Tip off at 8:00 central.
Mercer hasn't exactly been a great team over the years, but they are expected to contend for the Atlantic Sun title this year, so this could end up as a "quality" win for the Sooners (if Mercer wins their conference). The Bears have a senior loaded squad (4 starting seniors) and are led by senior guard Langston Hall. Size shouldn't be an issue for OU in this game, as Mercer's size looks very similar to the Sooners. Ultimately, the Bears are out matched by the Sooners with their starting unit, but will really be outmatched when both teams go to the bench. OU should win this one by double digits, but it wouldn't surprise me to see Mercer hang around for a half.
