MACON, Ga. – Mercer Athletics has partnered with Campus Life, the College Hill Alliance, Mercer Village and the InTown Macon Neighborhood Association to launch a viewing party for the CollegeInsider.com men's basketball championship game. Wednesday night's event gets underway at 6 p.m. in Mercer Village.

The streets of Mercer Village will be blocked off starting at 6 p.m., allowing for a large inflatable screen to be set up in anticipation of the game's 9 p.m. tipoff.  The viewing platform and seating will be set by 7 p.m.

The screen will be located between Barnes & Nobel and Francars, and local merchants will have deals for patrons wearing Mercer orange.  Come out and support the Bears as they take on Utah State in their final push for the CIT title!
