- All-time record 1,391-1,118… 845-549 in Division I era (since 1977-78).

- Chattanooga finished 12-of-27 (44.4%) from three in the win… entered the game ranked fifth in NCAA DI in three-pointers per game (11.8)… three-straight games with 12 or more… first time accomplishing the feat since 2018 (December 1-12).
- Eight different Mocs recorded at least one three-pointer in the win… third time this season with eight or more… set a new NCAA DI record with 10 different players during the win over Covenant a few weeks ago.
