The SoCon is definitely a one bid league so this game is kind of important.
That is because they are tied in the standings and any advantage going into the conference tourney could be big.
This is also the final game of the season for both programs.
Samford Bulldogs
These program have the same conference record and are probably about even in a lot of ways.
The Bulldogs are coming off a loss and have lost their last three conference road games so their confidence heading into this one might not be that high.
Demetrius Denzel-Dyson has to be one of the best names in the game this season but he also has game leading the Bulldogs in scoring at 16ppg.

Three other players score in double figures including Wyatt Walker who is a legit big and averages near a double-double. He often looks like a man among boys out there.
Samford is a good offensive team averaging 80ppg. They are 15th in the nation from three and can make their free throws.
It is the defense that has let them down this season. Walker for all his size is not much of a presence on defense.
Mercer Bears
Mercer has one of the best players in the conference but it has not helped as much as they would have liked.
Ria’n Holland is averaging 17ppg but it was Stephon Jelks who was preseason All SoCon. Jelks has been dreadful this season seeing his scoring drop from 11ppg to 7 as his shooting has fallen way off.
The only saving grace is that he has become a better rebounder. Maybe he can be better in the tournament.

Desmond Ringer has the same size as Wyatt and was a South Carolina recruit before transferring. He does not produce as much though.
Final game and more important the final home game is usually a good system in college hoops.
