Moctoberfest is a month-long celebration of Chattanooga Mocs
men's basketball. It includes historical moments, social media interactions and
introduction to UTC's freshmen among the myriad of video tributes and stories.
Day 28 focuses on the championship tradition of Chattanooga
Mocs basketball. In its 35 seasons in the Southern Conference, UTC is far and
away the most successful program.
The Mocs have captured 28 championships over those 35
campaigns. That includes 10 SoCon Tournament titles, 10 regular season and
eight division. Division play started in 1994-95.
In 19 of 35 seasons, Chattanooga has won a championship in
the league. Next on the list is Davidson which has 19 total championships
during the Mocs' reign in the conference. Here is a list of championships won
since UTC joined the SoCon in 1977-78:
