(NCAAB) Mercer vs. VMI, 02/09/2017 2:00 PM, Score: 81 - 51
Point Spread: -4.50 | -106.00 Mercer (Away)
Result: Win
Thursday, Mercer will aim to duplicate an earlier conference win against VMI, 68-50 at home. VMI has been competitive as of late on its home floor, losing by just a basket to Samford and holding a seven-point halftime lead over East Tennessee State. Traveling on the road for the first time in five games should not be a problem as they'll be fresh. Mercer shoots a lot of FT's so I expect that trend to continue here tonight and the Bears to win by a wide margin. Grab the Bears to sweep the series and cover.
