The Mercer Bears finished 19-15 (8-10 Southern) last season and played two A-10 opponents along the way. They took down George Mason 69-60 but lost to Davidson 71-77. You may remember Mercer from it’s Cinderella upset over Duke back in 2014. La Salle will be locked and loaded with a ton of transfers for next season, and the Explorers are expected to be one of the better teams in the conference.
