Mercer Bears

The Mercer Bears play at Hawkins Arena in Macon, Georgia, competing in the Southern Conference. The Bears bring SoCon basketball to Middle Georgia. Mercer's orange and black colors and Macon location create a competitive identity in the conference.

Mercer upset Duke in the 2014 NCAA Tournament first round, one of March Madness's most memorable upsets. The Bears have made three tournament appearances. The program benefits from its Georgia location and has been competitive in the Southern Conference.
