Mercer at Florida Gulf Coast

Florida Gulf Coast became a household name last year as they managed to spring a pair of big upsets in the NCAA Tournament. This season they are 17-10, and have lost just once at home, but they will face their biggest challenge here against Mercer. Mercer is one of the deepest teams in the country, and there is not much of a drop-off as they get 10 minutes or more from 12 players. The Bears are 21-6 on the season. The Bears have the advantage not only in depth, but shooting, as they average 47.5% from the field at #24 amongst all Division-1 teams. They also knock down over 40% from deep, as well as converting 73.1% from the stripe. Depth and shooting is the difference here, so play on Mercer.
