The Citadel likes to run, but Mercer prefers a slower pace -- and defense usually rules come tourney time. Mercer is sixth in the Southern in points scored, third in scoring defense. Mercer is 5-1-1 UNDER the total at neutral sites. The Citadel is away from home, where the offense clicks best. The Bulldogs shoot just 41.7% from the field, second to last in the conference, and is dead last in three-point shooting (32%). These teams met last month in a game that went UNDER the total and this tourney rematch will too. Play the UNDER.
