A 29 point loss at home is embarrassing.

Tough loss. Can’t spot a good team 17 points.

It certainly looks like SoCon is far superior to the CAA this year. Maybe the SoCon will get the multiple bids that the CAA normally gets.

Is this the final year for Coach Gary? Fansided has Gary listed as the 258th (out of 363 D1 coaches) best coach in the country.
258. Greg Gary (Mercer) (Last year: 261)
Overall record: 67-87
Year four at Mercer begins for Gary, with some decent results to this point with the Bears. A former point guard at Tulane, he coached at a number of schools, including stints at his alma mater and Miami under former coach Perry Clark. He had two unmemorable seasons leading Centenary when it was still D-1 and spent a long stretch on Matt Painter’s Purdue bench. He’s 51-43 as head coach at Mercer, winning 16 games this past season. Winning in the SoCon isn’t easy, as the Bears have been basically a middle-of-the-pack team these last three years.

I know there are three games before the UTC game, but that UTC game is starting to look like the SoCon Championship game.

#16 Mercer Bears travel to Boiling Springs, North Carolina to play surprising Gardner-Webb. Sure G-W has lost both real games, but they played a solid Coastal Carolina close (lost by 4) and lost to Elon by 6. Elon killed Wofford and was competitive against Vandy.
So, at the beginning of the season, I had this game as an easy win. I still think it is a win, but the Bears will have to work for it.

#20 Mercer will welcome The Citadel to Macon this weekend. While not ranked, the Bulldogs stunned ETSU with a last-second field goal to win in Charleston.
Mercer should and must win this game.

Was Morehead State bad or were we good? Regardless, I'll take the win.

This is Mercer’s fourth trip to the Big Dance and its second straight appearance. The Bears have never made it past the first round and having to play UConn is not going to be easy.
But was it easy for Saint Perter's to play Kentucky in the men's tourney?

Are the Bears the best team in Georgia? They beat KSU, GSU and GSU. I don't think UG or GT are exceptional this year. Sagarin has GT at 106 and UG at 141. MU is at 155. GT beat Georgia Southern by 2, whereas the Bears beat them by 11.

This Bears should have been included. After such a close game that could have gone either way, to be left out leaves a bad taste in my mouth.
