2011-12 SEASON PREVIEW

Mercer University’s men’s basketball team is head-ing into the 2011-12 season already armed with the knowledge that it will rely on a very young roster . While MU knows that fact going in this season, it was a fact which the Bears (15-18, 11-9 A-Sun) had sprung on them the latter portion of the year in 2010-11 after a couple key injuries .

MU head coach Bob Hoffman (4th season/48-50) will have but one senior – Justin Cecil – dotting his lineup, along with a total of four juniors . Of those four juniors, two are transfers and newcomers to the Bears’ system . The balance of the roster is composed of nine sophomores and four freshmen to give the team its youngest look in many years .

But don’t feel too sorry for Mercer, or write off the youthful Bears’ squad . After two of the team’ top scorers and rebounders (seniors Jeff Smith and Brandon Moore) were lost in the late portion of the 2010-11 season, there was a maturation which seemed to embrace what was then a green group of predominantly-freshman players . That translated into valuable court time for Hoffman’s young charges .

The freshmen, and returning reserves, stepped up down the stretch as Mercer won 10 of its final 14 con-tests to reach the Atlantic Sun Conference tourna-ment for the 27th-consecutive time (advancing to the semis before falling to eventual champ Belmont) .

In 2011-12, Mercer will not only need to replace Moore and Smith, but top defensive player Mark Hall and first team All-A-Sun player Brian Mills’ averages of 16 .2 p .p .g . and 6 .0 r .p .g . In all, the Bears lost more than 67 percent of their scoring and 60 percent of the team’s rebound totals from last season .

“There is no doubt that we have some big holes to fill,” said MU head coach Bob Hoffman (48-50 at Mercer), entering his fourth year at the Bears’ helm . “In reality you never really ‘replace’ anyone, because each player is an individual and you need to build upon each individual’s strengths as a player to create a team . Last year, people wondered how you can re-place James Florence and Daniel Emerson…and then Brian Mills – and others – stepped up to have career years and fill the void . We can celebrate great players,

but at the center of our success is the ‘team-first’ con-cept and that’s what we emphasize .

“Now it’s time for this year’s team to forge its own identity; to step up and accept the challenges . Being so young overall, our team has the opportunity to build and carry this legacy on for several years with the core group intact . They just need to keep their eyes on what is before them .”

Cecil, as a junior transfer, averaged 5 .4 points and 2 .5 rebounds per game last season .

Sophomore point guard Langston Hall had a stellar initial season and was named to the A-Sun’s All-Freshman team, starting all 33 games . Hall averaged 8 .2 points, 3 .1 rebounds and 3 .55 assists per game . He ranked sixth in the A-Sun in assists (the highest-ranked freshman) and was second in the league for assist-to-turnover ratio (a plus 1 .72) .

“Langston is a very special athlete,” said Hoffman . “For a young player, he has that tremendous confidence and leader-ship skills necessary to run the point . He loves nothing more than to make his teammates better . But, as good as he is now, I believe he’s is going to continue to grow and mature as

2011-12 SEASON PREVIEWa player- both physically and in terms of collegiate basket-ball knowledge .”

Forward Bud Thomas (Highlands Ranch, Colo .) emerged as a legitimate scoring threat by season’s end in 2010-11, while the trio of “bigs” – Monty Brown, Paul Larsen and Daniel Coursey – are expected to give the Bears a strong inside presence heading into 2011-12 . Thomas finished his frosh season starting 15 games and appearing in all 33 contests . At 4 .2 points and 2 .6 rebounds per game, his averages really picked up steam in the latter portion of the season .

Perhaps the most noticeable aspect of the MU team is the improvement of its triad of big men: Monty Brown (6-11, 240), Daniel Coursey (6-11, 210) and Paul Larsen (6-6, 220) . All three showed the positive results of some obvious off-season work – with Brown turning the proverbial “fresh-man 15” into some serious “sophomore solid” as he added muscle mass while losing weight and Coursey putting on 10 pounds of muscle to his weight, along with an already-solid Larsen displaying increased quickness and mobility - which will allow them to be interchangeable in Hoffman’s plans and a headache to opponents .

Sophomore Jakob Gollon (Stevens Point, Wis .) – after receiving a redshirt season and a medical hardship his first two years with the Bears after foot injuries – not only got through 2010-11 unscathed, but emerged as a team leader . Gollon’s work ethic helped guide his younger teammates as they grew into the collegiate game, while his own game blossomed, as well . Gollon had what were deciding baskets in wins over Navy, Florida Gulf Coast and Lipscomb .

“Jakob is a real blessing to have as a player,” said Hoffman . “He is unselfish and leads by example by how he as over-come adversity . In many ways, he’s sort of like having a coach on the floor . He takes it upon himself to make others better, even if that means it may take away some of his play-ing time . That’s the ultimate ‘team’ attitude .”

Junior Chris Smith came on strong last season and is ex-pected to see an even more expanded role this season . Smith appeared in all 33 games off of Hoffman’s bench as a sophomore .

2011-12 SEASON PREVIEWSophomore guard Kevin Canevari also returns to the MU backcourt, after appearing in 18 games as a freshman . Junior forward Marquisse Jackson and sophomore guard R .J . Miskimon round out the returning roster players from 2010-11 .

Among the new faces to the 2011-12 roster are junior transfers Travis Smith (Johns Island, S .C ./Gulf Coast C .C .) and Shaquille Harris (Americus, Ga ./Enterprise, Ala ., C .C .) . True freshmen Kymon Woods (Gainesville, Ga ./East Hall H .S .) and T .J . Hallice (Weddington, N .C ./Fishburne Military Academy) are also newcomers . Redshirt fresh-men Jibri Bryan and Darious Moten will be see-ing the first action of their MU careers, as well .

Mercer will take on a very ambitious schedule in 2011-12 . The Bears will face three NCAA tourna-ment teams from last year – Missouri, Georgia and Belmont – and a total of five first-time opponents . MU will see three-consecutive new faces when it hosts the Progressive College Basketball Experience (CBE) Classic sub-regional tournament in Macon on November 21-23 with Sam Houston State, Niagara and South Dakota State, respectively . The other newcomers to the Bears will be Seton Hall and Tulsa .

The Bears will play what may, arguably, be one of the most difficult stretches of road games in the country to close out the month of Decem-ber . The five-game swing begins with the Seton Hall match-up on Sunday, Dec . 18, followed by a Tuesday (Dec . 20) date versus UGA in Athens and a Thursday (Dec . 22) game at Georgia Tech (played at The Arena at Gwinnett) . After a few days respite, MU will resume its “road warriors” routine by traveling to Tulsa on Dec . 28 before catching a flight to Annapolis, Md . After a return game at Navy on Dec . 30, Mercer will fly home on New Year’s Eve .

“I may find time to grab breakfast in there sometime,” joked Hoffman of the frenetic 13-day span . “In all seriousness, while it is a challenging block of games, it will also allow us to experience several different styles of basketball in a small window of time…much like you may in a post-season tournament setting . We have to be able to adapt to things like travel and then facing a quality opponent; it’s a part of a good team .”

Senior forward Justin Cecil

The Bears will once again play two early A-Sun games the first weekend of December (at Lipscomb and Belmont in Nashville, Tenn .) . MU picks up conference play, uninterrupt-ed, on January 2 at home versus Florida Gulf Coast .

For the third time in as many years, Mercer will once again be the host site for the 2012 Atlantic Sun Conference bas-ketball championships on Feb . 29-March 3 at the University Center . (MU will also host the tournament again in 2013) .

2012 TIP-OFF BANQUET......FEATURING CLARK KELLOGG

Mercer University basketball welcomed CBS TV analyst Clark Kellogg as its keynote speaker for its 3rd annual Tip-Off Ban-quet . The event - which draws several hundred support-ers - serves as the unofficial beginning to the basketball season for the MU community . Kellogg was another in a string of noted college basketball experts who have graced the podium at the University Cen-ter as the keynote speaker for the Banquet . Prior to Kellogg, the Bears’ family was addressed by ESPN analyst Jay Bilas (lower left) in 2010 and perhaps the most recognized face among college hoops media mem-bers, Dick Vitale (lower right) in 2009 .

4TH SEASON MERCER RECORD: 48-50 (.490) OVERALL MEN’S RECORD: 360-204 (.638)OVERALL COLLEGIATE RECORD: 448-220 (.671)

Upon his arrival at the helm of the Mercer University basketball program in 2008, Bob Hoffman made an im-mediate mark and has done so each season since . The new era in Mercer basketball officially began on March 27, 2008 when then athletics director Bobby Pope intro-duced Hoffman as the Bears’ new head men’s basketball coach .

A native of Oklahoma City, Okla ., Hoffman has been successful at all levels and boasts a proven track record from high school through the professional ranks . His overall record as a head coach at the collegiate level is 448-220 .

During his first three campaigns at the helm of the Bears, Hoffman has produced steadily-rising levels of success, as well as an exciting, fan-friendly brand of basketball . His A-Sun record of 34-22 is the best league totals for any three-year span since 2002-05 and is the first time in program history that Bears’ teams have pro-duced three successive double-digit win totals in A-Sun play . It is also the first time since 1981 that MU teams have been .500 or better for three-consecutive seasons in the tough A-Sun slate of games .

The 2010-11 Bears reached the Atlantic Sun Conference tournament for a third-consecutive year under Hoffman and produced much excitement along the way . The team went 15-18 overall - 11-9 in the A-Sun - and was the No . 5 seed in the conference’s post-season tourna-ment, despite losing two seniors (and scoring leaders) mid-season . MU advanced to the semifinals before be-ing knocked out by eventual champion Belmont in what was arguably the best game of the entire tournament . Senior Brian Mills was named first team All-A-Sun, while point guard Langston Hall was named to the All-Fresh-man squad .

Hoffman’s 2009-10 team produced many memorable Mercer moments, including advancing all the way to the title game of the Atlantic Sun Conference champion-ships . MU garnered two All-A-Sun and two All-Region

honors, while also having one of its own - senior Daniel Emerson - honored as the state of Georgia men’s col-lege basketball “Player of the Year” by the Atlanta Tipoff Club’s Naismith Awards banquet . Additionally, senior James Florence became the Bears’ all-time leading scorer midway through the season . The team finished 16-17 overall and was 10-10 in the A-Sun .

He guided the 2008-09 Bears to a 17-15 overall record and 11-9 in Atlantic Sun Conference (A-Sun) play . It was the Bears’ most wins since the 2002-03 season and their first winning mark in conference play since 2004-05 .

Hoffman came to the Bears after serving as head coach of the Rio Grande Valley Vipers, a NBA Developmental League franchise, and guided the American Basketball Association’s Arkansas Aeros to a 25-2 record in 2006-07 . The Aeros led the league in scoring, averaging 133 points per game in Hoffman’s up-tempo style of basket-ball .

“Bob Hoffman was the first person we interviewed for our coaching position and he remained on the radar throughout the process,” Pope said . “In the end, we felt he was the right fit . We feel that his experience and suc-cess at all levels, including high school, NAIA, NCAA D-I and professional basketball, made him the ideal choice to lead our program to prominence .”

Prior to coaching the Aeros, Hoffman served for two years as an assistant coach at the University of Okla-homa, where the Sooners recruited a class ranked in the top five nationally . Hoffman helped guide the Sooners to the first Big 12 championship in school history en route to a two-year record of 45-17 and back-to-back NCAA appearances in 2004-05 and 2005-06 .

He brings a wealth of additional experience to the posi-tion, having served as head coach at the University of Texas Pan American from 1999-2004, compiling a 69-76 record at the NCAA Division I school . The highlight of Hoffman’s stint with the Broncs was a 21-9 record during the 2001-02 season .

Hoffman guided UTPA to 12 wins in his first season, which was more than the previous three seasons com-bined, and posted the school’s best record since the 1993-94 campaign . In 2001-2002, Texas Pan-Am had its first winning season since 1993-94, earned their first tournament victory since 1989-90, and recorded the most home wins in eight seasons . The Broncs were rated

for the first time ever in the CollegeInsider.com Mid-Major poll and Hoffman earned National Independent Coach of the Year honors by CollegeInsider.com .

“I am very excited about the potential at Mercer,” Hoff-man said . “I was overwhelmed by the prospects we saw when we visited the campus . I could tell that the Mer-cer administration is committed to developing a highly successful men’s basketball program .”

Challenges are nothing new to him as he turned pro-grams around at Southern Nazarene an d Oklahoma Baptist .

Hoffman was named National Coach of the Year by Basketball Times and also earned Sooner Athletic Conference and Dis-trict 9 Coach of the Year honors for his efforts . He went on to a record of 243-78 and a winning percentage of .757 in nine seasons at OBU, earning six trips to the NAIA Tournament and making two trips to the champi-onship contest .

He coached 10 All-Americans and 21 All-Conference selections during his tenure with the Bison . Hoffman was named Sooner Athletic Conference Coach of the Year four times . During his nine years at OBU, Hoffman’s teams averaged more than 90 points per game and led the NAIA in field goal percentage seven times . His commitment to academics is just as strong, boasting a player graduation rate of 82 percent .

A standout guard and forward and a 1979 graduate of Oklahoma Baptist, Hoffman is one of just 30 players to score at least 1,000 points in his OBU career .

Hoffman has been married for 31 years to the former Kelli Lumry . The couple has a 15-year-old son, Grant .

2010-11 IN REVIEW

Rocky Balboa would have loved the 2010-11 Mercer Uni-versity men’s basketball team . The Bears took it on the chin and yet still achieved despite the odds .

“I was really proud of the way the team responded to the challenges they faced,” said MU Head Coach Bob Hoff-man . “Their hallmark was the way they came together as a group . The team was the ‘poster child’ for what you can accomplish when you work together as a unit on the floor and not as five individuals .”

The biggest blows to the Mercer squad came mid-season and just 11 days apart when the Bears lost two of its senior cornerstone players- Jeff Smith and Brandon Moore . The duo, at the time, were MU’s top two scorers and both ranked among the teams rebound leaders, as well .

Smith went down with a knee injury in the waning seconds of Mercer’s overtime win over Jacksonville at home . Moore was lost four games later at East Tennessee State, also suffering a knee injury . At time of Moore’s injury, MU had begun to turn around a 4-13 start to the season, winning three-of-four games prior to ETSU .

But Mercer’s team not only overcame the adversity, it seemed to downright embrace it .

Buoyed by the play of senior Brian Mills – who would earn first team All-A-Sun accolades – the Bears won six of their final eight regular season games to qualify as the No . 5 seed in the A-Sun tournament . MU would advance all the way to the semifinals, losing to eventual champion – and top seed – Belmont in what most regarded as the best battle of the tournament .

Perhaps even more important was that Hoffman’s team continued to get it done in the classroom . A total of 10 members of the Bears’ squad were cited on the A-Sun’s “Al-Academic Team” for 2010-11 .

The emergence of Mercer’s freshman class was also a pleas-ant by-product for Hoffman . Pressed into service by the injuries, the group garnered valuable court time and game experience . The newcomers not only filled the minutes, but delivered with quality .

Point guard Langston Hall was tabbed on the A-Sun All-Freshman Team, starting all 33 games and ranking among the league leaders in assists . Forward Bud Thomas played in all 33 games, as well, and made 15 starts . Likewise, 6-11 center Monty Brown started the final 10 games of the sea-son, to name a few .

“It was very exciting and satisfying to see our young play-ers kind of grow up right before our eyes on the court,” Hoffman said . “They were baptized by fire because of our injury situation . But they did not shy away from the chal-lenges . They may have made some youthful mistakes, but they were eager to learn and were open to instruction to improve .

“It’s that type of attitude that makes me believe the group has many good things ahead .”

Against all odds, 2010-11 Bears came through in a big way

68

Even losing two of its top scorers - Brandon Moore (left) and Jeff Smith (right) - mid-season (less than two weeks apart) could not keep the young Bears’ team

from a 27th-straight post-season conference tournament berth in 2010-11.

Nov. 14, 2010El Paso, Texas (Legends Classic regional)Don Haskins Center

Mercer University’s men’s basketball team used a second half blitz to roll over Oglethorpe University, 67-44, in the team’s 2010-11 season opener . The Bears had to overcome a feisty Stormy Petrels team, which led by three points at the half . Mercer led by as much as seven points in the first half and Oglethorpe held a five point advantage, before settling on the three-point cushion heading into the locker room, 26-23 .

Junior transfer Justin Cecil had game high scoring honors in his debut as a Bear, booking 14 points on a 6-for-10 night shooting from the field . He was 2-of-4 from beyond the arc and also pulled down five rebounds .

The Mercer defense was out in full force, limiting the Stormy Petrels to a 29 percent night shooting (17-for-58) from the field . Nowhere was the Bears’ stranglehold more evident than from beyond the three-point line, where Oglethorpe hit just 6-of-30 tries (20 percent) .

Mercer University battled the University of Texas-El Paso gamely for the first half before eventually falling, 87-74 .

The Bears trailed by 12 at the intermission, 45-33, but could have been closer were it not for an abundance of fouls charged to the team in the opening period (17 in all) . UTEP was 17-of-21 from the charity stripe in the first half alone .

The two teams proved that the best things in life are truly “free”, as UTEP hit 32-of-44 free throws for the game, while Mercer was 22-for-33, for 77 free throw attempts . In all, there were 57 fouls called between the two teams, with the Bears whistled for 31 .

The visiting Bears never succumbed to UTEP’s home court advantage – which reached 25 points with a 10:56 minutes left - and eventually whittled away at the lead and got back to within 12 with 3:15 left to play thanks to a pair of Brandon Moore free throws . However, MU could get no closer before suffering its first loss of the young season .

Mercer University’s bid for its first-ever win over Harvard Uni-versity came up a little short, 75-69, before a Homecoming crowd of 2,934 at the University Center . For the third time in as many games this season, the MU team found itself behind at the half, trailing Harvard, 37-27 . Mercer had double-digit turnovers at the intermission (11) and hit just one-of-five from three point range, while also going to the free throw line nine fewer times than did Harvard .

The Bears made a second half comeback bid at the outset of the final stanza . MU out-scored the Crimson 13-2 to open the period and take a 40-39 lead on a Jeff Smith free throw at the 15:47 juncture . It was the first time the Bears had led in the game since the 12:36 mark of the first period .

But the advantage was short-lived and Harvard re-took the lead on a lay-up by Keith Wright to make it 43-42 with 14:39 to play . The Crimson would not trail again the rest of the way .

Florida State University used its physical advantage inside to defeat Mercer University, 79-55, in a non-conference game played at the Tucker Center . The Seminoles remained unbeat-en at 5-0 .

FSU had 34 points in the paint and out-rebounded MU by a 48-37 margin . The ‘Noles shot nearly 55 percent (28-of-51) from the field and blocked 13 of Mercer’s shot attempts .

Florida State led wire-to-wire, holding a 39-22 halftime lead .

A feisty Bears’ defense did force FSU into 22 turnovers . Con-versely, MU had its lowest turnover total of the season with just 11 miscues .

The MU unit also kept the Seminoles Chris Singleton far below his season average of 19 .5 points per game by permitting him just 10 points on the night .

GAME

6Wm. & Mary 57, MU 52


Mercer University snapped its three-game losing streak in a big way with a 71-66 win over Western Carolina University in the opening game of the 2010 Legends Classic .

Mercer led at halftime of a game for the first time in five games this season, holding a 29-28 advantage over the Cata-mounts at the intermission . There were four ties and seven lead changes in the opening 20 minutes .

Mercer extended its advantage to six points midway through the second half, but WCU would not fold and came back to catch the Bears at 50-50 on a tip-in by Richie Gordon (10 points) . But MU would not be overtaken and a three-pointer by Mark Hall (10 points) gave the Bears a 53-50 lead it would never relinquish .

Freshman point guard Langston Hall had ice in his veins as he made four of his six free throws in the game down the stretch and with the outcome on the line .

Mercer dropped a heartbreaker to host William and Mary in its second game of the Legends Classic .

The Tribe led at the intermission, 24-17 . MU hit just 6-of-21 shots from the field in the first half and had no offensive rebounds . In the opening period, the Tribe had 12 points in the paint . Con-versely, the Bears managed just four points inside . William and Mary’s bench also out-scored Mercer, 9-0, in the first 20 minutes .

While the second half was still more befitting the Tribe’s style, Mercer began to chip away . A 15-2 run by the Tribe nullified the Bears’ comeback and put William and Mary up by nine, 44-35, with 4:03 left to play .

Despite holding a two-possession lead for most of the waning minutes, the Tribe still had to endure late charges by Mercer . The most promising came with 32 seconds left . Senior Mark Hall canned a three-pointer from the right side to cut W&M’s lead to a precarious 52-49 .

Mercer University finished its run in the three-games-in-three-days Legends Classic with a 78-65 loss to Gardner-Webb Univer-sity .

Mercer found itself trailing at the intermission for the sixth time in seven games this season .

MU battled gamely in the second half to regain the upper hand, after leading by as many as seven points in the first half of play . A three pointer by freshman point guard Langston Hall drew the Bears to within a single point at 38-37 with 18:08 left .

But the G-WU withstood the charge and built a double digit lead midway through the period . The Runnin’ Bulldogs led by as much as 17 in handing Mercer its second loss in a row .

Mercer University started the Atlantic Sun Conference portion of the season on the wrong foot, dropping an 89-67 decision at Belmont University . Belmont led wire-to-wire, but Mercer man-aged to keep within single digits until the waning moments of the opening period .

MU shot 61 percent from the floor in the opening stanza and out-rebounded the Bruins by a 13-10 margin . However, BU had 18 of its 44 first half points directly off Mercer miscues (and 29 points for the game) .

Mercer senior forward Brandon Moore tallied 10 of his career-high 22 points in the opening period . For the night, Moore hit 8-of-11 from the field on the night, giving him his sixth game in eight outings in double-digit scoring . Moore also pulled down 10 rebounds to give him his second double-double of the sea-son .

Dec. 10, 2010Macon, Ga.University Center

Mercer battled Lipscomb University close for the majority of the Atlantic Sun Conference bout, before eventually falling, 77-65, in a game that was closer than the final score would indicate .

From the outset it was obvious that the Bears were unde-terred by the fact that they were facing the A-Sun’s pre-sea-son favorite .

Freshman Bud Thomas (nine points) – getting his first career start – got the scoring started with the first basket of the game, a three point shot . Thomas also drained a trey at the 11:30 mark to put MU back on top (16-13), a position it held until Lipscomb tied the game just before the intermission .

Senior Brian Mills and freshman Langston Hall shared high point accolades for Mercer with 15 points each .

Jake Gollon’s layup with 11 .1 seconds remaining gave Mercer University the lead it would not relinquish in a 73-68 win over Navy at the University Center before a crowd of 2,182 . The win also snapped a four-game losing streak for MU heading into a 12-day break for finals .

In the second stanza, Navy took the lead at the 15:52 mark and did not trail until Gollon’s basket off a pretty pass from Jeff Smith made it 70-68 and dashed Navy’s hopes . The Middie’s O .J . Avwaro missed a layup with four tics remaining, forcing Navy to foul . Smith made one free throw, and Gollon two, in the waning seconds .

Gollon scored eight points and had six rebounds, starting in place of the Bears’ injured Brandon Moore .

Smith led the Bears with 22 points on a 7-of-11 night shoot-ing from the field and a 7-for-10 effort from the free throw line . Smith also had five rebounds four assists and two steals in a fine all-around game .

12Georgia 56, MU 53


Charlotte 64, MU 63


Mercer University built a double-digit second half lead versus the University of Georgia, but could not keep its SEC foe at bay in a 56-53 loss before a standing-room-only crowd of 3,274 fans . It was the third-largest crowd to ever see a game at Mer-cer’s University Center .

UGA came out swinging from the opening bell and built an 11-2 lead within the first three minutes . MU would keep the pressure on Georgia and eventually built a seven-point halftime cushion, 31-24 .

Mercer freshman Langston Hall connected on one of two free throws to knot matters at 49-49, and that was followed by an-other Mills bucket to put MU ahead, 51-49, with 3:56 left . The two teams exchanged baskets and Georgia held a 54-53 lead with 52 seconds left in the game . The Bears had two pos-sessions in the waning seconds, but both ended in turnovers, and UGA hit its free throws down the stretch for the final 56-53 score .

Mercer came out on the short end of a see-saw contest, falling to Charlotte, 64-63, at the University Center . The game had a total of 10 ties and 11 lead changes as MU endured its second last-second loss in a row .

The close loss was an obvious disappointment, especially after holding a 60-59 lead with 3:07 left . Sophomore reserve Chris Smith had three rebounds, two steals and five points - not the least of which was a three-pointer with 9:06 left to play - to put his team up by three at the time (51-48) in just 12 minutes of play .

Trailing by a point, Mercer was forced to foul and Charlotte obliged by missing the front end of a one-plus-one to give the Bears one last chance at the win . A stifling 49er defense forced MU to use a timeout with four seconds left and, after the inbound pass, Brian Mills attempted a three-pointer at the buzzer that fell short, along with Mercer’s hopes for the win .

Jan. 3, 2011Macon, Ga.University Center

Mercer couldn’t maintain its halftime lead, falling at Georgia Tech, 87-78, in its final non-conference contest of the season . The Bears are now 3-10 overall, while the Yellow Jackets improved to 7-5 on the year . The Bears raced out to a six point halftime advantage, 47-41, thanks to the combination of torrid shooting on offense and a stellar defense .

MU hit nearly 56 percent from the floor (19-of-34) in the opening stanza, while holding the Yellow Jackets top two scorers – Iman Shumpert and Brian Oliver – scoreless in the period . Mercer’s first half onslaught was aided by the return of its three-point shooting touch . After a lackluster 4-for-20 effort less than 24 hours earlier in the loss to Georgia, MU hit 6-of-9 from long range in the first half versus Tech .

Jeff Smith had 13 points in the opening period alone . The senior guard would finish the day with a team-high 23 points, hitting 7-of-17 from the field overall .

As good as the first half was for Mercer, the second would open with nightmarish qualities . Georgia Tech eroded the Bears six-point lead and, with 4:02 left in the game, had not only overtaken the visitors but built their largest cushion of the day at 12 points, 77-65, on a layup by Shumpert (15 points, all in the second half) .

Mercer University’s men’s basketball team suffered its third gut-wrenching loss in the last two weeks, this time falling to East Tennessee State University, 62-61, in an Atlantic Sun Conference game at the University Center .

The Bears reserves out-scored the Buccaneer bench by a 12-3 margin in the opening stanza, after the Mercer starters were held to 15 points as a group . The Bears never trailed in the first half, building as much as a 10-point lead on a Brian Mills layup with 11:12 in the first half (it would be Mills’ only field goal of the half) .

After ETSU’s Micah Williams (16 points) canned a trey to cut the deficit to 61-60 for the Bucs, MU’s Brandon Moore was called for a charge with 11 seconds remaining on a game clock (which was just four seconds ahead of the shot clock) to turn the ball over . ETSU’s Adam Sollazzo drove the right side and got a layup with 3 .7 seconds on the clock and the Buccaneers led, 62-61 .

Mercer tried to inbound the ball and it was slapped out by ETSU . Now, with just 2 .9 seconds left, the ball was inbounded to Hall . Hall took one dribble and launched a shot from just inside mid-court . The ball hit the front of the rim, caromed upwards, came back down on the heal of the iron and bounced up one more time before glancing off the left side of the rim on its way down and falling aside with the Bears’ hopes for the win .

15MU 70, USC Upstate 59


Mercer’s Brian Mills had a career night in many ways as he led his team to a 70-59 Atlantic Sun Conference win over USC Upstate at the University Center .

Mills led all scorers with 30 points, a personal single-game best for the fourth-year senior, to give him his eighth-consecutive game in double-figure scoring . He also pulled down 12 rebounds for his fourth double-double of the season .

Mills hit two other career milestones, as well, during the course of the game . His 12th point of the night – which occurred on a layup with 1:39 left in the first half – was his 800th career point (on a night he would slice off a large chunk toward his 900th point, as well) .

Then, with 4:58 left in the game, Mills grabbed a defensive rebound on a missed free throw by USCU’s Tony Dukes for his 500th career rebound as a Bear .

The Bears shot better than 48 percent (25-52) from the field for the game, while holding Upstate to a little less than 40 percent from the floor (23-58) . MU also won the battle of the boards by a 36-to-33 margin .

Mercer fought back from a big second half deficit to force over-time, only to be disappointed in the extra period, falling at Camp-bell University, 80-74 . The Camels led by 15 with 5:18 remaining in regulation .

That’s when MU mounted a furious comeback in the most im-probable of manners . Campbell’s Lorne Merthie made two charity tosses with 3 .7 seconds left and matters seemed to be settled, 65-63 .

Mercer inbounded and head coach Bob Hoffman called a timeout with 1 .1 seconds left to give MU the inbounds attempt at mid-court . After breaking the timeout huddle, Langston Hall threw the ball down low to Brian Mills who went up on the catch-and-shoot try and was fouled with one-tenth of a second on the clock .

Mills, who in the last few weeks, had the ball in his hands with game-winning opportunities in the waning seconds in losses to both Georgia and Charlotte and could not convert, went to the line and centered both free throws to send the game into over-time, 65-65 .

2010-11 GAME-BY-GAME

MU was glad to take substance over style this time as it garnered its first road win of the year by topping Florida Gulf Coast University, 50-47 .

The first half had nightmarish qualities for MU in virtually every possible way . Head coach Bob Hoffman’s starting five had just six points in the period and all by just two players (Brandon Moore with four and Brian Mills with two) .

Mercer trailed the entire first half and the bulk of the second stanza, as well . Despite tying matters three times in the final segment, MU was not able to take a lead until there was just 1:16 left in the game when Jeff Smith converted a driving righthand layup to make it 45-44 in favor of the Bears . With less than a minute left, the Eagles hit two free throws to go up by one (46-45) .

After seeing several close games slip away of late, this time it was Mercer which hit the big shot to close out the win . The dagger came from junior transfer Justin Cecil, who canned a three-pointer from the left corner to give MU the lead it would not relinquish, 48-46 .

Mercer University fell behind early and could not catch up as it lost at Stetson University, 79-72, in an Atlantic Sun Conference game .

The Bears trailed at the intermission, 39-29, not necessarily be-cause of what they were doing wrong as much as what the Hatters were doing right . In the opening 20 minutes alone, Stetson shot better than 59 percent (16-27) from the floor and was an uncon-scious 83 percent (5-6) from beyond the arc, as well has hitting both of its free throw attempts for good measure .

Stetson would end the night shooting better than 53 percent from the field and cooled considerably from three-point land (after go-ing 0-7 in the second half) by hitting 38 percent .

Stetson led by as much as 13 in the first half and had leads of 11 points twice in the second half . The Bears chipped away and even-tually whittled the hosts’ advantage to a manageable four points with 2:27 left on a Jeff Smith three-pointer .

Mercer could get no closer down the stretch as the Hatters matched the Bears’ buckets – as well as hitting their free throws – to secure the 79-72 win .

Jacksonville led the entire first half, but the guests were even-tually overtaken by the Bears at the 15:44 mark of the second period thanks to a Brian Mills jumper that made it 46-45 . The Dolphins retook the lead eight minutes later and, with 6:17 left in regulation, went up by four points on an Ayron Hardy (14 points) three-ball .

Both teams missed opportunities to win the game in regulation thanks to missed free throws . MU’s Mark Hall converted one-of-two charity tosses with 1:03 remaining . Then JU’s Travis Cohn (10 points) also missed one of two free throws with 16 seconds left, to make it 62-62 . When Hall’s three-point attempt fell well short, the Bears went into their second overtime game of the year .

In the OT, Mercer’s Brian Mills converted one-of-two free throws with 1 .2 seconds left and JU was unable to get off another shot, for the 70-68 final score . Mills had 24 points to lead all scorers .

Mercer University’s inability to stop a hot-shooting University of North Florida squad resulted in a 74-64 Atlantic Sun Conference loss at the University Center . UNF shot a blistering 55 percent (26-47) from the field and were nearly as effective from three-point country by hitting 47 percent (9-of-19) in snapping Mercer’s winning streak at two .

Despite UNF’s shooting, Mercer trailed by a manageable four points at the half, 35-31 . But a second half blitz by UNF put the host MU team in an 18-point hole by the 11:51 mark of the second period . The Ospreys opened the second stanza by making good on 9-of-11 field goal at-tempts to take a 59-41 lead .

Playing minus leading scorer Jeff Smith – who was lost to a knee injury in the waning seconds of the OT win versus Jacksonville – the Bears found some energy for a late comeback bid behind the efforts of senior Mark Hall and sophomore reserve Chris Smith . The tandem’s long –range shooting helped MU climb to within six points twice with less than 4:15 to play, but Mercer would get no closer .

Mercer broke a halftime deadlock with a strong second half surge to defeat Kennesaw State University on its home floor, 78-70 . The con-test was tied at 36-36 at the intermission with neither team leading by more than four points at any time in the opening stanza . Overall in the game, there were eight ties and 15 lead changes .

MU’s Brandon Moore had a team-leading 22 points, followed closely by Brian Mills with 21 . Moore’s total equaled his career single game scoring high (also going for 22 on Dec . 2, 2009 at Belmont) and was his 14th double-digit scoring game of the year . Moore hit 10-of-15 field goal attempts and supplemented that with eight rebounds .

Mills’ effort was his fifth 20-point game of the year and his 15th double-figure game of 2010-11 . Mills had a good all-around effort as he also hauled in a team-high nine rebounds and passed off for four assists .

Justin Cecil came off the MU bench to tally 13 points – 10 in the second half alone – and Mark Hall booked 10 points to round out the quartet of Bears in double-figure scoring .

Mercer University picked up its second-straight win – both on the road – with a 65-53 come-from-behind win at USC Upstate .

It was a tale of two halves, as MU fell behind by as many as 13 points (20-7) with 11: 24 remaining in the first half, only to turn the tables on the Spartans in the second stanza when the visitors built a 13 point bulge themselves, thanks to the likes of freshman Bud Thomas .

The Bears turnaround in that first 20 minutes was cued by senior Brian Mills, who made three successive baskets to get his team tied, 22-22, with 4:06 left until intermission .

In the second half, the Bears once again got a big lift from their bench for the third-consecutive me, this time it came via Thomas . Thomas, who had just two first half points, tallied 11 in the second half to finish the game with 13 points and five boards . Thomas’ layup with 12:45 left to play gave Mercer the lead it would not relinquish, 39-37 .

The Bears had their two-game win streak hit a wall in an 82-75 loss at East Tennessee State University . MU’s string of injury misfortune continued as senior forward Brandon Moore went down with a knee injury just three-and-one-half minutes into the game and was unable to return .

Mercer was already playing its fourth game minus senior guard Jeff Smith, who was leading the squad in scoring when he went down with a knee injury eleven days ago .

The Bears got another outstanding performance from junior transfer Justin Cecil off the bench . Cecil had a team-leading and MU career-high 23 points, hitting 9-of-17 from the floor and 5-of-8 from three-point range . The Lakeland, Fla ., native also grabbed a team-best seven rebounds . As if the rash of injuries were not enough, MU found itself in foul trouble at ETSU with one player (Jake Gollon) fouling out and three others (Brian Mills, Bud Thomas and Cecil) finishing the game with four personals apiece .

The last time Mercer University men’s basketball team played Camp-bell University, it took an overtime period to decide matters in favor of the Camels . In the rematch in Macon, things were pretty much settled with ten minutes left to play in the game as the Bears cruised to a 63-45 victory before 2,671 fans at the University Center .

MU led at the half, 26-20, as CU’s largest lead of the game came on the first basket of the night, 2-0 . Conversely, with 9:58 remaining to be played, Mercer enjoyed a 20-point cushion after a trey by Mark Hall made it 49-29 .

The Bears were playing their fourth game without leading scorer and assist man Jeff Smith and Brandon Moore . Both seniors were lost for the season and MU was a team in flux .

But Head Coach Bob Hoffman’s squad continued to find renewed support from players who were heretofore only playing sporadic minutes . Versus Campbell, it was freshman Bud Thomas providing the contribution in the form of his first collegiate double-double . The Highlands Ranch, Colo ., native scored 10 point and pulled down 10 rebounds to help the Bears pull away in the second half .

The Bears won for the seventh time in nine games, holding off a second-half rally by Florida Gulf Coast for a 74-61 Atlantic Sun Con-ference victory Saturday at the University Center .

Mercer built a 20-point lead at 34-14 with six minutes left in the opening half before FGCU cut the margin to 40-30 just before inter-mission . The Bears shot 55 .6 percent (15-for-27) in the opening 20 minutes .

Junior Justin Cecil nailed a pair of three pointers en route the scoring 12 of his 14 points in the first half . Mark Hall added two first-half treys and totaled eight points .

The Eagles continues to whittle away at the Bear advantage early in the second half and eventually tied the score at 54 apiece with 7:04 remaining . The tie score came on the heels of a 10-0 FGCU surge that spanned four minutes .

Mercer looked to senior Brian Mills to spark the response, and the Douglasville, Ga . native came through with four-straight points . Mercer would not relinquish the lead after Mills’ spurt .

For the third time this season, Mercer had to play an overtime game and, for the second-consecutive time in an extra-segment game, it came away with a win on its home floor by defeating Stetson University, 72-62 .

The Hatters came out strong and were brimming with confidence after taking a 21-10 lead at the 11:35 mark of the first half . But the resilient MU squad fought back behind 15 first-half points from senior forward Brian Mills, eventually tying matters at 25-25 at the intermission . Also credit a smothering MU defense that allowed Stetson just four points the rest of the first half after getting down by 11 .

Mills would finish the night with 21 points and a game-high eight rebounds for his 20th double-figure scoring game of the season .

In the second half, MU freshman Bud Thomas was fouled with eight sec-onds remaining and made one of two free throws to tie the game, 53-53 .

In the overtime, the Bears shredded the Hatters’ hopes by out-scoring the visitors, 19-9 . Redshirt freshman Jake Gollon tallied seven of his career-high 14 points in the final five minute set to push Mercer to the 72-62 win . Gollon also pulled in six rebounds .

Mercer clinched its 27th-consecutive Atlantic Sun Confer-ence post-season tournament berth thanks to its 57-55 victory over Kennesaw State University . The Bears trailed by six early in the first period before over-taking the Owls and building an eight-point cushion by the intermission, 31-23, behind senior Brian Mills . Mills scored eight of his team-high 18 points in the opening segment, including surpassing the 1,000th career point plateau with his second field goal just 2:01 minutes into the game .

Early in the second, MU did build its largest lead, a 10 point bulge, only to see the Owls peck away, getting within one point (42-41) with 9:09 left and eventually tying matters at 53-53 with 2:50 to play and at 55-55 with 15 seconds left .

Mercer called a timeout with 9 .5 seconds left to set up its final shot . When play finally resumed, freshman Bud Thomas inbounded the ball, throwing it to Langston Hall in the back-court . After delivering the ball to Hall, Thomas broke toward the right corner and Hall faked a penetration dribble on the right, and instead passed to Thomas . As the Owl defenders raced toward Thomas, the Highlands Ranch, Colo ., native delivered a perfect bounce pass to an open Mills who laid the ball in with 3 .3 seconds left, 57-55 .

MU kept rolling along with its fifth-straight victory, a 78-75 deci-sion at the University of North Florida . Taking down the Ospreys, proved to be no easy task .

The Ospreys enjoyed a nine point lead in the first half and MU an eight point advantage in the opening stanza, as well . The teams ended tied at 33-33 at the intermission .

In the second half, neither squad led by more than five points at any time . The Bears – already depleted by injury – had three guards (Bud Thomas, Mark Hall and Chris Smith) all foul out .

But senior Brian Mills – as he has done so often of late – put the team on his back early and often versus UNF . Mills had a career-high 34 points by hitting 11-of-22 from the floor and 12-of-14 free throws, scoring the Bears’ first seven points of the game . It was Mills’ 23rd double-figure scoring game and his ninth with 20-plus points .

While Mills was the Bears’ lone double-digit scorer, the contribu-tions team-wide are what made the difference at the wire . Jake Gollon tallied MU’s final four points of the game to provide the margin of victory .

Mercer University could not overcome the depth and balance of Atlantic Sun Conference leader Belmont University’s roster, fall-ing at home by a 75-64 score at the University Center .

The Bears trailed at halftime, 39-32, and the methodical Bruins led by as much as 24 points in the second half . A late surge by the MU squad got the team to within the 11-point final score .

Brian Mills led all scorers with 15 points, buoyed by a five-of-seven night from the free throw stripe . Mills also had a game-leading eight rebounds . It was Mills’ 24th double-digit scoring game of the season .

Justin Cecil was the only other Bear in double figures, tallying 11 points off the bench . Jake Gollon added nine points and Bud Thomas eight . As a team, Mercer actually out-shot Belmont 43 to 40 percent from the field . However, the Bruins connected on four more three-point baskets (nine to five) than did MU .

March 3, 2011Macon, Ga. (A-Sun 1st Round)University Center

The Bears’ team set the stage with some flair for the Atlantic Sun Conference basketball championship thanks to its 68-67 win over Lipscomb University . Lipscomb and Mercer were already locked in at the Nos . 4 and 5 seeds and both squads knew they would be playing each other again .

Neither team was able to secure a double-digit lead at any point in the game . The Bisons led by as much as eight in the first half and the Bears managed a six-point cushion in the second half . There were six ties and 10 lead changes .

Jake Gollon’s three-point basket with 22 seconds left in the game proved to be the difference, putting MU up 68-64 . LU’s Josh Slater (23 points) hit a free throw and a layup in the wan-ing seconds to make it 68-67 with 14 seconds left .

Senior forward Brian Mills had another stellar game with a team-high 20 points, hitting 7-of-16 from the floor . It was Mills’ 25th double figure game of the year and his 10th game with 20 or more points this season .

Mercer University, the host school and No . 5 seeded men’s team in the General Shale Brick Atlantic Sun Conference champion-ships, took out No . 4 seed Lipscomb University, 73-63, at the Uni-versity Center before a partisan crowd of 2,224 fans . MU built a comfortable lead by halftime – 38-27 – and withstood all charges by the Bisons in the second stanza, maintaining a double-figure lead for much of time .

Mercer’s largest margin was 14 points with 8:39 remaining .

The Bears rode a stellar effort by All-A-Sun forward Mills, who led all scorers with 27 points, while also grabbing six rebounds and blocking a pair of shots . Mills was 9-of-17 from the floor and a perfect seven-of-seven from the free throw stripe in registering his 26th double-figure scoring game of the year .

Freshman Bud Thomas and Mark Hall each added 12 points to round out MU’s leading scorers . Freshman point guard Langston Hall had nine points, four rebounds and dished off five assists .

2010-11 GAME-BY-GAME/STANDINGS

A gutsy effort by No . 5 seed Mercer University was not enough as the season came to a close with a loss to top-seeded Belmont University, 80-72, in the Atlantic Sun Conference men’s basket-ball championship semifinals .

The Bruins utilized their depth in building an 11-point halftime cushion . All eleven Belmont players who played in the game would score at least two points in the contest, with four players reaching double figures .

Mercer tried to make a move in the second half, getting the margin to three points after a pair of Brian Mills free throws with 3:07 left to play . But the Bears could get no closer as the Bruins seemed to have an answer for each MU uprising .

Mills closed out his Mercer career with his fifth double-double of the year, scoring game-high totals in both points (21) and rebounds (10) . Mills connected on 11-of-16 free throws, the second-most ever made by an MU player in an A-Sun tourna-ment game .

Basketball has a long-standing legacy at Mercer University. The first edition of Mercer cagers hit the hardwood over 100 years ago and tipped off what would be a successful history of championship teams.

The Mercer men’s basketball program has won in each conference of which it has been a member, dating back to the 1920s when the school was a member of the forerunner to the SEC, the Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Association (SIAA). The Bears claimed SIAA championships in 1922 and 1924. Mercer posted an overall record of 17-7 in 1921-22 and closed out the campaign by winning five of its last six contests to capture the SIAA title (losing its season finale to SIC foe North Carolina). The Bears defeated Centre, Kentucky, Chattanooga and Georgia Tech, before falling to UNC. The Bears were invited to the National Invitational Basketball Tournament in Indianapolis. Mercer captured the 1924 title with a 22-6 record, topping Millsaps, Louisiana College, Mississippi College and Centre in the 1924 SIAA Tournament.

In 1948, the Bears were invited to participate in the NAIB national tournament as an independent.

After the 1947-48 season, Mercer joined the Dixie Conference as one of nine charter members. The basketball program faced the likes of Florida State, Howard, Lambuth, Millsaps, Mississippi College, Oglethorpe, Stetson and Tampa during its stint in the conference. Mercer claimed the Dixie Conference tournament championship in 1951, 1952 and 1954, while garnering the regular season crowns in 1950, 1952 and 1953. Despite losing in the Dixie tourney finals in 1949-50, the team earned a spot in the NAIB tournament.

The 1971-72 team earned a trip to the NCAA College Division National Tournament. The program would move to the NCAA Division I and the Atlantic Sun Conference (then known as the Trans America Athletic Conference) in 1979.

The 1980-81 squad was led by Atlantic Sun “Player of the Year,” Benton Wade. The Bears finished the regular season third in the conference and were facing an uphill battle in the A-Sun tournament, held in Shreveport, La. Mercer proved to be up to the challenge downing Arkansas-Little Rock, Louisiana-Monroe and Houston Baptist in the championship game to capture the conference title and the school’s first ever berth in the NCAA tournament. Mercer faced the Southwest Conference’s Arkansas Razorbacks in the first round of the “Big Dance.” Despite a courageous effort by the lower-seeded Bears, the Razorbacks prevailed, 73-67.

The most recent chapter for Mercer championship success was written during the 2002-03 season. The Bears posted a 23-6 record, the best in school history, after finishing 6-23 the year before. The 17-game turnaround in one season was the largest in NCAA Division I history. Also, for the first time in the school’s 24-year affiliation with the A-Sun, it was the first regular season basketball title that Mercer had ever won. After going 5-2 in the first seven conference games of the season, the Bears rattled off 11 consecutive wins to close the regular season. The strong finish gave Mercer a number one seed in the conference tournament, but the Bears lost a heart-breaker to UCF in the conference tournament semifinals to end the season.

For the first time in school history, Mercer was ranked in the mid-major Top 25. Head coach Mark Slonaker was honored with the Jim Phelan Award as the national “Coach of the Year” and was also named the Atlantic Sun “Coach of the Year.”

BEAR PAUSE

THE HAZARD OF DUKE:

Former Bear Wesley Duke (1999-05), was one of the program’s most athletically gifted individuals ever, making him a dangerous “weapon”

on the court (he’s MU’s 19th all-time scoring leader). Duke has two

noteworthy achievements about his post-MU basketball career. First, he is the only Mercer player to ever win

the annual Slam Dunk Contest (left). After he was done playing hoops, his physical skills

attracted the attention of NFL scouts and he was signed by the

Denver Broncos (right) and eventually advanced to the team’s

Sam Mitchell starred for the Mercer University program from 1981-85. Arguably, the greatest player in the history of Bears’ basketball, he is second on the school’s career scoring list (finishing his collegiate career with 1,986 points) and was the 1985 Atlantic Sun Conference “Player of the Year.”

He led Mercer to the 1985 A-Sun championship and a berth in NCAA tournament against nationally-ranked Georgia Tech.

When he left Mercer, Mitchell was the Bears’ leader in the following categories: scoring (career & season), field goals made (career & season), most free throws made (season), and free throws attempted (season) and still holds all but the career scoring mark to this day. At the 1985 Portsmouth Invitational Tournament pre-draft camp, he was tabbed the most valuable player. Mitchell was drafted in the third round (54 overall) by the Houston Rockets in the 1985 NBA Draft. He began his NBA career in 1989 as a free agent with the expansion Minnesota Timberwolves, but before entering the NBA, he paid his dues. Mitchell played three years in the Continental Basketball Association where he helped the Rapid City (S.D.) Thrillers to a championship and also in France’s top professional league for two seasons (1987-89). In 1989, he signed his first NBA contract on the back of Billy McKinney, Minnesota’s player personnel director, prior to a summer league game in San Antonio. He played three seasons in Minnesota before being acquired by the Indiana Pacers in September 1992. He returned to the Timberwolves as a free

agent in 1995 where he played an instrumental role in the on-and off-court development of 18-year-old rookie Kevin Garnett, who became the first player in 20 years to be drafted directly out of high school. Mitchell split his playing career between the Minnesota Timberwolves and Indiana Pacers. He appeared in 994 regular season games and 59 postseason contests, missing just 40 games to injury or illness throughout his career. He posted averages of 8.7 points, 3.7 rebounds and 1.1 assists. He ranks second all-time in Timberwolves history behind only Kevin Garnett in games played with 757 and second with 7,161 points, 1,773 free throws made, 2,664 field goals made, 3,030 rebounds and 449 steals. Following his playing career, Mitchell went into coaching as an assistant under George Karl for the Milwaukee Bucks, and Charlotte Bobcats before being named the sixth head coach of the Toronto Raptors in 2005 (serving in that capacity until 2008). Mitchell was the 2006-07 NBA “Coach of the Year” after leading Toronto to its first-ever Atlantic Division title and a franchise-record tying 47 wins.

In 2010, Mitchell returned to the NBA when he joined new N.J. Nets head coach Avery Johnson’s staff as an assistant coach. Mitchell’s addition to the Nets staff elicited the following from ESPN The Magazine’s Chris Broussard, who wrote “The addition of Mitchell could also be a benefit in free agency, as Mitchell has a strong reputation among players. Mitchell coached Chris Bosh, one of this summer’s most coveted free agents, in Toronto for more than four seasons, and Bosh has credited him for much of his development.”

In 2010, Mitchell was inducted in the Georgia Sports Hall of Fame (located in the city of Macon). Mitchell was born September 2, 1963. He and his wife, Anita, have four children: Morgann and Maya, and twins Rhagan and Rhana. He has been active in numerous charitable efforts through the years, particularly with the Special Olympics.

In Memorium

Eric Chambers, a two-time letterwinner, passed away in 1985 and his number was retired during the 1985-86 season.

The following poem was written by teammate Pete Geter in 1985:

God called you home at the twinkling of an eye there was no time to say goodbye.

A million times we have cried if loving you could have saved you, you never would have died.

Death is a heartache that no one can heal,Memories are something that no one can steal

Others may forget that your are gone, But we will remember no matter how long

What distinguishes a good university from a great universityextends far beyond the boundaries of its curriculum and its campus . The competence and character of an institution’s graduates are, more often than not, the hallmarks by which its reputation is both earned and measured .

As a private, co-educational institution, Mercer University has emerged as one of the premier universities in the Southeast and the nation .

Mercer is truly a dynamic and comprehensive center of undergraduate, graduate and professional education . Mer-cer’s outstanding faculty take students beyond the rigors of academic programs to explore the challengesof reason, responsibility, compassion and character . Through learning, living and leading, Mercer students are prepared not only to confront, but also to embrace the challenges of their future . Under the leadership of promi-nent Georgia Baptist leader Jesse Mercer, Mercer University was founded in Penfield, Ga ., in 1833 and later moved to Macon in 1871 . From its humble beginnings as a small liberal arts college, Mercer now offers programs in 11 schools and colleges . Conveniently located in the middle of the state, Macon serves as the educational, medical, cultural and commercial hub of central Georgia . Located just one hour from Atlanta - one of the nation’s most

popular international cities - and two hours from the Atlantic coast, Macon is easily accessible from two interstate highways - I-75 and I-16 . Consistently ranked by U .S . News & World Report and The Princeton Review among the nation’s leading universities, Mercer considers one of its strengths to be its superior faculty, who “teach from the heart .” At Mercer, students benefit from learning experiences guided by caring faculty, not teaching assistants found at many universities as is the case at many universities . The Higher Education Research Institute at UCLA recently named Mercer as a “highly selective” university, and The Princeton Review has placed Mercer among the Best 351 Colleges in North America .

The University is comprised of the College of Liberal Arts, the Walter F . George School of Law, the School of Phar-macy and Health Services, the School of Medicine, the Eugene W . Stetson School of Business and Economics, the

School of Engineering, the James and Carolyn McAfee School of Theology, the Tift College of Education, the Georgia Baptist College of Nursing, the College of Continuing and Professional Studies, and the Townsend School of Music . The University also operates the Mer-cer University Press in Macon and the Mercer Engineering Research Center in Warner Robins .

Mercer’s enrollment is nearly 8,100 students . While many students come from the Southeast, more than 38 states and 30 countries are represented among the student body . The average class size at Mercer is 21, with a student/faculty ratio of 13:1 - unusually low for a major university .

The benefits of campus living are numerous - the development of life-long friendships, a sense of community, enhanc-ing campus involvement and higher academic performance. For many new students, this is the first time they have lived away from home, and the community that develops on campus and in residence halls becomes a second family.

All freshman and sophomores (first-year and/or transfer students) are required to live on campus, with the exception of married students, students above the age of 21, students with children and/or students who live at home with a parent or guardian within reasonable commuting distance. In each of Mercer’s residence halls, safety comes first and foremost. The exterior doors are locked at all times, and students use their identification cards to gain ac-cess into their residence hall.

Even with its picturesque setting, the spirit of Mercer is not in the grandeur of its buildings, but in the gracious-ness of its people - a friendly, family-like community of faculty, staff and students who strive for excellence in all that they do.

The University offers a wealth of fascinating experi-ences and activities both in and outside the classroom. From academic clubs and honor societies, to perform-ing arts and special interest groups, to 16 national fraternities and sororities on campus, students can choose from more than 80 on-campus organiza-tions to discover new talents and interests and to gain important leadership skills they will need for life after college.

The strength and conditioning program at Mercer has three primary goals. These goals are to maximize athleticism, minimize injuries and increase mental/physical toughness. The way this is accomplished is by primarily utilizing ground based, multi-joint, triple extension, explosive exercises. Athletes will perform exercises of all types but focus is put on three main exercise styles: Olympic lifting, power lifting and plyometrics. The goal is to try and replicate the movements, velocities and forces that are experienced during competition of the athlete's sport.

Served by a professional full-time strength and conditioning coach as well as an assistant coach, Mercer Athletics provides a full range of weight training and exercise equipment to assist Mercer’s approximately 250 student-athletes in reaching their athletic potential through strength training and conditioning.
