Twitter Updates: @MercerMBB LAST TIME OUT/NEXT UP The third season of the Greg Gary era earned its third win of the 2021-2022 season over Milligan, 88-49, while placing three players in double figures on Saturday. Mercer would go on to shoot 58% as a team in the first half. Shannon Grant added to that number in a major way by going 9-for-10 on the day, which is a career high for the sophomore. The Bears want to continue their 2-0 winning streak against Coach Abdur-Rahim and their 9-0 streak against the Owls tomorrow. Mercer has won by an average of 15 points in those last nine wins and will look to continue to share the ball even more this time out as the Bears have assisted on 43 of 84 field goals (51.2 percent) during its past three games.
SERIES HISTORY The Bears and Owls are set at 18-6 in their series with Mercer on top. In their most recent meeting, the Bears won on 12/22/20 at the KSU Convocation Center, 81-71.
