If you were living under a rock, you might have missed the biggest upset of the tournament so far, Mercer upsetting Duke 78-71. If you couldn’t be a part of the twitter world during the insanity, here is how things went down from when Mercer scored an ‘and 1’ to go up 4 and eventually 5.
#Mercer And-1!

Can’t believe Hall snuck that pass through
— Ed Isaacson (@EdKMGSports) March 21, 2014
Uh oh. What a pass by Langston Hall. And Hood fouls out. This ain’t good for Duke.

Duke's coverage in ball screen situations has been atrocious this half. They are picking on Hood in a big way on defensive end
— Brian Snow (@BSnowScout) March 21, 2014
Duke's about to get bounced. This is March!

Oh my, Mercer. You gorgeous Cinderella, you.

I knew Mercer could play with Duke. I thought they'd have to make 3s, though. They have CARVED UP Duke's interior D

Someone from Mercer needs to pound the floor and roar.

That was a critical lapse by the Uke Blue Evils.

This is something. A very big something!

Just like we all said: Totally unfair to Wichita State to be in the same region as Michigan, Louisville, Kentucky and Mercer.

Jabari Parker and Rodney Hood: 6 of 24 from the field, 20 points, seven turnovers.

Don't think Coach Cutcliffe woulda let it happen this way, Coach K.

Might be best to say "Look at that range" if and when the shot goes in.

I guess Duke really is Syracuse's new Georgetown.

FINAL: No. 14 Mercer 78, No. 3 Duke 71. Adios, Duke.

Don’t confuse Mercer with FGCU. Last two years, Mercer has beaten Ole Miss, Seton Hall, Florida State, Alabama, Tennessee and now Duke.

Worth noting that Mercer barely escaped the A-Sun semis vs. USC-Upstate. Little-used bench guy named T.J. Hallice w two big hoops in that.
