The final home game of the year. It will be an emotional pregame I would imagine. Jibri should be out there on the court for Senior Day activities. Also, will Jestin Lewis be included? Philip Leonard is also a senior to be honored.

15 of ETSU's first 17 points are from 3-point land. And they were 5/5! Live by the 3 and die by the 3 though... Just ask Duke  |

Coach Hoffman called for a technical right before the half to allow ETSU to tie the game at 37-37. I don't blame him for the frustration after a call on Lawrence Brown.
GeLawn Guyn is without a doubt the entire key to the Bucs success. It's easy to say "stop him", but if you can somehow limit him then I'd feel good about winning the game. Force other ETSU players to shoot and if they make it, then shake their hand.

Guyn has nearly half of ETSU's points (30!). It's coming down to the wire. We had to stop Guyn and we just can't do it today. If Mercer meets ETSU in the tourney, you gotta figure out a way to hassle him. Maybe drive on him to try and get him in foul trouble. Something! And as I noted above, it's easier to say it than actually do it.

Leonard and Strawberry drive late to the rim and no call on the contact. That looks to be the difference in the game.

Mercer loses 77-74. Referees swallow their whistle for Mercer down the stretch. ETSU also given 2 points before the half due to a technical foul. I'd say that was in the mind of the officials down the stretch. What a frustrating loss.
The way to beat ETSU is simple but hard to execute -- remove Guyn from the game. He scored 32 of their 77 points. With all of their graduating seniors it will be interesting who can score the ball for them next year.
