to Marshall, they actually shoot better from three

  • Marshall 3pt % - 35.2%
  • Mercer 3pt % - 38

Perimeter defense will be a key to victory

Don't wanna look ahead, but has anyone else noticed that we could end up playing UNO at some point in this tournament?  Personally, I think it'd be kinda cool to renew our rivalry with them.  They were a school that always seemed to own us back in the day, but I am really glad they've made their way back up to competitive DI basketball after they decimated their program a few years back.
