Mercer and UNCW played a close first half and were tied at 37 at 19:48 in the second half when Mercer went on a 13-0 run and UNCW was never able to catch them.
Mercer is playing a four guard lineup this year with either 6'11" 255 lb. West Virginia transfer Maciej Bender or 6'10" 230 lb. soph. Victor Buffuto at center and four guards. Part of that is due to necessity, as their only other post option is 6'6" freshman James Glisson. Glisson sometimes plays a PF with one of the big centers and sometimes plays the center spot when they go small. Luke Hamilton, 6'8" soph., recently announced a transfer. Mercer gets almost all of their scoring from the guard positions. They are lead by 6'4" Ethan Stair and 6'2 Djordje Dimitrijevic with the 6'3" Cummings hurt. Dimitrijevic had 23 pts.,5 rebs., 5 assists and Stair had 16 pts., 16 rebs., 4 assists tonight.
