Twitter Updates: @MercerMBB LAST TIME OUT/NEXT UP The Bears are coming back from their travels to Cancun and their Mayan Division Championship Game against MTSU. In that contest, three players reached double-digits in scoring with Johnson (20), Haase (10), Glisson III (10). Felipe Haase and Neftali Alvarez combined for seven assists. Jalen Johnson matched his career high going 8-for-8 from the free throw line. That performance at the line is the highest single game percentage in the SoCon. Johnson also tallied two steals and three rebounds on the day. Mercer looks forward to playing tomorrow's game back at home in front of a supportive Hawkins' crowd.
