CHATTANOOGA --- The sounds of basketball are back with both the Chattanooga Mocs men's and women's programs officially hitting the hardwood this week for practice. And with that, it's time to welcome fans back into McKenzie Arena to catch a glimpse of what's to come this 2022-23 season.
The two programs and the Chattanooga Athletics Department will host a Halloween-themed "Boo And Gold" event that will feature live scrimmaging, trick-or-treating and games for kids, autographs and even sending one lucky fan home with a year's supply of Papa John's pizza! The event will be held on Thursday, October 27 with doors opening at 6 p.m. ET and admission is FREE.
Due to ongoing construction and renovations at McKenzie Arena, fans must enter the facility at GATE 3. UTC's clear bag policy WILL be in effect.
A full breakdown and timing of the event can be found below.
