Now Belmont has a much better chance at making the tournament, and even if they lose, it will give the media a great story for the next week.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22972768.post-37789049228640301712012-02-27T02:16:04.562-05:002012-02-27T02:16:04.562-05:00Well, I'd expect Belmont to be a 6-7 point fav...Well, I'd expect Belmont to be a 6-7 point favorite against Mercer. But Mercer has a much more difficult path to the title game than Belmont, so there's a pretty reasonable possibility that Belmont will get an even easier opponent.<br /><br />I'm not saying they'll win every game by 30 points. I would just say that Belmont is one of the biggest favorites in any of the conference tournaments.Jeffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12767101715737129123noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22972768.post-7624307410255986972012-02-27T02:06:19.227-05:002012-02-27T02:06:19.227-05:00You really think Belmont should have little troubl...You really think Belmont should have little trouble winning the A-Sun tournament? The tournament is being played on Mercer's home court, a place where Belmont trailed in the final minute last night before escaping with a 62-61 win.<br /><br />I want to see Belmont in the NCAA tournament and think they are capable of pulling a first-round upset with the right matchup, but if they have to play Mercer in the final I would definitely not call a true road game against the #2 seed they just played a 1-point game against "easy".Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
