One of two things usually happens to tell me it's basketball season: I either play something on Quinnipiac or Mercer. Whereas those two schools just go dormant in my dome for the other eight months or so of the year. And if Quinny ever plays Mercer (checking ... sadly not this season)? Obviously party at my house. As for defending ASUN champion Lipscomb, it allowed 105 points in its season opener in a blowout loss and has very little back from last season. Mercer just hung 101 on something called LaGrange. KenPom ranks the home side 18 spots higher.
