Mercer is off to a strong start with a ton of returning experience and talent, with four senior starters and a trio of experienced guards. Ninety-four percent of their scoring from last year is back, led by Ria'n Holland (20.2 points per contest, 56.8 percent from three-point range). Mercer is one of only two teams in the nation to start five seniors this season. They were the preseason favorite to win the Southern Conference men's championship and are playing like it. The Bears have played some tough competition as their losses against Power Five opponents Central Florida and Colorado both were by nine points. Mercer is on a 9-4 ATS run on the road and faces a Tennessee squad that is one of the youngest teams in the nation. Mercer leads the all-time series 4-3 and has more than enough to keep this one close. Play Mercer.
