RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) — Daniel Coursey scored 17 points and
Mercer pulled off the biggest upset in the NCAA tournament so far by
knocking off Duke 78-71.
Jakob Gollon added 20 points for the 14th-seeded Bears (27-8).
The Atlantic Sun champions — the same league that produced 2013 tournament darling Florida Gulf Coast —
shot 56 percent.
The Bears were simply too much for a Duke team with stars Jabari Parker and Rodney Hood.
Mercer
scored 11 straight points during the late 20-5 run that clinched the
biggest victory in school history. It’s the second one-and-done in three
years for the third-seeded Blue Devils.
