TEAM
- UTC captured its 14^th Dr Pepper Classic (21 years) with a 74-59 win over Utah Valley tonight ... the Mocs improved to 6-8 overall while the Wolverines dropped to 7-9.

- Chattanooga senior Keegan Bell was named tournament MVP after scoring 25 points and dishing out 23 assists in the two-day affair ... UTC junior Drazen Zlovaric scored 20 points and had 20 boards to make the All-Tournament team ... also on the all-tourney squad were UVU's Geddes Robinson (15 pts and 24 boards in two games), Hampton's Darrion Pellum (43 points and 12 rebounds in two games) and Longwood's Antwan Carter (38 points and 12 rebounds in two games). 

- The Mocs started hot from the floor, hitting its first six shots...UTC went cold for the rest of the first half, connecting on just 6-23 (26.1%) to take a 30-26 lead at the break. 

- Chattanooga used a 12-4 run midway through the second half to push a 5-point 43-38 lead to a 13-point 55-42 cushion with just under 10 minutes left in the game. 

- The Mocs hit four of their last eight 3-pt. FGs.

- UTC had a season-low nine turnovers ... it is the fewest TOs in a game since Chattanooga gave it away just seven times in a 69-68 win against The Citadel on Jan. 13, 2011. 

- The Mocs were a season-best 86.7% (13-15) from the FT line tonight ... that is the best from the line for UTC since putting up the same numbers in a 75-49 loss at Richmond on Nov. 22, 2009. 

- As a team, the Mocs are shooting 43.0% from the field, but are 50.9% (89-175) from the field in the last three games ...  UTC is also shooting 37.4% from behind the arc on the year, but 41.1% (28-68) the last three games.
