Bears match up well ,but game is in Raleigh so they shouldn't expect a lot of help from the zebras. I still think it'll be a nail bitter.

As much as I'd love to see a Mercer upset, Duke by 20. The short 3-point shot is always an equalizer though.

In the blind bracket I filled out (gives info and ratings on the teams but not the team name) I actually had Mercer winning this game, so they must match up well.

Parker/Hood is probably the best 1-2 combo of players on a team in the country.

That said, I took Duke in my ESPN bracket but won't be shocked at an upset. I did pick NCCU over Iowa State as a 14 over 3 upset

I think it was the Wall-Street Journal that does it every year. There was a link on the MSB. as an example a matchup looked like this

Team A
Seed: 3-4
Competed in major conference and play a smothering zone defense. Streaky shooters that can go hot or cold

OFFENSE: ***
DEFENSE: ****
EXPERIENCE: **
3 POINT SHOOTING: *
HOT STREAK: *****
REBOUNDING: *****

Team B
seed: 10-12
Senior laden team that made a run in march last year. Soft schedule but play great fundamental basketball. Few weaknesses

OFFENSE: *****
DEFENSE: ***
EXPERIENCE: *****
3 POINT SHOOTING: ***
HOT STREAK: ****
REBOUNDING: **

No second chance baskets and Duke shooting 60% behind the arc, and down by 1.

Duke is looking real weak on the inside. NBA aside, missing the Plumlees is a real weakness.

Mercer is two blocks away from our house in Macon. I have never been a Mercer fan for obvious reasons. But since we live this close now its hard not to like them.

Plus them beating duke just makes it that much better, being a NC fan.

GO BEARS!!!
