What to Know
The Kennesaw State Owls are 0-6 against the Mercer Bears since December of 2015, but they’ll have a chance to close the gap a little bit Friday. The Owls will hit the road for the second straight game as they head to Hawkins Arena at 7 p.m. ET. Given that these two teams suffered a loss in their last game, they both have a little extra motivation heading into this contest.
