MERCER BEARS

OPENING TIPOFFMercer’s men’s basketball team returns to action with a pair of non-conference road games against highly regarded opponents. The Bears take on La Salle this Sunday, Dec. 15 in Philadelphia with tipoff time set for 4:30 p.m. Mercer will then travel south-ward to face the Alabama Crimson Tide Tuesday, Dec. 17. The game will be played in Huntsville, Ala., and tipoff time is slated for 9 p.m. (ET).

SERIES HISTORYSunday’s game will be the second meeting all-time between Mercer and La Salle. Mercer dropped a hard-fought 98-96 triple overtime decision to the Explorers Dec. 22, 2016 in Macon. In that game, Jordan Strawberry went for 31 points, including five three pointers, and Ria’n Holland hit for 27, but it wasn’t enough to provide the Bears with the win. There were 11 ties and 16 lead changes during the course of the game. Holland logged a career-high 52 minutes, while Demetre Rivers and Strawberry each played 47 minutes. La Salle had three players eclipse the 20-point scoring mark, led by Jordan Price’s 26 points.

LAST TIME OUTRia'n Holland returned to the starting lineup for the first time in three weeks and picked up where he left off in leading Mercer to a convincing 82-64 victory over Florida A&M Saturday afternoon at Hawkins Arena. Holland, a 6-0 senior from Fayetteville, N.C., had missed the past three games with an ankle injury. He responded with a 24-point scoring effort, hitting seven of 10 field goals, including six of eight from three point range. The Bears shot a sizzling 51.9% from the floor and connected on 14 of 29 three point attempts. Senior forward Stephon Jelks flirted with a triple double, scoring 12 points, grabbing 10 rebounds and handing out seven assists. Jordan Strawberry also hit for double figures for the Bears, tally-ing 12 on the afternoon. Mercer raced out to a 47-31 halftime lead and kept Florida A&M at bay the remainder of the game.

UP NEXTFollowing Sunday’s game, Mercer heads southward to take on the Alabama Crimson Tide Tuesday, Dec. 19 in Huntsville, Ala. Tipoff time is set for 9 p.m. (ET).

The 6-7 senior leads the club in rebounding (7.1), which ranks 4th in the SoCon and is the Bears’ 3rd leading scorer (9.4). He also has been extremely accurate behind the three-point line, connecting on 15 of his 25 attempts for 60% which leads the South-ern Conference … Jordan Strawberry continues to pace the SoCon in assist/turnover ratio (2.6). The senior guard has dished out 42 assists (3rd in the league) while committing just 16 turnovers. He is also Mercer’s 2nd leading scorer with a 10.4 per game average … Demetre Rivers is tied for 4th in the SoCon in free throw shooting percentage, con-necting on 87.5% of his attempts … Senior Desmond Ringer has upped his scoring average to 7.1 points per game and is shooting 80.8% from the free throw line … The Bears are receiving strong contributions off the bench. Ethan Stair is the league’s 4th most accurate field goal shooter (58.2%) and is averaging 8.8 points and 2.7 rebounds per outing. Freshman Marcus Cohen (5.3 ppg), Cory Kilby (4.8 ppg), and Jaylen Stowe (3.1 ppg) are all averaging 14 or more minutes of playing time per contest.

SENIOR LEADERSHIPSix seniors return from last year’s team. Those senior leaders include: Desmond Ringer, Jordan Strawberry, Ria’n Holland, Demetre Rivers, Rashad Lewis, and Stephon Jelks.

SPEAKING OF SENIORSMercer is one of only two teams in the nation to start five seniors this season, with Texas Tech being the other. The Bears are currently 6-4 on the year and have been rated in the CollegeInsider.com Top 25 Mid-Major poll for the majority of the season, while the Red Raiders of the Big 12 Conference sport an 8-1 record and are currently ranked No. 24 in this week’s Associated Press poll.

RETURNING FIREPOWERMercer returns all five starters from last season’s club. Those five starters – Ria’n Holland, Jordan Strawberry, Demetre Rivers, Desmond Ringer, and Stephon Jelks – combined to score a total of 1,744 of the team’s 2,269 points on the season.
