Mercer was 7-1 SU/ATS as a Fav in their L8 before losing the season finale. I like when a team was playing well and then had a horrible season finale (they allowed a season worse 60.3% shooting) as the coach was able not only able to rip them but also had time to work on what went wrong and their focus tonight will be on the defensive end. Mercer has two All-Conf backcourt players and all 5 players are mufti-year starters

Samford comes in having lost 5 straight and 9 of 10 with 3 freshman starters. Samford is also playing their first game since Feb 17th and should be rusty.
