Everyone’s brackets are now officially destroyed. But this is why you have to love March Madness. #14 seed Mercer defeated #3 Duke 78-71 just a short time ago to pull off the biggest upset of the tournament so far. Mercer was a huge underdog, but with a bunch of seniors on the team who knew how to stick together, they outworked and outplayed the younger top recruits that Duke had. The last time Mercer even made the tournament was back in 1985 and not a single player on the team was born yet. Maybe Mercer stole a little magic from the Florida Gulf Coast team that made headlines last year in the tournament after being huge underdogs and beating a couple nationally ranked teams. Mercer had to beat that same team last week for the right to get in the NCAA tournament. They may very well lose the next game they play but nobody will ever be able to take away the feeling they have right now after that win.
