Why Dartmouth LT?? Dart beat Umass "Lowel" (who is horrible) and Maine (yuck).. But lost to JVState by 12 or more I think last game.. Back on the road tonight in Georgia, arg... Mercer being over hyped bec of putting up 90 on VMI last game??? I see that (except from that game) Mercer has really not done well offensively. They were scoring in the 40's to 50's a few games back. I just didn't know if you knew of some players or the styles of play for these two teams that makes "Dartmouth" a good play tonight.. Any input is appreciated if you have time, thanks..

Dartmouth could shoot threes (51st at 38.3%), Mercer cannot defend threes (279th at 36.8%). Also VMI plays at the fastest tempo in the country, those 90 points by Mercer came in a 77-possession game. Bears typically average 63 possessions, virtually same as Dartmouth (62.9), so three point edge for Big Green becomes more important with slower pace.
I just think is too many points for what figures to be a slow paced game. Vanderbilt is only 329th in tempo rating and they don't really apply much pressure ranking 281st in defensive turnover percentage and 302nd in steal percentage, so they probably will not force WCU to speed up. Plus Vandy has a tougher game up next at Georgia Tech Saturday.

Do you think to that slow pace, will allow WCU an opportunity to take the victory? Because its not like they cant shoot.

Wouldn't be totally shocking but I wouldn't chance it either.
