Down by two with under 10 seconds left, Mercer hits a layup and is fouled. Converts on the shot. Mercer up one with three seconds left. Time out.

...and Auburn hits a 3 with one second left and wins...

Saw that. Auburn pulled one out of their you know where.

Just brutal!

Second day in a row that a last second 3 saves an SEC team's bacon against a SoCon team - first was last night with Chattanooga vs Vandy.

This was harder though, since Mercer was ahead with barely enough time for Auburn to heave up a prayer.

Well a last second tip in saved ours, if a SoCon is going to pull out the win I am glad it was us.

SoCon shoulda won all 3! Congrats to ETSU in picking off an SEC squad.

Chatt already ran over UT last month. Seems SoCon is holding its own with regard to SEC, but I think the SEC is starting to struggle with having much more than UK as top level basketball schools lately. They haven't completely fallen, but so many other conferences have some really GOOD schools the last few years.
