Mercer Bears at The Citadel Bulldogs

Late run helps Mercer put away The Citadel 89-78

Desmond Ringer finished with 16 points and 10 rebounds and Demetre Rivers added 14 points for Mercer (13-15, 7-8 Southern Conference). The Bears shot 57 percent in the first half, and 51 percent overall while holding a 41-30 edge on the glass.

Preston Parks led The Citadel (9-19, 2-13) with 24 points and Zane Najdawi added 17. The year 2017 has been particularly unkind to the Bulldogs, who have lost 10 in a row and 11 of 13 since the calendar changed.

Mercer held a 50-36 halftime lead and kept The Citadel at arm's length for much of the second half. A Najdawi 3-pointer, however, moved the Bulldogs to 79-76 with 3:43 left. After two scoreless minutes, Ringer answered with a layup, sparking an 8-0 Bears run to ice it.
