Another not so close losses. Was close until the Polar Vortex hit Hawkins Arena with a surgical strike on the end where the Bears’ basket hung. Overall, one might think this is a dangerous, young, and currently underperforming Team that just may be using the Regular Season as an EXTENDED ‘Training Camp’ and very well could get HOT & make a run in the SoCon Tournament. If not...Well...there’s always next year. |

First SoCon game of the 20-21 season did not go as planned. My take: Wofford had too many players who contributed and Mercer didn't. Mercer played flat with no emotion at the end. But when the opposing team gets hot at the end like Wofford did, it is hard to get back in the game.

Re-post below of my take on the game that I posted on the FU Board as there are a few peeps over there trembling in their sabatons about woffy... Bottom-Line...Mercer needs Alvarez. Any additional info on his absence last night? Starting PG, Alvarez, was a last-minute scratch for Mercer - no info as to why.
Really the QB & the ‘spark’ for Mercer this year. By far Assist Leader & 2nd Leading scorer. Gets to the rack, gets fouled & shoots 86% FT’s. Frackin’ YardBarkers get lucky & face an opponent w/o their “MVP”
WITH Alvarez, Mercer is far better than they showed tonight & the MiniPups aren’t as good as an Alvarez-less Mercer made them look.
Oh...and probably 80% of the LittleDog’s O-Rebounds were big bounce-off’s of the rim on long missed 3’s. They didn’t really beat the Bears ‘on the glass.’ They beat them to, essentially, loose balls. Hard to think the lightning-quick Alvarez wouldn’t have made a difference & captured his share of those, as well...probably starting a man-up break in the process.
As Blue Oyster Cult said, “Don’t fear the Yappers.” They ain’t that good. |
