Mercer at VMI

VMI likes to run, but Mercer is a defensive team ranked 237th in the nation in scoring. That defense just held NC Greensboro to 55 points in a win. Mercer is playing its fifth straight road game, too, so the last thing they want to do is run. Mercer is 2-0 in conference play. VMI's offense can be controlled, scoring 60 points two games ago in a loss to George Washington. They are home from a three-game road trip, and with both teams road weary of late, look for more defense than oddsmakers expect. Play this one UNDER the total.
