Mercer at The Citadel

The Citadel Bulldogs, under coach Duggar Baucom, are a fun team to watch. They love to play a rat race-style game and average 66 shots while shooting well at 46.6%. They also launch a lot of 3's on average about half their total shots. They average 81 PPG but give up 86. Mercer allows 36% from deep so they should have a fairly strong conversion rate against them from deep. Mercer, in two of its past three as a favorite, showed it is not adverse to letting it fly, as the games have averaged 175.5 total points a game. This one should be played up and down for 40 minutes and should easily go over the posted total. My play is on the OVER.
