Match Info

The Mercer Bears held off a late rally to defeat the East Tennessee State Buccaneers 82-76 in a Southern Conference NCAA basketball game on March 1, 2026. Mercer's efficient offense and clutch free-throw shooting down the stretch were enough to secure a key home victory. Mercer controlled the tempo for much of the game, building a double-digit lead in the second half through sharp outside shooting and effective ball movement. East Tennessee State, refusing to go away, mounted a furious comeback in the final minutes, using full-court pressure to force turnovers and cut the lead to just four points. The Bears showed their composure, however, breaking the press for a crucial layup and then hitting their free throws in the bonus to ice the game. A standout performance came from a Mercer guard who scored a game-high total and handled ETSU's pressure in the final moments. The win was important for Mercer's positioning in the tightly contested Southern Conference standings, while ETSU's road record took another hit. Mercer's head coach highlighted his team's poise under pressure, and the ETSU coach credited the fight but pointed to the early deficit as too large to overcome.
