Pregame.com Exclusive Free Pick: (698) Mercer -12.5
Good comments from the Mercer side about nearly blowing last game after running out to a huge early lead. That tells me if they get out big again, they won't ease up this time. Some pretty defined data on the Bears. They've had trouble against teams that zone them, but Samford plays mostly man to man. Samford has been somewhat competitive, but I see the more talented team having learned a lesson last game and expect 40 minutes here. Unless they have a bad shooting day, sure looks like a game where Mercer can get the run out.
