MID-MAJOR RANKINGS

FOR OPENERS...Under Coach Bob Hoffman, Mercer is 8-1 in season openers. During Coach Hoffman’s ten-ure, the Bears are 7-0 in home openers, 1-0 in neutral site openers, and 0-1 in road opening contests. The last time Mercer lost a season opening game was the lid-lifter of the 2013-14 season, when the Bears dropped a 76-73 decision at Texas.

RETURNING FIREPOWERMercer returns all five starters from last season’s club. Those five starters – Ria’n Holland, Jor-dan 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. That translates to nearly 77% of the Bears’ offensive output from last year. In total, nine players are back from the 2016-17 team.

SENIOR LEADERSHIPSix seniors return from last year’s team. Those senior leaders include: Desmond Ringer, Jor-dan Strawberry, Ria’n Holland, Demetre Rivers, Rashad Lewis, and Stephon Jelks. Holland is the team’s leading returning scorer at 17.2 points per game; Jelks paced the club with 6.7 rebounds per outing; while Strawberry dished out a team-best 4.3 assists per contest.

BEARS HELD IN HIGH REGARDMercer has been tabbed as the preseason favorite to win the Southern Conference men’s championship by the league’s head coaches. The Bears were narrow favorites to claim the So-Con crown, tallying four first-place votes and 71 total points with Samford a close runner-up, earning three first-place votes and 70 total points.

HOLLAND EARNS PRESEASON HONORSSenior guard Ria’n Holland has received some worthy preseason recognition. The Fayette-ville, N.C., native was chosen to the 2017-18 preseason All-Southern Conference team as se-lected by the league’s coaches. The 6-0 Holland has also been named to the 2017-18 Lou Henson Award Preseason Watch List, as announced by CollegeInsider.com. The Lou Henson Award is presented annually to the nation’s top NCAA Division 1 mid-major player. Holland topped the Bears in scoring (17.2 ppg), three point goals made (77); and minutes played (31.5) last season.

MID MAJOR RESPECTUnder Coach Hoffman, the Bears have earned national respect as being one of the premier mid-major programs. Mercer has received preseason recognition in two mid-major power rankings. In NBC Sports’ preseason power rankings, Mercer was tabbed as the No.13 mid-ma-

jor team heading into this season. In CollegeInsider.com’s rankings, the Bears were selected as the No. 15 mid-major ball club. With Coach Hoffman at the helm, the Bears have notched 10 NCAA power conference wins, including a thrilling 78-71 victory over No. 6 Duke in the second round of the 2014 NCAA Championship Tournament. Here is a listing of Mercer’s NCAA power conference victories during the Coach Hoffman era:

SUCCESSFUL HURRICANE RELIEF EXHIBITIONMercer defeated Troy 77-73 Nov. 5 in an exhibition game played at Hawkins Arena to benefit the Salvation Army and its hurricane relief efforts. Three Bears scored in double figures, led by Holland’s 20 points. He was followed in scoring by Ringer (13) and sophomore forward Ethan Stair, who came off the bench to contribute 13 points. In that exhibition game, the Bears outrebounded the Trojans 39-28, with Ringer and Jelks leading the way with seven caroms each. Troy won the Sun Belt Conference Tournament championship last season and advanced to the NCAA Championship Tournament.

SCOUTING THE OPPONENTFriday’s season opening opponent – the Central Florida Knights – is coming off one of the program’s most successful seasons. In Coach Johnny Dawkins’ maiden campaign at the helm, the Knights posted a 24-12 record, tying their second most single-season victory total in the program’s Division 1 history. UCF advanced all the way to the Final Four of the National Invitation Tournament, defeating Colorado, Illinois State, and Illinois before losing to even-tual champion Texas Christian in the semifinals at Madison Square Garden. Mercer and UCF have a long history on the hardwood, with the two teams meeting 25 times as members of the Atlantic Sun Conference from 1993-2005. This will be the first meeting between the two teams since 2005, when UCF bested Mercer 81-68 in the conference tournament. The Bears’ last win in the series came in January, 2005 when they won 80-71. UCF leads the overall series 17-13 and has won the past two meetings. In Orlando, the series is knotted at 7-7. This will be Mercer’s first meeting against the Knights during the Coach Hoffman era.

COMMON FOESMercer and UCF feature two common opponents on their 2017-18 schedules. Both clubs meet Alabama and Memphis during the course of the season. The Bears square off against the Crimson Tide Dec. 19 in Huntsville, Ala., and travel to Memphis Dec. 2. UCF visits Alabama Dec. 3 and faces Memphis twice during the regular season – Jan. 3 at home and Feb. 11 on the road. UCF and Memphis compete in the American Athletic Conference.
