I think Mercer has a great shot at the outright upset tomorrow to tell you the truth and might play the ml when it comes out but for now i will grab the pts.

Same goes here NO WAY does Mercer have a chance.
The whole season Duke had been OVERRATED...they have a weak frontline....Their frontline includes Parker (6'8 235) & Jefferson (6'9 210)....that's WEAK!

Compare that to the front line of Tennessee....Stokes (6'8 260) & Maymon (6'8 260)

Lets look at the frontline of Mercer....Coursey (6'10 220) & Thomas (6'6 200)

Are you kidding me dude?? Tenn's frontline has got 100 lbs....Mercer will be in serious FOUL TROUBLE....Guaranteed!

Especially since their backup Center Monty Brown (6'11 250) won't be available.

Mercer was happy to be there, and had something to prove. About 5,000 fans were there, and Tenn. just didn't care. Tenn. is a MUCH better team then, then. Mayman also missed last year. Just giving you info, as I am a Tenn. fan, and know them well.  Good luck.

I'm not even a Tenn fan....but I'm with you 100%
Lets get this \

Tenn should handle Mercer....I don't know if they cover....don't really care as I'm just doing the ML in a parlay.

Also, I agree with ya Tenn didn't give a garbage about the NIT....they were PISSED they didn't make the tourney......PLUS, Maymon didn't even play in that game. Now they're gonna have 2 6'8 260 bodies in the paint.

In that NIT game....the offensive rebound count was 19 to 6....with Stokes having TWELVE of the 19 rebounds....that's ridic!

And now Tenn is playing for something....on a HOT STREAK!

Tenn wins this game no matter what.

That's very true.....take for example the Eastern Kentucky-Kansas game.....Eastern Kentucky used a 4 guard with 1 Center lineup.....because their guards can SHOOT! That's why they were able to hang around....but in the end Kansas pulled away because they were the more athletic, stronger team and got EKU in foul trouble.

I can't see Mercer shooting the ball and going lights out on Tenn....especially with Tenn being way more physical than Duke.

I love ya Camby and you are MONEY when it comes to college basketball...


BUT

Their is no way in HELL I'm betting against Tennessee. Mercer big men suck and Stokes is a monster for UT. I see Tennessee winning by 15+.

Just my opinion bro and will be riding with you on every other play.

Since there is so much talk about this game Im gonna think about this as a regular play as opposed to a pod. I will sleep on it. I will still play Mercer but maybe not as a POD.  Nice banter

Yeah, the only thing about last years NIT game is Tenn. wasn't up for the game because of the NCAA snub. One thing is for sure, Tenn. will not take them lightly, and will be up for this.

This is exactly what the hotels n vegas and the linemakers' vacations are bankrolled on. People like the squares in thread saying no way tennesse gets beat.. listen...tennessee had to win 2 games n the sec tourney just to get in the ncaa...and the play-in at that. Anything can happen and either
team could win by 20, I realize that....but...u r not successfully experienced at this if u say there's "no way" mercer wins because theyre smaller. Lets remember. Theres a reason tennessee couldn't get n the top 25 playing in the HORRIBLE SEC!!!!!!! They have serious flaws. Duke had flaws. And Mercer's 7 seniors surically hammered those flaws. I think thsyll do the same tomoro. Theres something to be said for knowing EXACTLY where the 2-guard will be on a high pick n roll with ur eyes closed....because you've played every day for 4 years. The tourney is about guard play and always will be. Doesnt mean bigs don't make a difference...but...if you've seen mercer play a lot as I have being from georgia u know EXACTLY how good their guards are and athletic Muamu is. And don't forget that bob hoffman ABSOLUTELY put on a clinic for "coach k." Who do u want? A guy that cliniced "Coach K" .....or...something called a cuonzo? Coach k said it right. "These guys r men."

One more thing. Ask youself this? If mercer wore..say...michigan st uniforms...and beat duke the other night would u be saying tennessee would win easy? That's exactly the thought process vegas banks on

Is anybody here taking this guy seriously?? LOL

So I guess we should just say that the Atlantic Sun Conference outshines the SEC now? hahahahahhahahaha

I guess these 2 little teams in the SEC named Florida and Kentucky are just CRAP now bahahaha

Like I said....Mercer had their upset win...that was lovely....against Tenn it won't happen.

Games are about MATCHUPS....and Mercer does NOT matchup well with Tenn......Tenn's guards are great too....you ever heard of a guy named Jordan McRae?

The difference here is the frontcourt.....Mercer's frontline will be in serious foul trouble and won't be able to stop Stokes or Maymon.

Check out these stats from last year's game, and look at TENN's OFFENSIVE REB count.....and keep in mind MAYMON didn't even play in that game.

It could get UGLY tomorrow folks....you heard it here first.
