Atlanta Braves Thread XI (Gary Sheffield edition)

[NochNoch]

Duke didn't play well today. If UT shows up and plays close to their potential, they should be able to take Mercer. Our odds of bearing the have to be significantly better than if we faced Duke.

Didn't see the whole game but their height down low seems like it could present problems similar to what we saw in the first half against Iowa. I felt like a potential matchup against Duke was good in that they didn't really have that type of size inside. I agree that the odds are probably better than against Duke but I wouldn't say I'd be extremely confident going into that game.

Y'all made me hungry for pizza the other night. Just made a batch of deep dish pizza dough for tonight. Hoping to be celebrating a big win.

Duke hit 15 there's and had 18 offensive rebounds AND LOST. That is almost impossible.

Now would be a really good time to troll the Lakers/Duke douche from the Basketball Forum.

The funny thing is that all the mouth breathers automatically now think the bracket just cleared for a Sweet 16 run. Nevermind what those exact same players from Mercer did at Thompson-Boling Arena last year.

That's fair, but let's not act like this isn't a seriously positive development for our tournament prospects.

Like I heard an analyst say yesterday, the NIT is about desire. That said, we could lose to anyone.

Feel like I need to poop. Or take up smoking. One of the two.

It's a positive anytime Duke gets knocked out of your bracket, but Mercer just isn't a very good matchup for us IMO.

 

[Scotty's Flat Top]

Welp. Shut it down, boys.

 

[GAVol]

Mercer homer alert.

I won't lie. I just spent the past two hours recognizing people in the crowd.

By "us," you do mean TN, right?

Smoke while you poop, problem solved.

Meanwhile Columbian Jesus spun a gem against a talented roster today.
