The Citadel’s defense was vanilla, staying in its base 3-4 formation for most of the afternoon. “It was a lot of fun getting out there competing against each other,” said senior Hasan Black.

Mercer wrapped up the regular season with a 72-50 win over The Citadel last Saturday, easily covering the 9-point spread. The Bears also notched a 74-65 win over the Bulldogs on Jan. 28.
