Jelks is in full beast mode so far this season. Was at the Auburn game and he just pushed guys around. 15 or so boards at Auburn. Then he went 20 and 15 against Arkansas, I think? That's legit.

Correct. He's playing much bigger than his 6'6" self. He's in the mold of a Charles Barkley. I'm hoping he can keep up this play. |

I guess this will be the Ohio State game thread. This will be a good test. Honestly, I don't think the Bears have a good chance against the Buckeyes. Game is on ESPNU. I will be watching.

I think that Mercer could beat Ohio State on any given day, and I think it's the perfect time for Ohio State to overlook the Bears. I'll be tuned in on ESPN U as well. A couple hours to game time!

These refs are all Ohio State grads, apparently.

These must be NBA refs. Continuation basket just called for the Buckeyes.

We couldn't be playing worse. As usual, we give up the run to start the 2nd half. Same thing killed us against Auburn.

Down 44-30 right now. Mercer lead the game 20-13. That's a 31-10 spurt by Ohio State..
Early foul trouble was the big problem. Some questionable calls, and then when Mercer fouled it was weak. We allowed them easy baskets on touch fouls.
This team was down by a similar margin to Davidson at this point in the game, there's still time for a run!

Not gonna happen. Falling behind by about 20 with 4 minutes to go. The final 25-30 minutes of this game were horrendous. The good news is that this is the first time that Mercer has been blown out this year. I'm sure they can regroup and come back strong from this one. Plenty of film from this one.
