Western Carolina at Mercer

Western Carolina returned nine players this year, but the Catamounts still are looking to get over the hump and start winning games instead of coming close. Their past four losses have been by an average of five points, although the Catamounts did pull off wins and covers against Furman and East Tennessee State. Western Carolina kept it close again on Saturday, even though Chattanooga shot 53 percent and 16 of 31 from 3-point range before winning 90-82. Julien Soumaoro led four double-figure scorers with 17 points for the Catamounts. The total has gone UNDER in 11 of the past 13 meetings, and Mercer is 5-1 UNDER in its past six Wednesday games. Western Carolina is 6-1 ATS in the past seven meetings. Take Western Carolina and the UNDER.
