Lipscomb's game with Mercer last night was every bit of the ball game we thought it would be.
Mercer 84, Lipscomb 82. Lipscomb has 3 chances to tie or win in the final 6 seconds. Ard missed a 3. Pfaff missed two free throws (the second one on purpose). Josh Slater got the rebound, but his 3-ball was blocked by Player of the Game Calvin Henry.
Henry was one of 4 Mercer starters in double figures -- 13 points, 6 rebounds, 5 assists. Mercer also had 8 players play at least 14 minutes, showing off the depth we discussed yesterday.
Lipscomb also showed some nice depth, too. 9 players played at least 12 minutes, a welcome change of pace from Scott Sanderson's M.O. Jason Hopkins had a nice night, pulling down 8 rebounds in 24 minutes. He only scored 6 points, but he didn't miss a shot all night. Lakroy Daniels played well (as he usually does in games Lipscomb has a chance to win), and Eddie Ard was Eddie Ard.
In other action, Gardner-Webb beat Stetson by 5 (I was right again), Kennesaw got Belmont by 2, and Gulf Coast upset Campbell. Here's hoping the rest of the weekend is this much fun.
